This page documents an OPTIMADE Property Definition. See https://schemas.optimade.org/ for more information.
ID: https://schemas.httk.org/defs/v0.1/properties/mechanics/bulk_modulus
Definition name: bulk_modulus
Property name: Bulk modulus
Description: The bulk modulus B = -V dP/dV at the reference state, in gigapascal. The protocol that produced the value (static equation-of-state fit, quasi-harmonic at temperature T, elastic-tensor average) is identified by how it was produced and recorded alongside, not by this definition.
A null value means the quantity is not available or not recorded.
Type: float
Implementation requirements:
- Support: OPTIONAL support in implementations, i.e., MAY be null.
Examples:
