Table 7 - Results of published DFT studies for bulk moduli and lattice parameters of Si, Al and NaCl (NB: PSPW = pseudopotential plane-wave method, (F)LAPW = (fully-) linearized augmented plane-wave method, ASA+E = atomic spheres approximation - a version of the LMTO formalism, NUM = fully numerical approach).
