Calculations of the total energy, electron-phonon interaction, and Stoner parameter for metals

Using the augmented-plane-wave method, we performed total-energy calculations for all the metals crystallizing in the hcp structure and for all the 5d metals in the hcp structure. Also, using the predicted equilibrium lattice constants from our present and previous total-energy calculations, we carried out band-structure calculations that explore possibilities for superconductivity and magnetism in all the transition metals in the fcc, bcc, and hcp structures.
