Bulk properties of the stabilized uniform interstitial electron gas in metals

Abstract
Employing the stabilized-jellium model [J. Perdew et al., Phys. Rev. B 42, 11 627 (1990)] and using the bonding-valence and interstitial-density parameters [J. H. Rose and H. B. Shore, Phys. Rev. B 48, 18 254 (1993)], the binding energy and bulk modulus of simple metals are calculated. Using the same approach the bulk moduli of d metals are also calculated and they are in quite good agreement with experiment and with more sophisticated calculations.
