    • Abstract

       

      A Unified study of lattice-mechanical properties of lead using energy-dependent pseudopotential is carried out. Energy dependence in pseudopotential is considered through the effective mass approximation; the pseudopotential model chosen is the local Heine-Abarenkov model potential. Properties studied include cohesive energy, equilibrium lattice parameter, second-order elastic constants, pressure derivative of second-order elastic constants, equation of state (atT=0 K), phonon-dispersion and effective two-body interaction. The results show fairly good agreement with experiment especially with a modified Heine-Abarenkov potential.
