To the WIEN authors:
In case.outputeos, an expression for the Murnaghan equation is given as:
E=B*V/BP*(1/(BP-1)*(V0/V)**BP +1)
However, this is not the equation which is used inside the code (and which
is found in the literature), which is:
E=E0+[B*V/BP*(1/(BP-1)*(V0/V)**BP +1)-B*V0/(BP-1)]/14703.6
(a term E0, a term B*V0/(BP-1) and a factor 1/14703.6 were missing). The
expression for the pressure P=B/BP*((V0/V)**BP -1) seems to be OK, apart
from the same factor 1/14703.6 (needed to convert the bulk modulus from GPa
to atomic units).
To avoid confusion, it would be better to put the correct expressions either
in case.outputeos or in the UG.
