So you would not compare <br>
enthalpies, but free energies.<br>
The main contribution to the entropy comes from the phonons. Thus you <br>
must calculate the phonons and from the corresponding phonon-DOS you can <br>
get the "-TS" contribution to the free energy.<br>
<br>
Phonons can be calculated with WIEN2k and the help of programs like <br>
PHONOPY or PHONON (see unsupported software at <a href="http://www.wien2k.at" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">www.wien2k.at</a>) and one <br>
would do what is called the "quasiharmonic" approximation (i.e. <br>
calculate the phonons at various volumes).<br>
This is straight forward and has been done many times in Literature.<br>
<br>
However, this approach fails eventually, since in the harmonic <br>
approximation some phonons might be instable, giving imaginary frequencies.<br>
<br>
In that case, anharmonic terms are needed and several different schemes <br>
are discussed in Literature without consensus about the best method. In <br>
any case, all these calculations become very expensive.<br>
