Abstract
The linear muffin-tin orbital method, which is good for close-packed structure, is used to obtain pressure as a function of volume for the primitive-hexagonal silicon by introducing empty spheres at voids to make it close packed. The computed results are in good agreement with the experimental values. The Thomas-Fermi screening parameter, Pauli spin susceptibility, and the electronic heat capacity of the primitive-hexagonal, hcp, and fcc phases of silicon are calculated as functions of pressure and possible comparisons are made.
