We recalculated the bulk modulus of cubic (Formula presented)(Formula presented) and obtained 470 GPa, while our method yields 441 GPa for diamond. Our calculated difference from diamond (29 GPa) is in good agreement with their value of 28 GPa. Two special k points were used for the Brillouin zone integration and cutoff energy was set to 60 Ry. There are slight differences in the relaxed parameters from the above paper. We have compared various components of stress tensor and found that the major contribution to high bulk modulus is the kinetic part of electrons. The electronic structures of pseudocubic and cubic (Formula presented)(Formula presented) turn out to be almost the same.
