Abstract

In this paper, the electronic and the structural (Lattice constant) properties of ?-BeH2, which is the ground state of BeH2, in orthorhombic crystal system, with space group (Ibam) are calculated using density functional theory. The Kohn-Sham equations were solved; using the Full-potential linearized augmented Plane-wave (FP-LAPW) method. With the apt choice of Ueff = U
