Abstract

Self-consistent band structure calculations have been used to calculate the cohesive energy of UO2. The computed cohesive energy was 1.641 Ry/formula unit compared with an experimental value of 1.614 Ry/formula unit. The self consistent charge density has been compared with free atom charge densities to illustrate the formation of bonding charge between the atoms.
