| Title
A brief one-sentence description of this Property Definition.
| Isothermal bulk modulus of a crystal at a given temperature and stress state |
| Description
A description about this Property Definition.
| Isothermal bulk modulus of a crystal at a given temperature and stress state. The bulk modulus is defined as the ratio of an infinitesimal increase in the pressure p to the resulting relative decrease of the volume, or dilatation e (where e is the trace of the infinitesimal strain tensor) at a given reference state. The structure of the crystal is expressed as an AFLOW prototype label and its corresponding free parameters representing the average positions of the constituent atoms. |

| description | The [xx,yy,zz,yz,xz,xy] components of the symmetric Cauchy stress tensor at the reference configuration at which the bulk modulus is evaluated. The components should be expressed in the same coordinate system as the structure specified by prototype-label and parameter-values, with the orientation of lattice vectors defined in M. J. Mehl et al., Comput. Mater. Sci. 136, S1 (2017). |

| description | The AFLOW library prototype, if any, matching the structure. Prototypes in the AFLOW library are associated with common short names used by the materials community. The library prototype includes an integer enumeration suffix defined by the AFLOW standard when there are multiple parameter values associated with the structure (e.g. 'A_tI4_141_a-001' for 'betaSn'). Because these prototype labels are named according to their original material's conventional chemical formula, they may differ from the 'prototype-label' key, which is expected to be standardized to have the alphabetically lowest possible of all equivalent labels. |

| description | Names of the parameters other than 'a', if present, corresponding to this AFLOW prototype. These can include lattice parameters from the set {'b/a','c/a','alpha','beta','gamma'} (for the conventional crystal structure defined by lattice parameters a, b, and c and angles alpha, beta, gamma), and coordinates of Wyckoff positions that have a degree of variability labeled as 'x*', 'y*' and 'z*' where the asterisk represents an integer as defined by the AFLOW standard. |
