Calculations of vacancy formation energies and divacancy binding energies for noble metals using pseudopotential formalism

Vacancy formation energies (E^f_1v) and divacancy binding energies (E^B_2v) for noble metals have been calculated using the Moriarty's pseudopotential. While the calculated E^f_1v are coincident with the experimental values except Cu, E^B_2v agree with them for all the metals tolerably.
