Comparison of the reaction energies for kyanite (ky) and sillimanite (sill) at 0 K (ΔRH0K, ΔRU0K) using different functionals and their reference values (all values in kJ/mol)

ΔRH0K, ΔRU0K
SiO2 + Al2O3 = ky SiO2 + Al2O3 = sill ky = sill
Reference − 5.397a + 0.199a 5.596a
LDA − 17.184 − 12.098 5.086
GGA-PBESOL − 8.819 − 12.887 − 4.068
B3LYP + 3.422
PBE0 − 2.524 − 19.534 − 17.010

aReference values, taken from the Janaf-tables (Chase 1998) for the oxides, Holland and Powell (2011) for ky and sill, and Robie and Hemingway (1984) for their heat contents between 298.15 and 0 K
