The full-potential linear muffin-tin orbitals (FP-LMTO) method is used to c
alculate the total energy and equilibrium lattice properties for the observ
ed phases of Hf. The temperature and pressure dependences of the Gibbs ener
gy are found for these structures within the Debye model. A quantitative ag
reement with the experimental points of the P-T phase diagram is obtained.
