What is A simple empirical N -body potential for transition metals about?

A simple form of multi-ion interaction has been constructed for the purpose of atomistic simulation of transition metals. The model energy consists of a bonding term, which is the square-root of a site density p i , summed over atoms i, and a repulsive pairwise term of the form C 4 v(&). The site density pt is defined as a sum over neighbouring sites j of a cohesive potential + ( R [ j ) . Both 1.' and 4 are assumed to be short-ranged and are parameterized to f i t the lat.tice constant, cohesive energy and elastic moduli of the seven body-centred-cubic (b.c.c.) transition metals. The result is a simple model which, unlike a pair-potent,ial model, can account for experimental vacancy-formation energies and doea not require an externally applied pressure to balance the ' Cauchy pressure '. ij 8 1.
