AbstractDeformation properties of body-centered-cubic transition metals are controlled by the core structure of screw dislocations and their studies involve extensive computer simulations. In this paper we present the recently constructed bond-order potentials (BOP) that are based on the realspace parametrized tight-binding method. In order to examine the applicability of the potentials we have evaluated the energy differences of alternative structures, investigated several transformation paths leading to large distortions and calculated phonon dispersions. Using these potentials we have calculated γ-surfaces that relate to the dislocation core structures and discuss then the importance of directional bonding in studies of dislocations in transition metals.

Angularly-dependent many-atom potentials for the bond order of saturated or unsaturated bonds are derived within the tight binding (TB) Hückel approximation. These potentials are firmly based on the theorem of linearized many-atom expansion for the bond order, which is novel and gives exact bond order. The explicit angular dependence appears through the moments and interference terms about a bond. Since these potentials give an appropriate description of bonding, they should play an important role in atomistic simulations for semiconductors and transition metals and their compounds. We demonstrate the rapid convergence of the many-atom series for the potentials through some illustrative examples from s bonded elements and d bonded transition metals.

ABSTRACTAn electronic theory for the total energy of binary alloys is presented. It treats the entire range of concentration and short-range order. The method in not ab initio, but requires only information about the pure elemental constituents of the alloy. Results for two very different metal series, monovalent metals and 4-d transition metals, are calculated and compared to experiment and other models. The model calculation allows us to examine the physical basis for experimental trends.
