ABSTRACTA model for studying carbon-hydrogen systems with molecular dynamics (MD) is developed based on an empirical tight-binding approach for the calculation of the interatomic forces. The parameters involved are obtained by fitting to the structure of methane. The transferability of the model is tested by reproducing accurately several electronic, structural, and vibrational properties of hydrocarbon molecules. Ab initio results on carbon clusters with hydrogen are compared with the results obtained with our model.

ABSTRACTAn angular-force method for bcc transition-metals is obtained by generating a functional form via a quantum-mechanical analysis, and subsequently fitting the parameters in this form to experimental and ab-initio theoretical inputs. The quantummechanical analysis uses a four-moment treatment of the electronic density of states (DOS) in a d-band tight-binding model. Calibration of the method gives excellent results for the bcc-fcc energy difference and the vacancy-formation energy in W. The method is used to treat relaxation and c(2 × 2) reconstruction on the W (100) surface. The relaxation energy is primarily due to two-body terms, while the reconstruction requires the angular terms. Agreement with ab-initio results is obtained for reasonable values of the parameters in the model. However, the energy difference between the reconstructed surface and the optimally relaxed surface is quite sensitive to the details of the implementation of the method.

ABSTRACTA transferable orthogonal tight-binding model for molybdenum is developed which goes beyond the traditional two-center approximation. The elements of the Hamiltonian matrix as well as the repulsive potential are allowed to depend on the environment. Several bulk, atomic defect and surface properties are calculated and compared with ab-initio data and experimental results to check the accuracy of the model.

The conduction-band electronic structure of the simple-cubic (sc) Na 2 CsC 60 in different molecular orientational states is studied with a tight-binding model in which both the radially directed C-pπ orbital and tangentially directed C-σ orbital are considered. The obtained results are basically in agreement with the previous ones induced by the radially directed C-pπ orbital approximation. This implies that the conduction-band electronic structure of Na 2 CsC 60 is dominated by the radially directed C-pπ orbital. Both the valence and conduction band of the body-centered-cubic (bcc) K 6 C 60 obtained from this tight-binding model are also comparable to the existing ab initio ones.
