The embedded-atom method is a semi-empirical method for performing calculations of
defects in metals. The EAM incorporates a picture of metallic bonding, for which there is …

Recent research has led to a deeper understanding of the nature and consequences of
interactions of materials on an atomic scale. The results have resonated throughout the field …

In this book the author discusses the investigation of ion bombardment of solids by computer
simulation, with the aim of demonstrating the usefulness of this approach to the problem of …

Semiempirical potentials for silicon, germanium, and their alloys are derived with use of the
modified-embedded-atom-method formalism. Following Baskes [Phys. Rev. Lett. 59, 2666 …

Self-diffusion of single adatoms on the (100),(110),(111),(311), and (331) surfaces of fcc
metals is investigated with the embedded atom method (EAM). The general trend of …

The activation energies for self-diffusion of transition metals (Au, Ag, Cu, Ni, Pd, Pt) have
been calculated with the Embedded Atom Method (EAM); the results agree well with …

The modified embedded atom method (MEAM) is an empirical extension of the embedded
atom method that includes angular forces. A detailed study is presented to show the effect of …

The high-temperature behavior of a high-angle twist grain boundary, a free surface, and
planar arrays of voids of various sizes, all on the (001) plane in copper, are studied through …

Until recently, surface reconstruction and roughening have been studied as separate
surface phenomena and have been described theoretically by means of separate models …

Publisher Summary The chapter presents a review that describes the main approaches to
transcending pair potential descriptions of transition metals and semiconductors. The …
