Embedded atom potentials have been extensively used for performing atomistic simulations of point, line and planar defects in metals and alloys (e.g. Vitek and Srolovitz 1989). The pair potential ( ), atomic charge density pBtom(r), and embedding function F(p) are usually fitted to reproduce the known equilibrium atomic volume, elastic moduli, and ground state structure of the perfect defect-free lattice. However, the prediction of ground state structure, especially the competition between the common metallic structure types fee, bcc, and hep, requires a more careful treatment of the pair potential contribution ( ) than that provided by the semiempirical embedded atom potential. This is considered in the next chapter.

The embedding functional (EB[ ( pB]), which is the key element of the orbital-free embedding formalism reviewed in this chapter, can be seen according to Eq. 39 as a contraction of the functional 5s, , ..., f, 4>nb in which Levy... 

One of the cleanest routes to determining embedding functions is by invoking the universal binding energy relation (UBER) (Rose et al. 1984). On the basis of a vast collection of experience with first-principles calculations of a range of materials, it was found that the total energy as a function of lattice parameter may be fitted to... 

Note that we have imitated Johnson s notation in which the quantity / is a constant factor that appears in the determination of the density p, and the parameters ro, and o are other parameters that are determined through the fitting procedure. Once the density function and the pair potentiai have been specified, fhe determination of the embedding function is complete in principle. In this case, because of the choice of functions, the relevant equations can be solved analytically with the result that the embedding energy is given by...

Assume that the binding curves for the asymptotic fragments are available and have been used to determine the relevant parameters (7>ab> ab> ab)> (Das, Kas. l As) (Dj,s, bs. bs)- The parameters for the interaction with jellium, (Dah, ah. ah) and (Dbh, bh. bh). are not adjustable, being determined by the SCF-LD values. Thus, the remaining variables in the PES, the so-called Sato parameters, Aab>A s, and A s, are undetermined and available for flexible representation of the full molecule-solid reactive PES. We consider the effect of these on the PES later. At this point, we do want to emphasize that the basic physics and chemistry— (1) interactions with localized and delocalized metal electrons and (2) nonadditive chemical bonding—are correct. We should also note that the representation of an interaction in metals in terms of an embedding function (in jellium) plus two-body terms is identical in spirit to the embedded atom method (EAM) (Daw and Baskes 1984, 1988). The distinction here is that we do not use the EAM for the A-B interaction and explicitly incorporated nonadditive energies via the LEPS prescription, both of which are important for the accurate representation of the reactive PES. 

Until suppliers embody 21 CFR 11 compliance within the products, demonstrating an application s compliance will almost inevitably involve the use of hybrid systems. The term hybrid system is used to describe the management procedures defining how to use a computer system in combination with the computer system s embedded functionality. Where hybrid systems are used, it is vital that actions managed by procedures are contemporaneous with their associated electronic record or signature. 

Furthermore, the embedding function and the pair terms are empirically fit to materials properties, and the pair-additive electron contributions <]) are either taken from atomic electron densities or also fit as empirical functions.

Chapter 11 deals with the tight-binding and the embedded-atom models of solid state. The method of the local combination of atomic orbitals is described. We present examples of the technique application. Description of atom systems in the embedded-atom method, embedding functions and applications are considered. In conclusion the reader will find the review of interatomic pair potentials. 

There are two ways of constructing the embedding function F(p). One way is to describe it by an analytical function (or cubic spline) with adjustable parameters. Another way is to postulate an equation of state of the ground-state structure.
