Weber model

The Weber model, in which each atom is coupled to its neighboring massless bond by a force constant / and each bond is coupled to its neighboring bond by a force constant /. A long-range force between atoms arises through the coupled bonds when an atom is displaced by w.

Gonzalez et al. first reported CoSn2 on metal foam obtained by electrodeposition of amorphous Co-Sn alloy and subsequent annealing [77]. It was observed that low current densities and short electrodeposition times favor the formation of discrete submicrometric particles (Volmer-Weber model] and the electrochemical behavior in lithium cell was very good, while the capacity in sodium cell was lower.
