The principles behind\nEMT are described in Refs. 2 and 3 (with 2 being the more detailed and 3 being\nthe most pedagogical). Be aware that the functional form and even some of the\nprinciples have changed since refs 2 and 3. EMT can be considered the last\nstep of a series of approximations starting with Density Functional Theory,\nsee Ref 4.\n\nThese files are based on Asap version 3.8.1 (SVN revision 1738).\n\n\nREFERENCES:\n\n[1] Jacobsen, K.

It should be\n implemented.\n\n* More testing is needed."
