This directory contains a parametrization for the KIM Model Driver EAM_IMD.
The potential was created for the ternary alloy Al-Mn-Pd, specifically for the
epsilon-phases. It can be used for structure optimization since it yields very precise
energies.

** WARNING ** This specific parametrized Model may sometimes yield forces that are
              inconsistent with its potential energy surface.  For instance, when run
              against the 'utility_forces_numer_deriv' example simulator included with
              KIM API v2, this Model shows disagreement in forces if one hardcodes the
              variable 'FCCspacing' to 5.4 Angstroms.  Using a significantly lower or
              higher value of 'FCCspacing', however, shows agreement.  This special
              mismatch regime is not captured by ForcesNumerDeriv__VC_710586816390_001!
