This model is based on the charge equilibration (QEq) method and explicitly takes into account the mixed iono\u2013covalent character of the metal\u2013oxygen bond by means of a tight-binding analytical approach in the second-moment approximation of the electronic structure. The parameters of the model were optimized to reproduce structural and energetic properties of the a-Al2O3 corundum structure at room temperature and pressure. The model exhibits a good transferability between five alumina polymorphs: corundum, Rh2O3 (II)-type, perovskite (Pbnm), CaIrO3-type and U2S3-type structures. The limit length is rc2sm=dc2**2."
