Interatomic potential for Iron (Fe).
Use this Potential

Title A single sentence description.	EAM potential (LAMMPS cubic hermite tabulation) for Fe developed by Mendelev et al. (2003); Potential #5 v005
Description A short description of the Model describing its key features including for example: type of model (pair potential, 3-body potential, EAM, etc.), modeled species (Ac, Ag, ..., Zr), intended purpose, origin, and so on.	Two procedures were developed to fit interatomic potentials of the embedded-atom method (EAM) form and applied to determine a potential which describes crystalline and liquid iron. While both procedures use perfect crystal and crystal defect data, the first procedure also employs the first-principles forces in a model liquid and the second procedure uses experimental liquid structure factor data. These additional types of information were incorporated to ensure more reasonable descriptions of atomic interactions at small separations than is provided using standard approaches, such as fitting to the universal binding energy relation. The new potentials (provided herein) are, on average, in better agreement with the experimental or first-principles lattice parameter, elastic constants, point-defect energies, bcc–fcc transformation energy, liquid density, liquid structure factor, melting temperature and other properties than other existing EAM iron potentials. This is potential #5 from [M.I. Mendelev, S. Han, D.J. Srolovitz, G.J. Ackland, D.Y. Sun and M. Asta, Phil. Mag. 83, 3977-3994 (2003)].
Species The supported atomic species.	Fe
Disclaimer A statement of applicability provided by the contributor, informing users of the intended use of this KIM Item.	Note that there is a typographical error in the table of parameters for this potential in the paper describing it [1]. This is potential is suitable for the simulation of the bcc Fe or solidification. For simulation of the fcc phase, one can use the Fe part from the Fe-Ni-Cr potential developed by Mendelev instead (https://openkim.org/id/EAM_Dynamo__MD_120291908751_005).

This Test Driver uses LAMMPS to compute the cohesive energy of a given monoatomic cubic lattice (fcc, bcc, sc, or diamond) at a variety of lattice spacings. The lattice spacings range from a_min (=a_min_frac*a_0) to a_max (=a_max_frac*a_0) where a_0, a_min_frac, and a_max_frac are read from stdin (a_0 is typically approximately equal to the equilibrium lattice constant). The precise scaling and number of lattice spacings sampled between a_min and a_0 (a_0 and a_max) is specified by two additional parameters passed from stdin: N_lower and samplespacing_lower (N_upper and samplespacing_upper). Please see README.txt for further details.

Calculates the surface energy of several high symmetry surfaces and produces a broken-bond model fit. In latex form, the fit equations are given by:

E_{FCC} (\vec{n}) = p_1 (4 \left( |x+y| + |x-y| + |x+z| + |x-z| + |z+y| +|z-y|\right)) + p_2 (8 \left( |x| + |y| + |z|\right)) + p_3 (2 ( |x+ 2y + z| + |x+2y-z| + |x-2y + z| + |x-2y-z| + |2x+y+z| + |2x+y-z| +|2x-y+z| +|2x-y-z| +|x+y+2z| +|x+y-2z| +|x-y+2z| +|x-y-2z| ) + c

**Data used in fitting:**

This potential's parameters were fitted using the equilibrium, zero-temperature lattice constants of bcc and fcc iron ($$\alpha$$-Fe and $$\gamma$$-Fe, resp.), the cohesive energy of bcc iron, the unrelaxed monovacancy formation energy in bcc iron, the potential energy difference that exists between the equilibrium bcc and fcc Fe lattices, and the cubic elastic constants (C$$_{11}$$, C$$_{12}$$, C$$_{44}$$) of bcc Fe.  First-principles relaxed formation energies of <100>, <110>, and <111> dumbbell interstitials was also present in the training set, as well as an experimental value for the average density of liquid iron.  Finally, the radial distribution function (referred to as the pair correlation function (PCF) in the article cited below) determined from liquid Fe configurations which were generated using a simple pair potential (see text for more details) was used to determine its parameters.

For those interested in this potential, the source article listed at the top of this page (Mendelev, Han, Srolovitz, Ackland, Sun, and Asta. Phil. Mag 83, 2003) also includes a comparison with [EAM_Dynamo_AcklandBaconCalder_1997_Fe__MO_142799717516_005](https://openkim.org/cite/MO_142799717516_005).
