MaterialsMaterials belonging to the natural crystalline forms in fcc, bcc, dia, hcp structures. I have developed nine different potential functions, each function has been parameterized for several elements as the following list: (I): Cu, Ag, Au, La, Lu, U; (II): W, Xe, Ni; (III): Ni; (IV): Ag, Al, Au, Cu, Ni, Fe, Li, C, Ge, Si, Cs, K, Na, Ca, Pb, Pd, Pt, Cd, Mg, Sc, Ti, Zn; (V): Ag, Al, Au, Cu, Ni, Pb, Pd, Pt, C, Si, Ge, Li, Na, K, Cs, Fe, V, Cr, Nb, As, Sb, Bi; (VI): Au, Ag, Cu; (VII): Cu; (VIII): Kr, Xe, Al, Cu, Pb, Pd; (IX): O,Li. BibliographyMy bibliography may be found in my web page. However, the details of the potentials may be found in the following two reviews: S. Erkoc, Physics Report 278, 79-105(1997). S.
