Tight-Binding parameters for Lead


Lead (Pb)
Atomic Number 82
Atomic Weight 207.19
Room Temperature Structure fcc (A1)
Experimental Lattice Constant 0.495 nm

The s and p tight-binding parameters for lead were fit to first-principles Augmented Plane Wave (LAPW) results. The low-lying d eigenstates were ignored in the band structure fit. The following ranges were used:

Structure Minimum Range Lattice Constant (Bohr) Maximum Range Lattice Constant (Bohr)
fcc (A1)  9.30   9.80 
bcc (A2)  7.30   7.70 
Reference Proceedings of the International Symposium on Novel Materials, Bhubaneswar, India, March 3-7, 1997

Use of the parameters outside of these ranges may result in unphysical behavior.
