The tight-binding parameters were fit to first-principles Augmented Plane Wave (APW) results over the following ranges:
| Structure | Minimum Range Lattice Constant (Bohr) | Maximum Range Lattice Constant (Bohr) |
| fcc (A1) | 6.80 | 7.40 |
| bcc (A2) | 5.50 | 5.90 |
| Reference | Phys. Rev. B 54, 4519-30 (1996) | |
Use of the parameters outside of these ranges may result in unphysical behavior.
