Tight-Binding parameters for the Elements

Applications of a new tight-binding total energy method for transition and noble metals: Elastic constants, vacancies, and surfaces of monatomic metals [Phys. Rev. B 54, 4519-30 (1996)], by Michael J. Mehl and Dimitrios A. Papaconstantopoulos and other papers demonstrate a method for obtaining tight-binding parameters which accurately reproduce the equations of state, elastic constants, vacancy formation energies, phonon frequencies, and surface energies for the elements highlighted in this periodic table. Check our parametrization notes and references for information on how to use these parameters.

Doing calculations of crystalline total energies with our tight-binding parameters? Pre-defined K-point meshes for several common lattices are now available.
