Analytic bond-order potentials for multicomponent systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Classical interatomic bond-order potentials (BOPs) have previously been obtained by coarse-graining the quantum-mechanical electronic structure within the chemically intuitive reduced tight-binding (TB) framework. This paper generalizes the reduced tight-binding approximation to the case of multicomponent sp-valent systems, thereby allowing a rigorous derivation of expressions for the and bond orders within chemically heterogeneous situations. The close link between the different bond-order potential parameters and different physical properties is illustrated for the particular choice of Goodwin–Skinner–Pettifor (GSP) radial dependences for the repulsive pair potential and two-centre bond integrals. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Bounded Analytic Bond-Order Potentials for s and p Bonds
Novel analytic bond-order potentials (BOP’s) are derived for the s and p bonds of sp-valent systems that are correctly bounded from above by unity. We show that these BOP’s allow the concept of single, double, triple, and conjugate bonds in carbon systems to be quantified, the average error compared to accurate tight-binding predictions being only 1% for the s bonds and 15% for the p bonds. Alt...
متن کاملInteratomic bond-order potentials and structural prediction
Interatomic bond-order potentials (BOPs) have recently been derived for covalently bonded systems whose electronic structure is well described by the tight-binding (TB) approximation. This paper introduces the key ideas behind this novel class of interatomic potentials through a case study of the factors controlling the relative structural stability of s-valent four-atom clusters with respect t...
متن کاملAnalytic bond-order potentials beyond Tersoff-Brenner. I. Theory
Analytic bond-order potentials ~BOP’s! are derived for the s and p bond orders by approximating the many-atom expansion for the bond order within the two-center, orthogonal tight-binding ~TB! model. The analytic expression, BOP4, is obtained by retaining terms to four levels in the continued fractions for the appropriate Green’s functions and describes the s bonds in the dimer C2 , the tetrahed...
متن کاملAnalytic bond-order potentials beyond Tersoff-Brenner. II. Application to the hydrocarbons
The accuracy of the analytic bond-order potentials ~BOP’s! that were derived in the previous paper within the tight-binding ~TB! formalism is studied for the case of diamond, graphite, and the hydrocarbon molecules. The simplified four-level variant, BOP4S, is found to reproduce the TB bond orders of the C-H and C-C s bonds to better than 6% due partly to the inclusion of the shape parameter (b...
