On recent developments on the embedded atom method

Abstract

A recent modification to the embedding function F(ρ) for bcc Lithium by Yuan et al [10] is here generalised and then characterised by a second order linear differential equation. The structure of the generalised function, unlike the embedding functions used hitherto, is sufficiently rich to allow for a Cauchy discrepancy (C₁₂ – C₄₄) that may be either positive or negativ
