An embeded-atom method ͑EAM͒ formulation that can reproduce identically the empirically determined second-order and third-order elastic moduli is employed in constructing the EAM models of 12 cubic metals ͑Ag, Al, Au, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, and Rb͒. The models yield phase stabilities, pressure-volume curves, and phonon-frequency spectra that are in generally good agreement with experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
