摘要: Abstract A transferable tight-binding parametrization of the Ni–Si interactions, from small binary Ni m Si n clusters to bulk NiSi 2 , is presented within a minimal parameter basis. The data base for fitting parameters obtained (i) ab initio results dimer using density functional method and single, double triple coupled method, (ii) band structure . incorporated into molecular dynamics scheme study medium size clusters. Our are in very good agreement with experiment.
