A simple form of multi-ion interaction has been constructed for the purpose of atomistic simulation of transition metals. The model energy consists of a bonding term, which is the square-root of a site density &b.rho;<i>i</i>, summed over atoms <i>i</i>, and a repulsive pairwise term of the form The site density &b.rho;<i>i</i> is defined as sum over neighbouring sites <i>j</i> of a cohesive potential &b.phis;(<i>R</i><sub>ij</sub>). Both <i>V</i> and &b.phis; are assumed to be short-ranged and are parameterized to fit the lattice constant, cohesive energy and elastic moduli of the seven body-centred-cubic (b.c.c.) transition metals. The result is a simple model which, unlike a pair-potential model, can account for experimental vacancy-formation energies and does not require an externally applied pressure to balance the Cauchy pressure.
