Interatomic potentials for Metal-Si/Ge/C/SiC systems

We have combined the EAM and the SW and the TF potentials in one functional form. This functional form allows the modeling of metals, covalent systems, and mixed systems (M-Si,Ge,C,SiC) very efficiently allowing the study of large systems. The combined potential retains the properties of the original EAM, SW and TF potentials for the pure elements thus limiting the fitting only for the cross interactions. The potential iscalled as the "Angular-dependent Embedded Atom Method".
