Quasiharmonic free energy and derivatives for many-body interactions: The embedded atom method

We present a method using many-body potentials and lattice statics and quasiharmonic lattice dynamics for the calculation of the free energy of periodic crystals and its analytic derivatives with respect to all external and internal degrees of freedom. Derivatives are calculated by means of first-or...
