Interatomic Potential and Structural Stability Proceedings of the 15th Taniguchi Symposium, Kashikojima, Japan, October 19–23, 1992

Structural stability is of fundamental importance in materials science. Up-to-date information on the theoretical aspects of phase stability of materials is contained in this volume. Most of the first-principles calculations are based on the local-density approximation (LDA). In contrast, this volum...
