Abstract

A theory combining electrostatic forces and one-electron molecular orbital energies is used to determine the bulk lattice and nearest neighbor stretching force constants for α-Fe using 9- and 15-atom models. While 13-atom clusters do not produce bulk bond lenghts for bcc, Ni and Cu, 9-atom bcc clusters produce close estimates.
