Tight-Binding parameters for Platinum


Platinum (Pt)
Atomic Number 78
Atomic Weight 195.09
Room Temperature Structure fcc (A1)
Room Temperature Lattice Constant 0.392 nm

The tight-binding parameters were fit to first-principles Augmented Plane Wave (APW) results over the following ranges:

Structure Minimum Lattice Constant (Bohr) Maximum Lattice Constant (Bohr)
fcc (A1)  7.20   7.70 
bcc (A2)  5.70   6.10 
Reference Phys. Rev. B 54, 4519-30 (1996)

Use of the parameters outside of these ranges may result in unphysical behavior.
