static is a code which evaluates the total energy, and optionally the electronic structure, of a crystal or cluster, using a parametrized Slater-Koster method. A database of Tight-Binding Parameters is available for use with static, or the code may be modified to use an alternative parametrization scheme. Both serial and parallel machines (running MPI) can use the same source code.

static is not designed to do molecular dynamics. For tight-binding molecular dynamics of metals, see the TBMD Home Page.

static was developed as part of the DoD-Parallel Tight-Binding Molecular Dynamics program of the Common HPC Software Support Initiative (CHSSI), under the Computational Chemistry and Materials Science (CCM) Computational Technology Area (CTA).

Descriptions of the theory and accuracy of the tight-binding parameters used by static are given in the references of the Tight-Binding Parameters Database.
