Tight-Binding parameters for Technetium


Technetium (Tc)
Atomic Number 43
Atomic Weight 98.91
Room Temperature Structure hcp (A3)
Room Temperature Lattice Constant a 0.274 nm
Room Temperature Lattice Constant c 0.440 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)  7.10   7.50 
bcc (A2)  5.60   6.00 
Reference Phys. Rev. B 54, 4519-30 (1996)

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