^ Potential name ^ Al-Mn-Pd ^
| Format | [[models:analytic|analytic]] |
| Interaction | [[interactions:eam]] |
| Elements | Al, Mn, Pd |
| Reference | [[http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.85.054201]] |
| Fitted for | Quasicrystal approximants |

=====  Details  =====

This potential has been fitted for approximants of the decagonal quasicrystal Al-Mn-Pd. It was especially
trained with the $\xi$ and $\xi'$ phases, but also the ground states of the single elements. 

This allows for very accurate calculations of the formation enthalpy of different phases. This potential has 
been used for structure optimization in http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.84.184203.
