Abstract

Modelling in a realistic way both equilibrium and dynamical processes on bimetallic surfaces requires the availability of interatomic potentials sufficiently simple (i.e. analytical) although derived from the electronic structure. This is possible in the framework of Tight-Binding formalism. We present here a review of the applications of such potentials, together with some reflexions about their limitations.
