Abstract:

A small group of researchers met recently to review the new and rapidly growing field of many-atom potential for solids. The workshop was held on September 25-27, 1991, iii Ann Arbor, MI. and was commissioned by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. Some classes of materials are being well treated by many-atom potentials, while others are just now being considered. Combinations of materials including more than one type of bond seem clearly beyond our present capabilities. The systematics of many-atom potential development are in their infancy, and progress appears to be rapid.
