Tight-binding models and density-functional theory
Abstract
Semiempirical tight-binding models have been widely used but the details of their relationship to more fundamental theories have never been clear and so they have usually been treated as fitting and interpolation schemes rather than as quantitative calculational tools. In this paper, we show how simple tight-binding models can be understood as stationary approximations to self-consistent density-functional theory and give prescriptions for calculating all the required potentials and matrix elements. Some preliminary applications have given encouraging results.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
