Application of a new Tight-Binding method for transition metals: Manganese

Abstract

A new tight-binding total energy method, which has been shown to accurately predict ground state properties of transition and noble metals, is applied to Manganese, the element with the most complex ground state structure among the $d$ metals. We show that the tight-binding method correctly predicts the ground state structure of Mn, and offers some insight into the magnetic properties of this state.
