A reference-free MEAM potential for α-Fe and γ-Fe

A reference-free modified embedded atom method (RF-MEAM) potential for iron has been constructed. The new potential is made to predict both bcc and fcc (α-Fe and γ-Fe) lattice properties, with a special interest in modelling in the 800-1300 K temperature range. This is the range in which transformations and key processes in steel occur. RF...
