Abstract

We present microscopic calculations of the cohesive energy of amorphous metallic alloys. Our method is based on a tight-binding and Monte Carlo simulation approaches to calculate the equilibrium atomic structure. The same model tight-binding Hamiltonian is then used to calculate electronic structure and energy using a Bethe-Cluster approximation.
