TLDR
Finnis-Sinclair potentials were developed for computer simulations in which van der Waals type interactions between well separated atomic clusters are as important as the description of metallic bonding at short range as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Finnis–Sinclair potentials are developed for computer simulations in which van der Waals type interactions between well separated atomic clusters are as important as the description of metallic bonding at short range. The potentials always favour f.c.c. and h.c.p. structures over the b.c.c. structure. They display convenient scaling properties for both length and energy, and a number of properties of the perfect crystal may be derived analytically.

Single Crystal Elastic Constants and Calculated Aggregate Properties. A Handbook

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present data on the elastic properties of single crystals collected from the literature through mid-1970 and the elastic property of isotropic aggregates which are calculated according to the schemes of Voigt and Reuss for all materials, and Hashin and Shtrikman for materials with cubic symmetry.

A simple empirical N-body potential for transition metals

TL;DR: In this article, a simple form of multi-ion interaction has been constructed for the purpose of atomistic simulation of transition metals, which can account for experimental vacancy-formation energies and does not require an externally applied pressure to balance the Cauchy pressure.
