A much simpler interpolation scheme for approximating the electronic band structure, especially for the d-bands of transition metals, is the parameterized tight-binding method conceived in 1954 by John Clarke Slater and George Fred Koster, [1] sometimes referred to as the SK tight-binding method. With the SK tight-binding method, electronic ...
The Density Functional Based Tight Binding method is an approximation to density functional theory, which reduces the Kohn-Sham equations to a form of tight binding related to the Harris functional. The original [ 1 ] approximation limits interactions to a non-self-consistent two center hamiltonian between confined atomic states.

The energy is a function of a sum of functions of the separation between an atom and its neighbors. In the original model, by Murray Daw and Mike Baskes, [1] the latter functions represent the electron density. The EAM is related to the second moment approximation to tight binding theory, also known as the
When the interaction between electrons is strong, the behavior of the Hubbard model can be qualitatively different from a tight-binding model. For example, the Hubbard model correctly predicts the existence of Mott insulators: materials that are insulating due to the strong repulsion between electrons, even though they satisfy the usual ...

Many density-functional tight-binding methods, such as CP2K, DFTB+, Fireball, [2] and Hotbit, are built based on the Harris energy functional. In these methods, one often does not perform self-consistent Kohn–Sham DFT calculations and the total energy is estimated using the Harris energy functional, although a version of the Harris functional ...
