On the Choice of a Maximal Cluster in the Cluster Variational Method
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 1992
Abstract
An explanation of the occurrence of unphysical solutions in the cluster variational method is given. A simple algorithm for the construction of an optimal maximal cluster, i.e., a cluster that guarantees correct results for any set of interatomic interactions, is suggested. Examples of optimal maximal clusters for various two- and three-dimensional lattices are presented.
