Description
| Abstract: | The second order pseudopotential theory is applied to the calculation of stacking fault energies for the noble metals and their alloy systems with tin and zinc. The theory fails to simulate the known experimental values and the failure is linked to the failure of the characteristic shape function, which is inherent to the calculations. |
