Calculation update! The crystal structure tables have been updated as they now use the current Materials Project (mp-) reference structures, and calculations that previously threw errors were re-ran after a minor bug fix.
Warning! Note that elemental potentials taken from alloy descriptions may not work well for the pure species. This is particularly true if the elements were fit for compounds instead of being optimized separately. As with all interatomic potentials, please check to make sure that the performance is adequate for your problem.

Abstract: Interatomic potentials for the Mg-Nd and Mg-Pb binary systems have been developed within the framework of the second nearest-neighbor modified embedded-atom method (2NN MEAM) formalism. The potentials describe a wide range of fundamental materials properties (thermodynamic, structural and elastic properties of compound and solution phases) of relevant systems in reasonable agreement with experimental data or first-principles and CALPHAD calculations. The applicability of the developed potentials to atomistic simulations on deformation behavior in Mg and its alloys is demonstrated by showing that the potentials reproduce related material properties reasonably and are transferable sufficiently.
