A new approach is developed to calculate the Lennard-Jones n–m potential energy parameters for metals whose structure are f.c.c., b.c.c., or h.c.p. using available experimental data. The potential parameters are fitted to the cohesive energy, zero point volume, and zero point compressibility. The results show improved consistency in comparison with previous work.
