Effective Medium Theory (EMT) model based on the EMT implementation in
ASAP (https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/asap).  This model uses the
EMT_Asap__MD_128315414717 model driver.

Effective Medium Theory is a many-body potential of the same class as Embedded
Atom Method, Finnis-Sinclair etc.  The main term in the energy per atom is the
local density of atoms.

The functional form implemented here is that of Ref. 1.  The principles behind
EMT are described in Refs. 2 and 3 (with 2 being the more detailed and 3 being
the most pedagogical).  Be aware that the functional form and even some of the
principles have changed since refs 2 and 3.  EMT can be considered the last
step of a series of approximations starting with Density Functional Theory,
see Ref 4.

This model implements a special parametrization optimized for CuMg [5]
bulk metallic glasses only!  It probably gives reasonable results for
other CuMg compounds.

These files are based on Asap version 3.11.5.
