Specifically, the pair style implements an improved version of the original CD-EAM formalism. The new version (a.k.a. one-site model; cdeamVersion==1) has been published in A. Stukowski, B. Sadigh, P. Erhart and A. Caro Efficient implementation of the concentration-dependent embedded atom method for molecular-dynamics and Monte-Carlo simulations Model. Simul. Mater. Sci. Eng., 2009, 075005 This new formulation is more efficient for MD and Monte-Carlo simulations and is the default. The original formulation (a.k.a. two-site model; cdeamVersion==2) is also implemented and has been published in A. Caro, D. A. Crowson and M. Caro Classical Many-Body Potential for Concentrated Alloys and the Inversion of Order in Iron-Chromium Alloys Phys. Rev. Lett., APS, 2005, 95, 075702
