Empirical many-body potential energy functions (EMBPEFs) are extensively used in atomistic computer simulations, especially in molecular dynamics and Monte-Carlo methods. There are several EMBPEFs used in the literature for different purposes, some of these functions are suitable for bulk and surface properties, and some of them are suitable for cluster properties. In this article the EMBPEFs used in the computer simulation applications for condensed matter properties will be reviewed.
