18. All the details of the tight-binding model will be given in a forthcoming paper. Actually, this model seems to be able to describe a wide variety of distortion situations in a semi-quantitative way (non-hydrostatic effects in silicon under pressure [19] and bromine metallization mechanism under pressure [20], for example).
