How to calculate the alpha(I,J) in MEAM potential?

Dear All

The LAMMPS manual introduces that alpha parameter for pair potential between I and J (can be computed from bulk modulus of reference structure)?

Could anyone share me the formula or a paper about the formula?

Kind regards,
Yanyan

Papers describing the MEAM potential and the specific implementation in LAMMPS are cited at the bottom of the documentation page for the meam pair style in the LAMMPS manual.
