The coexistence pressures of liquids modeled by this form exhibit a so- called soft sphere asymptote, but are discontinuous at low temperatures, a problem that can be fixed by leveling this function off after its minimum.
The coexistence pressures of liquids modeled by this form exhibit a so- called soft sphere asymptote, but are discontinuous at low temperatures, a problem that can be fixed by leveling this function off after its minimum. This function can be modified to account for dipole-dipole interactions through the addition of an anisotropic coefficient over distance cubed. The aforementioned modifications were respectively developed by (*) Weeks, Chandler and Andersen and Stockmayer to extend the applicability of this potential. This potential contains parameters called the well depth and effective diameter. It respectively models long-range van der Waals attractions and short-range Pauli forces using its distance to the minus six and distance to the minus twelve terms. For 10 points, name this mathematical model of the interaction energy between a pair of neutral molecules, a model named after just one physicist with a compound last name.
