The 200-100 Lennard-Jones potential [1] is a variant the more well known Lennard-Jones model . It has been used to study colloids.

\[ \Phi_{12}(r) = 4 \epsilon \left[ \left(\frac{\sigma}{r} \right)^{200}- \left( \frac{\sigma}{r}\right)^{100} \right] \]

where

  • \(r := |\mathbf{r}_1 - \mathbf{r}_2|\)
  • \( \Phi_{12}(r) \) is the intermolecular pair potential between two particles or sites
  • \( \sigma \) is the diameter (length), i.e. the value of \(r\) at which \( \Phi_{12}(r)=0\)
  • \( \epsilon \) is the well depth (energy)
