Approximate non-conformal potential page on SklogWiki - a wiki for statistical mechanics and thermodynamics

The Approximate non-conformal potential (ANC) is given by (Eq 2.16 in ^[1]):

\Phi _{12}(z)=\epsilon \left[{\frac {1-a}{(z^{3}/S+1-1/S)^{1/3}-a}}\right]^{12}-2\epsilon \left[{\frac {1-a}{(z^{3}/S+1-1/S)^{1/3}-a}}\right]^{6}

where

$z:=r/r_{m}$
$a$ is the hard-core diameter in units of $r_{m}$
