The Gaussian overlap model was developed by Bruce J. Berne and Philip Pechukas [1]and is given by Eq. 3 in the aforementioned reference:

\[\Phi_{12}(\mathbf{u}_1,\mathbf{u}_2,\mathbf{r}) = \epsilon(\mathbf{u}_1,\mathbf{u}_2) \exp \left[ \frac{-r}{\sigma (\mathbf{u}_1,\mathbf{u}_2, \hat{\mathbf{r}}) } \right]^n\]

where \(n=2\), \(\Phi_{12}(r)\) is the intermolecular pair potential, \( \epsilon(\mathbf{u}_1,\mathbf{u}_2) \) and \(\sigma (\mathbf{u}_1,\mathbf{u}_2, \hat{\mathbf{r}})\) are angle dependent strength and range parameters, and \(\hat{\mathbf{r}}\) is a unit vector. Not long after the introduction of the Gaussian overlap model Stillinger [2] proposed a stripped-down version of the model, known as the Gaussian core model. Note that as \(n \rightarrow \infty\) this potential becomes the penetrable sphere model.

The phase diagram of the Gaussian-core model has been calculated by Prestipino et al.[5] while the solid-liquid phase equilibria has been calculated by Mausbach et al [6] using the GWTS algorithm.
