Axilrod-Teller interaction: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:25, 5 August 2008

The Axilrod-Teller interaction for three-body interactions is given by (Ref. 1):

\Phi _{123}=C{\frac {3\cos(\gamma _{1})\cos(\gamma _{2})\cos(\gamma _{3})+1}{r_{12}^{3}r_{23}^{3}r_{31}^{3}}}

where $r_{ij}$ are the lengths of the sides and $\gamma _{i}$ are the angles of the triangle formed by the three atoms.
