Fermi-Jagla model

The Fermi-Jagla model is a smooth variant of the Jagla model. It is given by (Eq. 1 in ):

Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle \Phi _{12}(r)=\epsilon _{0}\left[\left({\frac {a}{r}}\right)^{n}+{\frac {A_{0}}{1+\exp \left[{\frac {A_{1}}{A_{0}}}({\frac {r}{a}}-A_{2})\right]}}-{\frac {B_{0}}{1+\exp \left[{\frac {B_{1}}{B_{0}}}({\frac {r}{a}}-B_{2})\right]}}\right]}

There is a relation between the Fermi function and hyperbolic tangent:

${\frac {1}{e^{x}+1}}={\frac {1}{2}}-{\frac {1}{2}}\tanh {\frac {x}{2}}$

Using this relation one can show that Fermi-Jagla model is equivalent to the generalised Fomin potential (which has scientific priority).
