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

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 Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n \rightarrow \infty} this potential becomes the penetrable sphere model.

Phase diagram
The phase diagram of the Gaussian-core model has been calculated by Prestipino et al.[3] while the solid-liquid phase equilibria has been calculated by Mausbach et al [4] using the GWTS algorithm.
