Penetrable sphere model

The penetrable sphere model is given by :

$\Phi _{12}\left(r\right)=\left\{{\begin{array}{ccc}\epsilon &;&r<\sigma \\0&;&r\geq \sigma \end{array}}\right.$

Note: an earlier, different, penetrable sphere model was proposed, but is now known as the Widom-Rowlinson model. This model can be seen as the limiting case of the Gaussian overlap model where 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} . In the limit 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 \epsilon \rightarrow \infty} one has the hard sphere model.
