Square shoulder model

The square shoulder model is given by ^[1]

Φ_{12} (r) = {\begin{matrix} \infty & ; & r < σ \\ ϵ & ; & σ \leq r < λ σ \\ 0 & ; & r \geq λ σ \end{matrix}

where $Φ_{12} (r)$ is the intermolecular pair potential, $ϵ$ is the height of the shoulder, $r$ is the distance between site 1 and site 2 $r : = | r_{1} - r_{2} |$ , σ is the hard diameter and λ > 1.
