Approximate non-conformal potential

The Approximate non-conformal potential is given by (Eq 2.16 in ):

$\Phi _{12}(z)=\epsilon \left[{\frac {1-a}{(z^{3}/S+1-1/S)^{1/3}-a}}\right]^{12}-2\epsilon \left[{\frac {1-a}{(z^{3}/S+1-1/S)^{1/3}-a}}\right]^{6}$

where

• $z:=r/r_{m}$
• $a$ is the hard-core diameter in units of $r_{m}$
• $\epsilon$ is the well depth
• $S$ is a softness parameter

Second virial coefficient

The second virial coefficient is given in .
