Buckingham potential: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:02, 17 July 2008

The Buckingham potential is given by

\Phi _{12}(r)=A\exp \left(-Br\right)-{\frac {C}{r^{6}}}

where $\Phi _{12}(r)$ is the intermolecular pair potential, $r:=|\mathbf {r} _{1}-\mathbf {r} _{2}|$ , and $A$ , $B$ and $C$ are constants.
