Editing Square well model

The '''square well model''' is given by <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1696904 A. Rotenberg "Monte Carlo Equation of State for Hard Spheres in an Attractive Square Well", Journal of Chemical Physics '''43''' pp. 1198-1201 (1965)]</ref>

:<math>
\Phi_{12}\left( r \right) = 
\left\{ \begin{array}{ccc}
\infty & ; & r < \sigma \\
- \epsilon & ; &\sigma \le r < \lambda \sigma \\
0         & ; & r \ge \lambda \sigma \end{array} \right.
</math>

where <math>\Phi_{12}(r)</math> is the [[intermolecular pair potential]], <math>\epsilon</math> is the well depth, <math>r</math> is the distance between site 1 and site 2  <math>r := |\mathbf{r}_1 - \mathbf{r}_2|</math>, &sigma; is the hard diameter
and &lambda; &gt; 1. For an infinitesimally narrow well one has the [[sticky hard sphere model]] proposed by Baxter.
