Z1 and Z2 potentials

The Z potential is given by (Eq. 1 in )

$\Phi _{12}(r)=a{\frac {e^{\alpha r}}{r^{3}}}\cos(2k_{F}r)+b\left({\frac {\sigma }{r}}\right)^{n}+V_{0}$

Parameters

The following parameters are taken from Table I

	a	$\alpha$	$k_{F}$	b	$\sigma$	n	$r_{c}$	$V_{0}$
Z1	1.58	–0.22	4.120	4.2 $\times 10^{8}$	0.331	18.0	2.64909	0.04682632
Z2	1.04	0.33	4.139	4.2 $\times 10^{7}$	0.348	14.5	2.64488	0.13391543
