Family of tunable spherically symmetric potentials that span the range from hard spheres to waterlike behavior
Family of tunable spherically symmetric potentials that span the range from hard spheres to waterlike behavior
We investigate the equation of state, diffusion coefficient, and structural order of a family of spherically symmetric potentials consisting of a hard core and a linear repulsive ramp. This generic potential has two characteristic length scales: the hard and soft core diameters. The family of potentials is generated by varying …
