POTENTIAL EXPRESSIONS
- Rare gases and code development:
Lennard-Jones pair potential
- Semiconductors, Hydrocarbons: Stillinger-Weber potential
- Semiconductors, Hydrocarbons: Tersoff potential
the B term is a function of a G term which is environmentally dependent
- Semiconductors, Hydrocarbons with surfaces:
Brenner potential - Tersoff potential with corrections
- Metals: Glue/embedded atom/Finnis-Sinclair potentials
