EEMSinglePotential

class EEMSinglePotential(particleType, chi, J, a=PhysicalQuantity(0.0, Ang))

Constructor of the potential.

Parameters:
  • particleType (ParticleType or ParticleIdentifier) – Identifier of the particle type.

  • chi (PhysicalQuantity of type energy / charge) – Potential parameter.

  • J (PhysicalQuantity of type 1 / length) – Potential parameter.

  • a (PhysicalQuantity of type length) – Potential parameter.

static generateFromD4(particleType, Z, mCN, MaxCN=None)

Create an EEMSinglePotential based on Z and the modified coordination number mCN using the D4 parameters and formulae from J. Chem. Phys. 150, 154122 (2019); doi: 10.1063/1.5090222 where chi = EN - kappa*sqrt(mCN) for MaxCN = None and otherwise chi = EN - kappa*sqrt(log(1+exp(MaxCN))-log(1+exp(MaxCN-mCN))) according to Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2020, 22, 8499-8512; DOI: 10.1039/D0CP00502A

Parameters:
  • Z (integer) – Atomic number

  • mCN (real) – Modified coordination number
