All of the Towhee atom types for this force field are listed, along with a short description of their meanings. This force field was intended for lead and copper. Any discrepencies (especially typos) from the published values are the sole responsibility of Marcus G. Martin, and I welcome feedback on how this implementation compares with other programs. <p> </p> </ul> <b>References for Hoyt <i>et al.</i> Pb and Cu</b> <ul> <li><a href="../references.html#hoyt_et_al_2003">Hoyt <i>et al.</i> 2003</a></li> <li><a href="../references.html#foiles_et_al_1986">Foiles <i>et al.</i> 1986</a> (original source for Cu)</li> <li><a href="../references.html#lim_et_al_1992">Lim <i>et al.</i> 1992</a> (original source for Pb)</li> </ul> <b>Hoyt <i>et al.</i> in Towhee</b> <ul> The official force field name for these parameters is 'Hoyt2003'.
