This force field is simply a collection of Square Well parameters that Vega <i>et al.</i> used in a vapor-liquid coexistence curve study. Suitable bonded parameters for this force field have also been added into this implementation. </ul> <b>References for Vega 1992</b> <ul> <li><a href="../references.html#vega_et_al_1992">Vega <i>et al.</i> 1992</a></li> </ul> <b>Vega 1992 in Towhee</b> <ul> The official force field name for Vega <i>et al.</i> 1992 in Towhee is 'Vega1992'. Here is a list of all Vega1992 atom names currently in use for the towhee_input file, along with a brief description (although the meaning of the atom names should be obvious). Please note that the capitalization and spacing pattern is important and must be followed exactly as listed here. <ul> <li><b>'lam_1.25'</b> : sigma [nbcoeff(1)] is 1.0, lamda [nbcoeff(2)] is 1.25, and the well depth [nbcoeff(3)] is 1.0.</li> <li><b>'lam_1.375'</b> : sigma [nbcoeff(1)] is 1.0, lamda [nbcoeff(2)] is 1.375, and the well depth [nbcoeff(3)] is 1.0.</li> <li><b>'lam_1.5'</b> : sigma [nbcoeff(1)] is 1.0, lamda [nbcoeff(2)] is 1.5, and the well depth [nbcoeff(3)] is 1.0.</li> <li><b>'lam_1.75'</b> : sigma [nbcoeff(1)] is 1.0, lamda [nbcoeff(2)] is 1.75, and the well depth [nbcoeff(3)] is 1.0.</li> <li><b>'lam_2.0'</b> : sigma [nbcoeff(1)] is 1.0, lamda [nbcoeff(2)] is 2.0, and the well depth [nbcoeff(3)] is 1.0.</li> </ul> </ul> <b>Coulombic interactions</b> <ul> It is possible to combine the square well potential with point charges. Simply assign the point charges to the atoms as you see fit. </ul> <a href="../towhee_capabilities.html">Return to the Towhee Capabilities web page</a> <p> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <hr width="715" align="left"> <i><font size="2">Send comments to:</font></i> <font size="2"> <a href="mailto:marcus_martin@users.sourceforge.net">Marcus G.
