<ul>
This section covers the Vink <i>et al.</i> silicon parameters as they are implemented into the towhee_ff_Vink2001
file in the ForceFields directory. 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 solid silicon.
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.

<b>Vink <i>et al.</i> in Towhee</b>
<ul>
The official force field name for Vink <i>et al.</i> silicon parameters is 'Vink2001'. Here I list the
atom names for use in 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>'Si'</b> : silicon</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<b>Coulombic interactions</b>
<ul>
There are generally no coulombic interactions for this potential.
</ul>
<b>Improper torsions</b>
<ul>
This force field does not have improper torsions.
</ul>
<b>Proteins</b>
<ul>
This force field does not have parameters for proteins.
