Overview

Excerpt from A Survey of Some Empirical and Semi-Empirical Interatomic and Intermolecular Potentials Usually, potentials of simple functional form are sought in order to facilitate the calculation of the various properties. The latter influence has sometimes led to the use of potential forms or of atomic models that are obviously incorrect, such as the rigid sphere atom model. Nevertheless, such incorrect potentials have often proved useful for indicating the sensitivity of different properties to the shape of the potential and for deriving approximations to various properties. Some approaches are strictly empirical, others employ some classical or quantum theory concepts. In the following sections, a number of recent papers are examined to indicate the variety of concepts employed and the suitability of the potential functions.
