Leonard-Jones equation

Bond stretching is most often described by a harmonic oscillator equation. It is sometimes described by a Morse potential. In rare cases, bond stretching will be described by a Leonard-Jones or quartic potential. Cubic equations have been used for describing bond stretching, but suffer from becoming completely repulsive once the bond has been stretched past a certain point. 

The GvdW theory has been applied also to mixtures of Leonard-Jones fluids [15,16], The extension to mixtures is straightforward with respect to the binding energy and interaction with an external field but not quite so straightforward with respect to the excluded volume effect. The GvdW(S) theory produces for a mixture of c components an equation of state of the form... 

A slightly different technique was used by Allen [536]. A large number of solvent molecules were allowed to move each according to a Langevin equation in a force field of all the other molecules (which interact by Leonard-Jones potentials). In this system, there are two reactants, AB and C, and the reaction is of the type... 

The integral in Equation 7.41 must be calculated by computer for a Leonard-Jones potential (Figure 7.9). This curve agrees remarkably well with experimentally mea-...

Fig. 10. Covalent and ionic potential curves for some NO-quencher pairs. Equation (26) was used to calculate the ionic curves, using the electron affinities of Table III. The covalent curves are Leonard-Jones potential of NO and the respective quencher, displaced by the electronic excitation energy of the appropriate Rydberg state. See text for further details.

Among the numerous equations proposed to represent the curve in Fig. 1, we single out two. In the classical Leonard-Jones (1924) potential... 

DSMC method to a hard-sphere fluid at finite densities. However, the ESMC method did not include attractive interactions between molecules, and therefore, the transport properties predicted by the ESMC method did not agree well with either the experimental data or the theoretical values. Recently, a generalized Enskog Monte Carlo method has been developed [11]. In the new method, a Leonard-Jones (L-J) potential between molecules is introduced, with a generalized collision model, into the Monte Carlo method, and the effects of finite density on the molecular collision rate and transport properties are considered so as to obtain an equation of state for a nonideal gas. The resulting transport properties agree better with the experimental data and theoretical values than do those obtained by any other existing method. 

Colloidal Particles with an interaction range >2.5 x A, where A is a characteristic length, equal to the average distance between particles. The CP-CP interactions can be simulated by a soft-sphere, energy-conserving potential with an attractive tail. The CP-CP forces conservative in nature and can be simulated by the two-body Leonard-Jones potential (see Equation (26.14)). 

Using the Leonard-Jones model (Equation 4.12), plot on the same graph the potential energy of interaction between (a) two Ar atoms and (b) two Xe atoms. If you knew nothing about these two gases, what could you conclude about the relative physical properties of Ar and Xe based on this plot ... 

In the original SAFT approach chains of Leonard-Jones (LJ) monomer segments were modelled using the equation of state for argon developed by Twu and co-workers, and later the expression proposed by Cotterman et al In these approaches, the radial distribution function in the chain and association terms is evaluated at the hard-sphere contact instead of at contact for the true monomer LJ fluid. An interesting comment on the impact of this approximation can be found in reference 30. 

The early applications of Hartree s independent-electron model were confined to atoms but, by 1930, Leonard-Jones, Mulliken, and Hund had shown that the model can be readily extended to molecules by allowing the V, (r) to delocalize over several atoms. This marked the birth of molecular orbital theory. It should be emphasized that equation (6) does not yield the exact kinetic energy (except in one-electron systems) because, in reality, the electrons do not move independently of one another. Their motions are correlated and, because they try to avoid one another, < t- Nonetheless, H28 turns out to be a surprisingly good approximation. 

The previous equations for determining the Leonard-Jones potential terms (ta, Ea, and Qd) are for apolar compounds only. For polar chemicals, the previously...
