7.1. Cross: Bond-Bond¶
7.1.1. Functional Form¶
The Bond-Bond Cross Potential has the functional form:
\(E = {M} \left( {{R_{ij}} - {R_{1,ij}}} \right) \left( {{R_{jk}} - {R_{2,jk}}} \right)\)
This term is part of the Class2 Angle Potential style.
The force-field parameters for this potential and units are given by:
| Equation Symbol | Parameter Definition | Units |
| \(M\) | Cross potential bond coefficient for atoms [i,j,k] | energy |
| \(R_{1,ij}\) | Equilibrium bond length for atoms [i,j] | length |
| \(R_{2,jk}\) | Equilibrium bond length for atoms [j,k] | length |
7.1.2. XML Schema¶
The XML schema for the Bond-Bond Cross Potential has the following representation (design mode representation using Liquid XML Studio):
The relationship between the equation symbols and XML schema notations are given by:
| Parameter Definition | Equation Symbol | Schema Notation |
| Atom type of atom [i] | \(i\) | AT-1 |
| Atom type of atom [j] | \(j\) | AT-2 |
| Atom type of atom [k] | \(k\) | AT-3 |
| Bond coefficient for atoms [i,j,k] | \(M\) | M |
| Equilibrium bond length for atoms [i,j] | \(R_{1,ij}\) | R1 |
| Equilibrium bond length for atoms [j,k] | \(R_{2,jk}\) | R2 |
