Also I just replied a week ago to a mail where a user wanted to set C6 to zero while supplying sigma and epsilon, you can do that by putting a minus sign in front of the sigma. Another option is using tabulated potentials (user), then you can use anything, except for completely hard spheres, which would lead to infinite forces.
