Hi, with "interaction diameter" I mean the following:
I have two spheres with a radii of 2.5 angstrom. The spheres should not overlap. >From that, I derive my 'interaction diameter'/'interaction distance' 5 angstrom. Now, the 5 angstroms should be the \sigma in the following formulas > c^6 = 4 \epsilon \sigma^6 > c^12 = 4 \epsilon \sigma^12 Is it so?
