Abstract:
The hybrid form is a combination of the Rydberg potential and the London inverse-sixth-power energy.
It is accurate at all relevant distance scales and simple enough for use in all-atom simulations
of biomolecules. One may compute the parameters of the hybrid potential for the ground state of a pair of neutral atoms from
their internuclear separation, the depth and curvature
of their potential at its minimum, and from their van der Waals coefficient of dispersion C6.
