<DIV>Dear USERS,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My question is still pending on how to find out epsilon and sigma to calculate LJ potential for two group of atoms.</DIV>
<DIV>If I have two atoms(A1 and A2) in a particle A, and two atoms(B1 and B2) in particle B. </DIV>
<DIV>I have already known the epsilon and sigma between atoms </DIV>
<DIV>A1 - B1 ( epsilon 1 sigma 1) </DIV>
<DIV>A1 - B2 ( epsilon 2 sigma 2)</DIV>
<DIV>A2 - B1 ( epsilon 3 sigma 3)</DIV>
<DIV>A2 - B2 ( epsilon 4 sigma 4)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then I need to find out epsilon and sigma between Particle A and Particle B</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Can I use the following way ?</DIV>
<DIV>Epsilon = square root of (epsilon 1^2 + epsilon 2^2 + epsilon 3^2 + epsilon 4^2 )</DIV>
<DIV>Sigma =sigma 1+ sigma 2+ sigma 3 + sigma 4</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for any advice on this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards</DIV>
