&lt;div&gt;The &#039;&#039;&#039;Lennard-Jones&#039;&#039;&#039; [[intermolecular pair potential]] is a special case of the [[Mie potential]] and takes its name from  [[ Sir John Edward Lennard-Jones KBE, FRS | Sir John Edward Lennard-Jones]] &lt;br /&gt;

the Lennard-Jones potential frequently forms one of &#039;building blocks&#039; of many [[force fields]] and molecular-based equation of state models &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Stephan&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fluid.2020.112772  Simon Stephan, Jens Staubach, Hans Hasse &amp;quot;Review and comparison of equations of state for the Lennard-Jones fluid&amp;quot;, Fluid Phase Equilibria &#039;&#039;&#039;523&#039;&#039;&#039; pp. 112772 (2020)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. It is worth mentioning that the 12-6 Lennard-Jones model is not the &lt;br /&gt;
most faithful representation of the potential energy surface, but rather its use is widespread due to its computational expediency.&lt;br /&gt;
For example, the repulsive term is maybe better described with the [[exp-6 potential]].&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \Phi_{12}(r) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the [[intermolecular pair potential]] between two particles or &#039;&#039;sites&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sigma &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;r&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at which &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \Phi_{12}(r)=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \epsilon &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the well depth (energy)&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;A= 4\epsilon \sigma^{12}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;B= 4\epsilon \sigma^{6}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{r_{min}}{\sigma} = 2^{1/6} \simeq   1.12246 ...  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In reduced units: &lt;br /&gt;

* Temperature: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T^* := k_B T/\epsilon &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  is the absolute [[temperature]] and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k_B &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the [[Boltzmann constant]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Perturbation theory==&lt;br /&gt;
The Lennard-Jones model is also used in [[Perturbation theory |perturbation theories]], for example see: [[Weeks-Chandler-Andersen perturbation theory]].&lt;br /&gt;
== Approximations in simulation: truncation and shifting ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Lennard-Jones model is often used with a cutoff radius of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;2.5 \sigma&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, beyond which &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \Phi_{12}(r)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is set to zero. Setting the well depth &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \epsilon &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; to be 1 in the potential on arrives at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \Phi_{12}(r)\simeq  -0.0163&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, i.e. at this distance the potential is at less than 2% of the well depth. For an analysis of the effect of this cutoff on the melting line see the work of Mastny and  de Pablo  &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Mastny&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and of Ahmed and Sadus &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3481102  Alauddin Ahmed  and Richard J.

See Pártay for the ground state structure &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C7CP02923C Lívia B. Pártay,  Christoph Ortner,  Albert P. Bartók,  Chris J. Pickard  and  Gábor Csányi &amp;quot;Polytypism in the ground state structure of the Lennard-Jonesium&amp;quot;, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics &#039;&#039;&#039;19&#039;&#039;&#039; 19369 (2017)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. It has recently been suggested that a truncated and shifted force cutoff of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;1.5 \sigma&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; can be used under certain conditions &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3558787 Søren Toxvaerd and Jeppe C. Dyre &amp;quot;Communication: Shifted forces in molecular dynamics&amp;quot;, Journal of Chemical Physics &#039;&#039;&#039;134&#039;&#039;&#039; 081102 (2011)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. In order to avoid any discontinuity, a piecewise continuous version, known as the  [[modified Lennard-Jones model]], was developed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cutoff Lennard-Jones potential==&lt;br /&gt;
The cutoff Lennard-Jones potential is given by (Eq. 2 in &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.8.1504  Spotswood D. Stoddard and Joseph Ford &amp;quot;Numerical Experiments on the Stochastic Behavior of a Lennard-Jones Gas System&amp;quot;, Physical Review A &#039;&#039;&#039;8&#039;&#039;&#039; pp. 1504-1512 (1973)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \Phi_{12}(r) = 4 \epsilon \left\{ \left[ \left(\frac{\sigma}{r} \right)^{12}-  \left( \frac{\sigma}{r}\right)^6 \right]+ \left[ 6\left(\frac{\sigma}{r_c} \right)^{12}-  3\left( \frac{\sigma}{r_c}\right)^6 \right] \left(\frac{r}{r_c} \right)^2   -7 \left(\frac{\sigma}{r_c} \right)^{12} + 4 \left(\frac{\sigma}{r_c} \right)^{6}   \right\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;r_c&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the cutoff radius.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== n-m Lennard-Jones potential ==&lt;br /&gt;
It is relatively common to encounter potential functions given by:&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \Phi_{12}(r) = c_{n,m} \epsilon   \left[ \left( \frac{ \sigma }{r } \right)^n - \left( \frac{\sigma}{r} \right)^m &lt;br /&gt;
\right].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; being positive integers and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n &amp;gt; m &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; c_{n,m} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  is chosen such that the minimum value of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \Phi_{12}(r) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; being &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \Phi_{min} = - \epsilon &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Such forms are usually referred to as &#039;&#039;&#039;n-m Lennard-Jones Potential&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
For example, the [[9-3 Lennard-Jones potential |9-3 Lennard-Jones interaction potential]] is often used to model the interaction between&lt;br /&gt;
a continuous solid wall and the atoms/molecules of a liquid.&lt;br /&gt;
On the &#039;9-3 Lennard-Jones potential&#039; page  a justification of this use is presented. Another example is the [[n-6 Lennard-Jones potential]],&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is fixed at 6, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is free to adopt a range of integer values.&lt;br /&gt;
The potentials form part of the larger class of potentials known as the [[Mie potential]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The &#039;&#039;&#039;ramp model&#039;&#039;&#039;, proposed by Jagla &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.480241 E. A. Jagla &amp;quot;Core-softened potentials and the anomalous properties of water&amp;quot;, Journal of Chemical Physics&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;111&#039;&#039;&#039; pp. 8980-8986  (1999)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
and sometimes known as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Jagla model&#039;&#039;&#039;, is described by:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\Phi_{12}(r) = \left\{ &lt;br /&gt;
\begin{array}{ll}&lt;br /&gt;
\infty &amp;amp; {\rm if} \; r &amp;lt; \sigma \\&lt;br /&gt;
W_r - (W_r-W_a) \frac{r-\sigma}{d_a-\sigma} &amp;amp; {\rm if} \; \sigma \leq r \leq d_a \\&lt;br /&gt;
W_a - W_a \frac{r-d_a}{d_c-d_a} &amp;amp;  {\rm if} \; d_a &amp;lt; r \leq d_c \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp;  {\rm if} \; r &amp;gt; d_c&lt;br /&gt;
\end{array} \right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\Phi_{12}(r)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the [[intermolecular pair potential]], &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;r := |\mathbf{r}_1 - \mathbf{r}_2|&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W_r &amp;gt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W_a &amp;lt; 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Graphically, one has:&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Ramp_potential.png|350px|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
where the red line represents an attractive implementation of the model, and the green line  a repulsive implementation.&lt;br /&gt;
==Critical points==&lt;br /&gt;
For the particular case &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; W_r^*=3.5; W_a^*=-1.0, d_a^*=1.72, d_c^*=3.0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;,&lt;br /&gt;
the liquid-vapour critical point   is located at&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;lomba&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2748043  E. Lomba, N. G. Almarza, C. Martin, C. McBride &amp;quot;Phase behaviour of attractive and repulsive ramp fluids: integral equation and computer simulation studies&amp;quot;, Journal of Chemical Physics &#039;&#039;&#039;126&#039;&#039;&#039; 244510 (2007)]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T_c^* = 1.487 \pm 0.003&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\rho_c \sigma^3 = 0.103 \pm 0.001&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;p_c^* \simeq 0.042&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and the [[Polyamorphic systems |liquid-liquid]] critical point:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T_c^* \simeq 0.378 \pm 0.003&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\rho_c \sigma^3  \simeq 0.380 \pm 0.002&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;p_c^*/T_c^* \simeq 0.49 \pm 0.01&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While this liquid-liquid critical point was long held to be in the stable region of the phase diagram, a high density double-network structure was found to be thermodynamically more stable than the high-density liquid under any conditions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;paraty&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.127.015701  A. P. Bartók, G. Hantal, L. B. Pártay &amp;quot;Insight into Liquid Polymorphism from the Complex Phase Behavior of a Simple Model&amp;quot;, Physical Review Letters &#039;&#039;&#039;127&#039;&#039;&#039; 015701 (2021)]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Repulsive Ramp Model ==&lt;br /&gt;
In the repulsive ramp case, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; W_a = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, neither liquid-vapor nor liquid-liquid stable equilibria occur&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;lomba&amp;quot;&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
However, for this model a low density crystalline phase has been found.&lt;br /&gt;
This solid phase presents re-entrant melting, i.e. this solid melts into the fluid phase as the pressure is increased.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Lattice gas version  ====&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, similar  behaviour has been found in a three-dimensional Repulsive&lt;br /&gt;
Ramp [[lattice gas|Lattice Gas]] model &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00268970902729269  Johan Skule Hoye,   Enrique Lomba, and  Noe Garcia Almarza, &amp;quot;One- and three-dimensional lattice models with two repulsive ranges: simple systems with complex phase behaviour&amp;quot;,  Molecular Physics &#039;&#039;&#039;107&#039;&#039;&#039;, 321-330 (2009)]&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The system is defined on a simple cubic lattice. The interaction is that of a [[lattice hard spheres|lattice&lt;br /&gt;
hard sphere]] model with exclusion of nearest neighbours of occupied positions plus a repulsive interaction&lt;br /&gt;
with next-to-nearest neighbours.&lt;br /&gt;
The total potential energy of the system is then given by:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
U = \epsilon \sum_{[ij]} S_i S_j&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \epsilon &amp;gt; 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ; &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; [ij] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; refers to all the pairs of sites that are&lt;br /&gt;
second neighbors, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; S_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; indicates the occupation of site &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
(0 indicates an empty site, 1 indicates an occupied site).&lt;br /&gt;

:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;p_c^* \simeq 0.042&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and the [[Polyamorphic systems |liquid-liquid]] critical point:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
While this liquid-liquid critical point was long held to be in the stable region of the phase diagram, a high density double-network structure was found to be thermodynamically more stable than the high-density liquid under any conditions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;paraty&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Repulsive Ramp Model ==&lt;br /&gt;
In the repulsive ramp case, where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; W_a = 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, neither liquid-vapor nor liquid-liquid stable equilibria occur&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;lomba&amp;quot;&amp;gt; reference to Lomba paper&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
However, for this model a low density crystalline phase has been found.&lt;br /&gt;
This solid phase presents re-entrant melting, i.e. this solid melts into the fluid phase as the pressure is increased.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Lattice gas version  ====&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, similar  behaviour has been found in a three-dimensional Repulsive&lt;br /&gt;
Ramp [[lattice gas|Lattice Gas]] model &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The system is defined on a simple cubic lattice. The interaction is that of a [[lattice hard spheres|lattice&lt;br /&gt;
hard sphere]] model with exclusion of nearest neighbours of occupied positions plus a repulsive interaction&lt;br /&gt;
with next-to-nearest neighbours.&lt;br /&gt;
The total potential energy of the system is then given by:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
U = \epsilon \sum_{[ij]} S_i S_j&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \epsilon &amp;gt; 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ; &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; [ij] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; refers to all the pairs of sites that are&lt;br /&gt;
second neighbors, and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; S_k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; indicates the occupation of site &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; k &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
