Overview
This section covers Elliott 2002 parameters as they are implemented into the towhee_ff_Elli2002 file in the ForceFields directory.
This force field contains parameters for some linear alkanes and benzene and uses the 'Multiwell' force field.
It is designed for use with the Lorentz-Berthelot mixing rule.
I would like to acknowledge J. Richard Elliott for providing useful guidance about implementing this force field.
Any discrepencies (especially typos) from the published Elli2002 force field values are the sole responsibility of Marcus Martin,
and I welcome feedback on how this implementation compares with other programs.
