Overview
This section covers the Panagiotopoulos 1989 (Pana1989) force field as it is implemented into the towhee_ff_Pana1989 file in the ForceFields directory.
This force field was designed for vapor-liquid coexistence of Noble gasses.
Note that this is a Lennard-Jones force field that ended up using an explicit mixing rule between certain (but not all) pairs of atoms.
The 'Shukla' mixing rule reproduces the cross terms they used for Argon-Krypton.
However, it can also be used with any of the normal Lennard-Jones mixing rules.
Any discrepencies (especially typos) from the published values are the sole responsibility of Marcus Martin,
and I welcome feedback on how this implementation compares with other programs.
