Morse

[classi] [classj] morse [eps] [rho] [r_e]

UMorse = ε$\displaystyle \left[\vphantom{1 - \exp\left\{ -\rho \left(r - r_e\right) \right\} }\right.$1 - exp$\displaystyle \left\{\vphantom{ -\rho \left(r - r_e\right) }\right.$ - ρ$\displaystyle \left(\vphantom{r - r_e}\right.$r - re$\displaystyle \left.\vphantom{r - r_e}\right)$$\displaystyle \left.\vphantom{ -\rho \left(r - r_e\right) }\right\}$$\displaystyle \left.\vphantom{1 - \exp\left\{ -\rho \left(r - r_e\right) \right\} }\right]^{2}_{}$ - 1 (14)

where ε is the energy scale, ρ is the range parameter, and re is the equilibrium bond distance (or length scale).
