Detailed Description

AtomData sub-class; stores atom data.

Author

Note
The epsilon and radius members of this class refer use the following formula for calculating the van der Waals energy of atom $i$ interacting with atom $j$:

\[ V_{ij}(r_{ij}) = \epsilon_{ij} \left[ \left( \frac{\sigma_{ij}}{r_{ij}} \right)^{12} - 2 \left( \frac{\sigma_{ij}}{r_{ij}} \right)^{6} \right] \]

where $\epsilon_{ij} = \sqrt{\epsilon_i \epsilon_j}$ is the well-depth (in the desired energy units), $r_{ij}$ is the distance between atoms $i$ and $j$, and $\sigma_{ij} = \sigma_i + \sigma_j$ is the sum of the van der Waals radii.
