Viscosity and diffusion coefficients for five equimolar binary gas mixtures of SF 6 with O 2, CO 2, CF 4, N 2 and CH 4 gases are determined from the extended principle of corresponding states of viscosity by the inversion technique. The Lennard–Jones 12-6 (LJ 12-6) potential energy function is used as the initial model potential required by the technique. The obtained interaction potential energies from the inversion procedure reproduce viscosity within 1% and diffusion coefficients within 5%.

Zero-stiffness structures have the remarkable ability to undergo large elastic deformations without requiring external work. Several equivalent descriptions exist, such as (i) continuous equilibrium, (ii) constant potential energy, (iii) neutral stability and (iv) zero stiffness. Each perspective on zero stiffness provides different methods of analysis and design. This paper reviews the concept of zero stiffness and categorises examples from the literature by the interpretation that best describes their working principle. Lastly, a basic spring-to-spring balancer is analysed to demonstrate the equivalence of the four different interpretations, and illustrate the different insights that each approach brings.

<p>We have calculated the intermolecular potential energy surface (IPES) of the dimer of cubic N8 cluster using <em>ab initio </em>and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The <em>ab initio </em>(HF/3- 21G(d)) and DFT (B3LYP/6-31G(d) and aug-cc-pVDZ) calculations were performed for two relative orientations of N8-N8 system as a function of separation distance between the centers of cubic N8 clusters. In this research, the IPES, <em>U</em>(<em>r</em>), of the N8-N8 system is studied, where the edge of N8 approaches to face or edge of the other considered N8. Then, the Lennard-Jones (12-6) and (22-11) adjustable parameters are fitted to the computed interaction energies for edge-face and edge-edge orientations. In this research for the first time, the IPESs proportionated to the Lennard-Jones (22-11) potential are derived that are compatible with the computed IPES curves. Assuming a set of Lennard-Jones parameters, the second virial coefficients are obtained for the N8-N8 complex at a temperature range of 298 to 1000 K. Both the corrected and uncorrected basis set superposition error (BSSE) results are presented confirming the significance of including BSSE corrections.</p>

A unified atom model for describing interaction energy between C60 molecules was obtained by Liu and Wang based on the Smith–Thakkar potential function. In view of the mathematical resemblance between the Liu–Wang and the conventional Lennard-Jones (12-6) function (used in computational chemistry software for describing van der Waals energy), modified versions of the Lennard-Jones function are proposed for quantifying the potential energy between C60 molecules. In this way, the Liu–Wang parameters can be converted into Lennard-Jones parameters for ready execution in commercially available computational chemistry software with minimal hard-coding involved. It was found that the Lennard-Jones function reasonably approximates the Liu–Wang model when the former's indices are increased by a factor of (7/4), without introducing any change to the coefficients. A better agreement was found when m = 4n = 35.4857, which also requires the change in repulsive and attractive indices from 1 and 2 to (1/3) and (4/3), respectively.
