6.7. Umbrella Improper¶
6.7.1. Functional Form¶
The umbrella improper potential has the functional form:
\(E=\left\{ \begin{align} & \frac{1}{2}{{K}_{i,ijkl}}{{\left[ \frac{1+\cos \left( {{\omega }_{0,ijkl}} \right)}{\sin \left( {{\omega }_{0,ijkl}} \right)} \right]}^{2}}\left[ \cos \left( {{\omega }_{ijkl}} \right)-\cos \left( {{\omega }_{0,ijkl}} \right) \right],\text{ if }{{\omega }_{0,ijkl}}\ne 0 \\ & {{K}_{i,ijkl}}\left[ 1-\cos \left( {{\omega }_{ijkl}} \right) \right],\text{ if }{{\omega }_{0,ijkl}}=0 \\ \end{align} \right.\)
