[gmx-users] Problem to simulate silica melts and amorphous silica with BKS potentials

2009-03-12 Thread David Waroquiers
Hello again. It's pretty clear now for me thanks. I still have a little problem due to the unphysical trend of the BKS potentials for r --> 0 : it goes to minus infinity. The atoms can thus collide in case of a high temperature (providing them enough velocity to overcome the barrier) and I get the
