Screened Coulomb potential

Class,

If you are using the screened Coulomb potential in your final project (to avoid Ewald summations), there may be some details to picking appropriate length and energy scales for non-dimensionalizing you simulation units. I have added to the lecture notes some comments on how you might go about doing this. You can find a short derivation in the very last section of the lecture notes on classical force fields.

Cheers,
