Abstract

Background: The knowledge of parameter estimation for interatomic potentials is useful in the computation of the vibrational structure of van der Waals molecules.

Methods: On the estimation of the Generalized Morse and Classical Lennard-Jones potential energy functions, complex conjugates eigenvalues may be obtained. Different approaches can be used to solve this resulting problem. A method that uses the objective least squares function method to estimate parameters of the interatomic potentials is employed.

Results: Numerical simulation of the systems using metal atoms yields complex conjugates eigenvalues at some initial point.

Conclusion: Other approaches of solving the complex conjugates eigenvalues problem are discussed comprehensively.

Keywords: Interatomic potentials, least squares, potential parameters, objective functions, van der Waals molecule, conjugate.
