I. Introduction
One is recommended to read through and understand the background knowledge of polarizable force field AMOEBA, in order to have a better learning experience of the next generation AMOEBA+ force field. As indicated by the name, AMOEBA+ is based on the AMOEBA model with incoporation of essential physical effects that are missing in AMOEBA model. With the short-range charge penetration and charge transfer effects being included, AMOEBA+ potential is able to follow the energy components by the Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory (SAPT).
Below brief description of the SAPT theory is introduced, followed by the specific interactions/physical effects that are incoporated in AMOEBA+ potential. In the last part, brief summary of the current status of the parametrization of the AMOEBA+ force field is given.
II. Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory
III. New potential energy terms
These energy terms are newly added, which means they are not in the AMOEBA model.
