53. To correct for the unphysical behavior of the BKS model at short range, we use a potential of the form, (Formula presented) where (Formula presented) is the original BKS form, and r is the separation between atoms i and j, which may be either Si or O atoms. (Formula presented) while (Formula presented) (Formula presented) (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) are chosen so that the original BKS potential is modified as little as possible at larger r, subject to the constraint that the new potential has no inflection at small r.

Note that the definition used here for the (Formula presented) line differs from that of the “temperature of extremal compressibility” line studied by these authors. We focus on the (Formula presented) line because it’s location would be simpler to identify in isothermal compression experiments.
