摘要

这篇论文描述了伦纳德-琼斯（LJ）势能历史上的两个插曲。第一段发生在二十世纪二三十年代，讲述的是一种计算方法，其目标是实用性而非真理，在量子理论出现后依然保持着显著的稳健性。第二集讲述了 1964 年 LJ 物质的诞生。由于人们对计算机方法的兴趣与日俱增，模拟模型物质本身成为了研究的主要对象。LJ 电位和物质的历史体现了预测、理论、数学化和计算机仪器之间的动态关系。

On the History of the Lennard-Jones Potential

This contribution describes two episodes from the history of the Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential. The first, located in the 1920s and 1930s, is about a computational approach that aimed at pragmatics rather than truth and that remained remarkably robust when quantum theory arrived. The second episode covers the birth of the LJ substance in 1964. Due to increasing interest in computer methods, simulated model substances became objects on their own, the prime targets of investigation. The history of the LJ potential and substance exemplifies the dynamic relationship between prediction, theory, mathematization, and computer instrumentation.

期刊介绍： Annalen der Physik (AdP) is one of the world''s most renowned physics journals with an over 225 years'' tradition of excellence. Based on the fame of seminal papers by Einstein, Planck and many others, the journal is now tuned towards today''s most exciting findings including the annual Nobel Lectures. AdP comprises all areas of physics, with particular emphasis on important, significant and highly relevant results. Topics range from fundamental research to forefront applications including dynamic and interdisciplinary fields. The journal covers theory, simulation and experiment, e.g., but not exclusively, in condensed matter, quantum physics, photonics, materials physics, high energy, gravitation and astrophysics. It welcomes Rapid Research Letters, Original Papers, Review and Feature Articles.
