Square shoulder + square well model

The Square shoulder + square well model consists, as its name suggests, of a combination of the square shoulder model and the square well model. The model is given by

$\Phi _{12}\left(r\right)=\left\{{\begin{array}{ccc}\infty &;&r<\sigma \\\epsilon _{1}&;&\sigma \leq r<\lambda _{1}\sigma \\-\epsilon _{2}&;&\lambda _{1}\sigma \leq r<\lambda _{2}\sigma \\0&;&r\geq \lambda _{2}\sigma \end{array}}\right.$
