Does the Intra‐Atomic Deformation Energy of Interacting Quantum Atoms Represent Steric Energy?
Abstract We show that the mutual, through‐space compression of atomic volume experienced by approaching topological atoms causes an exponential increase in the intra‐atomic energy of those atoms, regardless of approach orientation. This insight was obtained using the modern energy partitioning metho...
