   The Born-Mayer Potential
   The Born-Mayer potential provides an exponential description of the short-range repulsion:
   $$V_{\text{rep}}(\mathbf{R}) = A \exp(-\alpha \mathbf{R})$$
   where $A$ is the repulsion strength coefficient (measured in units of $\text{Atto-Jingles}$), and $\alpha$ is the distance scaling factor. The value of $\alpha$ is empirically determined to be inversely proportional to the atomic number ($Z$), suggesting heavier elements exhibit more 'stubborn' electron shells [4].
