-for $R_{ij} < r_{ij} < S_{ij}$ and otherwise zero.
-The derivations of the repulsive and attractive part are:
-\begin{eqnarray}
-\partial_{x_n^i} f_R(r_{ij}) & = & - \lambda_{ij} \frac{x_n^i - x_n^j}{r_{ij}} A_{ij} \exp (-\lambda_{ij} r_{ij})\\
-\partial_{x_n^i} f_A(r_{ij}) & = & \mu_{ij} \frac{x_n^i - x_n^j}{r_{ij}} B_{ij} \exp (-\mu_{ij} r_{ij}) \textrm{ .}
-\end{eqnarray}
-The angle $\theta_{ijk}$ can be expressed by the atom distances with the law of cosines:
-\begin{eqnarray}
-\theta_{ijk} & = & \arccos \Big( (r_{ij}^2 + r_{ik}^2 - r_{jk}^2)/(2 r_{ij} r_{ik}) \Big) \\
-\partial_{x^i_n} \theta_{ijk} & = &
-\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1 - ((r_{ik}^2+r_{ij}^2-r_{jk}^2)/2r_{ik}r_{ij})^2}} \times \nonumber\\
- & & \times \Big( \frac{4 r_{ik}r_{ij} (2 x^i_n - x^k_n - x^j_n) + 2(x^j_n - x^i_n)\frac{r_{ik}}{r_{ij}} + 2(x^k_n - x^i_n)\frac{r_{ij}}{r_{ik}} }{4 r^2_{ik} r^2_{ij}}\Big) \label{eq:d_theta}
-\end{eqnarray}
-Using the expressions \eqref{eq:d_cutoff} and \eqref{eq:d_theta} the derivation of $b_{ij}$ with respect to $x^i_n$ can be written as:
-\begin{eqnarray}
-\partial_{x^i_n} b_{ij} & = &
-- \frac{1}{2n_i} \chi_{ij} \Bigg( 1 + \beta_i^{n_i} \Bigg[ \sum_{k \ne i,j} \bigg( f_C(r_{ik}) \omega_{ik} \Big( 1 + \frac{c_i^2}{d_i^2} - \frac{c_i^2}{d_i^2 + (h_i - \cos \theta_{ijk})^2} \Big) \bigg)^{n_i} \Bigg] \Bigg)^{-\frac{1}{2n_i} - 1} \times \nonumber\\
-&& \times n_i \beta_i^{n_i} \sum_{k \ne i,j} \Bigg( \Bigg[ f_C(r_{ik}) \omega_{ik} \Big( 1 + \frac{c_i^2}{d_i^2} - \frac{c_i^2}{d_i^2 + (h_i - \cos \theta_{ijk})^2} \Big) \Bigg]^{n_i -1} \times \nonumber\\
-&& \times \Bigg[ \omega_{ik} \Big( 1 + \frac{c_i^2}{d_i^2} - \frac{c_i^2}{d_i^2 + (h_i - \cos \theta_{ijk})^2} \Big) \partial_{x^i_n} f_C(r_{ik}) + \nonumber\\
-&& + f_C(r_{ik}) \omega_{ik} \frac{c_i^2}{(d_i^2 + (h_i - \cos \theta_{ijk})^2)^2} \times \nonumber\\
-&& \times 2 \Big( h_i - \cos \theta_{ijk} \Big) \sin \theta_{ijk} \partial_{x^i_n} \theta_{ijk} \Bigg] \Bigg)
