Double square well model

The double square well model can be seen as a variant (or vice versa) of the square shoulder + square well model. In other words

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