| Fitted for | Crystalline $\alpha$-alumina |

=====  Details  =====

This potential has been fitted for strained structures at zero Kelvin, structures with free 
surfaces at zero Kelvin and equilibrated snapshots of the ideal crystal between zero and 2000 Kelvin. 

Notably, this potential can be used for crack propagation simulations.
