This is accomplished by adjusting phi'', because it is largely responsible for the slope of thermal expansion as a function of temperature. D_0 and A are identical to the standard Morse potential when r=r_0. B is determined by the requirement that the thermal expansion should fit the experimental results near Debye temperature. The standard Morse potential is recovered for B = 1. The cutoff is set to a large value -- 1000 angstrom."
