As annotated above, the first element in the entry is the center atom
in a three-body interaction. Thus an entry for SiCC means a Si atom
with 2 C atoms as neighbors. By symmetry, three-body parameters for
SiCSi and SiSiC entries should be the same. Two-body parameters for
an interaction come from the entry where the 2nd element is repeated.
Thus the two-body parameters for Si interacting with C, comes from the
SiCC entry. Again by symmetry, the two-body parameters in the SiCC
and CSiSi entries should thus be the same. Two-body parameters in
entries whose 2nd and 3rd element are different (e.g. SiCSi) are
