 Larger values of Cmin correspond to neighbors being blocked more easily. Cmax cannot be greater than 3, and

+Cmin cannot be greater than Cmax or less than zero. Screening may be omitted in which case the default values
 Cmax = 2.8, Cmin = 0.8 are used. Since screening is a bond computation, it is specified separately for each
 combination of three elements in which the latter two may be interchanged with no effect.
