Abstract: Let

be the Eisenstein series/Epstein Zeta function. Motivated by widely used Lennard-Jones potential �egin{equation}aligned

onumber mathcal{V}(|cdot|^2):=4varepsilonBig( (frac{sigma}{|cdot|})^{12}-(frac{sigma}{|cdot|})^{6} Big), endalignedend{equation} in physics, in this paper, we consider the following lattice minimization problem �egin{equation}aligned onumber min_{zinmathbb{H}}Big(zeta(6,z)-bzeta(3,z)Big), ;;b=frac{1}{sigma^6} endalignedend{equation} and completely classify the minimizers for all $b i n R$ . Our results resolve an open problem in Blanc-Lewin cite{Bla2015}, and a conjecture by B'etermin cite{Bet2018}. Furthermore, our method of proofs works for general minimization problem �egin{equation}aligned onumber min_{zinmathbb{H}}Big(zeta(s_1,z)-bzeta(s_2,z)Big), ;;s_1>s_2>1 endalignedend{equation} which corresponds to general Lennard-Jones potential �egin{equation}aligned

onumber mathcal{V}(|cdot|^2):=4varepsilonBig( (frac{sigma}{|cdot|})^{2s_1}-(frac{sigma}{|cdot|})^{2s_2} Big),;;s_1>s_2>1. endalignedend{equation}
