 This exercise deals with heating a gold slab, namely the (100) reconstructed that you already simulated last time. The goal is to plot a density profile in the direction orthogonal to the slab, and to compute (using vmd) the radial distribution function g(r) at various temperatures. This exercise deals with heating a gold slab, namely the (100) reconstructed that you already simulated last time.
