-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.

   * Try to play with representations: color the surface atoms in one color, the bulk ones in another color.
-  * Using the "radial distribution function" plugin from the extension menu, draw the g(r) of the system.
+  * Using the "radial distribution function" plugin from the extension menu (Extensions>Analysis>Radial Pair Distribution Function g( r ) ), draw the g( r ) of the system.
 <note tip>
  Discuss radial distribution function for 700, 1100, and 1300 K.

+Hint: how to use the g( r ) module:
+  - First apply pbcs (see above)
+  - Open the radial distribution function plugin and enter the parameters as shown (**note: in the example below we excluded the first 10 frames**) (from "Utilities" you can check that your unit cell is OK)
+  - Click "Compute g( r )"
+  - From the "File" menu of the graph window, you can save as postscript file or other formats.
