-In this exercise you will compute the energy profile for a simple reaction in a planar cluster of 7 Ar atomsby using the NEB method.+In this exercise you will compute the energy profile for a simple reaction in a planar cluster of 7 Ar atoms by using the NEB method.
  
 The NEB method requires at least the starting and the ending configuration between which the path is to be computed. In addition is good to add a guess of the intermediate configuration. This is useful in particular when two or more reaction paths are possible and you want to compute the activation energy of a determined path. By adding the desired intermediate configuration, you giude the optimization trough the path of interest. The intermediate configuration is anyway not deifnitive, and will be optimized by the  NEB algorithm. The NEB method requires at least the starting and the ending configuration between which the path is to be computed.
