A molecular dynamics investigation of a free surface of liquid argon

A molecular dynamics simulation technique is employed to investigate the equilibrium molecular structure of the liquid-vapour interfacial region for argon at about 124 °K. The density profile through the surface is found to be of a non-monotonic form. The pair distribution function in the surface is...
