Surface structure of a liquid film

Abstract

A molecular dynamic simulation of the surface structure of a liquid film at two temperatures (89 and 84°K) interacting with a Lennard-Jones (6,12) potential is reported. The density profiles normal to the film surface show no significant structure. The surface tension was calculated as 12.2±0.43 dyn/cm compared with the experimental value of 13.45 dyn/cm at 84°K.
