I assume that we will do the following steps to carry out this task: To determine the equilibrium configurations of Na4Cl4 clusters for tetramers and plot their configurations with energies, we can proceed with the following steps:

  1. Define the potential energy function for the Na4Cl4 cluster. For our case the potential energy is of the form: Screenshot from 2023-11-26 22-12-51
    The potential energy function parameters for the Na4Cl4 cluster are defined as follows:

    • $\ A_{ij} = 423.80 \ eV$
    • $\ \rho = 0.317 \ Å$
    • $\ \frac{e^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} = 1.44 \ eV·nm$

  2. Initialize the cluster geometry to an ideal case.

  3. Use an optimization algorithm to minimize the energy and find the equilibrium configuration. Note: We will use CG algorithm for the optimization.

  4. Plot the equilibrium configurations using scatter plots and label them with their energies.

This seems like the order we should follow. How did you figure this out? Have you given any other thought?
