Determine the equilibrium configurations of Na_4Cl_4 clusters for tetramers (n=4) in this paper: K. Michaelian, "Evolving few-ion clusters of Na and Cl",Am. J. Phys. 66, 231 (1998),shown in Figure 4.
Plot the equilibrium configurations using the code in CompPhys/MinMax/nacl.ipynb. Label them with their energies. Initialize them to an “ideal” case for the geometry, and allow the optimization to determine the final configurations.
There are 7 configurations, each member of the group chooses 2, then discuss your approach for each individual case. No unit tests necessary this time. Still lint your code.
For this you have to complete the following steps:
