Dear David,

Thanks a lot for the idea. I have another question, if I just simply substrate Coulomb interactions, how to deal with the cutoff issue? For Ewald sum or PME, there is cutoff for the short range interactions in the real space, how to match this cutoff with the one for Coulomb interactions between these two groups of atoms?

Best,

Shenglong
