Abstract
The surface tension of a Lennard‐Jones liquid–vapor interface has been determined accurately in a molecular dynamics simulation. Our values tend to be smaller than those from previous simulations. It is shown that the usually truncated tail of the potential strongly increases the surface tension if taken into account.Keywords
