# The Interface Pinning method for studying solid-liquid transitions

This example demonstrate using a bias potential that can be used to study solid-liquid transitions 
with the interface pinning method. This is done by adding a harmonic potential to the Hamiltonian 
that bias the system towards two-phase configurations.
