A way to build CO2 crystal in ase is

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-15377-8 vdW interactions are important to water adsorption on surfaces, but have minor effects on the binding geometries - zero-pressure-LAMMPS-1 - zero-pressure-LAMMPS-2
What we want in experiments are intense lights with tunable frequencies. Pulses are needed as well
