The most physical way to do it is to construct a plane of lennard jones
particles which are then frozen. We have even used analytical
corrections for something like that (a glass surface) where we had a
layer of atoms and beyond that a continuum modeled by a LJ correction. I
don't know whether that code is still fully functional, but it is in
mdrun.
