Hi, Chaban

I think the result cannot be trusted because the total charge is 1.2, which
seems impossible. I just used the result calculated by Material Studio and I
used the value of charge on the internal atoms. The atoms in surface have
different charges. I have to change the charge by hand.

P.S. -pbc or -nopbc is depend on if you will use Periodical Boundary
Condition. My pdb is a SiO2 sphere, so I used -nopbc
