We examine the impact of adding a Coulomb term to a constrained system of 147 particles interacting via a Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential, finding that the inclusion of the coulombic interaction produces a shift, but no qualitative changes in the thermodynamical properties of the system. We also performed the systems characterization from a morphological point of view.
