e=1;
sigma=0.154;
r=linspace(0.154,1,100);
U = @(e,sigma,r) 4*e*((sigma./r).^12)-((sigma./r).^6);
norm_r = r./sigma;
figure
plot(norm_r,U(e,sigma,r))

Let U be a function of r only and find the solution to U(r) = 0:
e=1;
sigma=0.154;
r=linspace(0.154,1,100);
U = @(r) 4*e*((sigma./r).^12)-((sigma./r).^6);
norm_r = r./sigma;
figure
plot(norm_r,U(r))
title('Lennard-Jones Potential')
xlabel('Distance (nm)')
ylabel('Potential Energy')
norm_r_0 = fzero(U,1)/sigma;
hold on; plot(norm_r_0,0,'*r')
