Unless there is a significant change in result in any of the further systems, we are going to neglect to comment on the pure cutoff (PC) system. It is unreasonable to expect it to perform well in either energetic or dynamic studies using molecular groups, as evidenced in previous studies and in the results displayed here and in the rest of this paper.\cite{Adams79,Steinbach94} In contrast to PC, the {\sc sp} method shows variety in the results. In the weakly and undamped cases, the results are poor for both the energy gap and dynamics, and this is not surprising considering the energy oscillations observed by Wolf {\it et al.} and the discontinuity in the forces discussed in the main portion of this paper.\cite{Wolf99} Long cutoff radii, moderate damping, or a combination of the two are required for {\sc sp} to perform respectably. With a cutoff greater than 12 \AA\ and $\alpha$ of 0.2 \AA$^{-1}$, {\sc sp} provides result right in line with SPME. |

The {\sc sf} method displays energetic and dynamic results very similar to SPME under undamped to moderately damped conditions. The quality seems to degrade in the overdamped case ($\alpha = 0.3 \AA^{-1}$) to values identical to {\sc sp}, so it is important not to get carried away with the use of damping. A cutoff radius choice of 12 \AA\ or higher is recommended, primarily due to the energy gap results of interest in Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. |

The group switched cutoff (GSC) and reaction field (RF) methods seem to have very similar behavior, with the preference given to RF for the improved energy gap results. Neither mimics the energetics of SPME as well as the {\sc sp} (with moderate damping) and {\sc sf} methods, and the results seem relatively independent of cutoff radius. The dynamics for both methods, however, are quite good. Both methods utilize switching functions, which correct and discontinuities in the potential and forces, a possible reason for the improved results. It is interesting to compare the PC with the GSC cases, and recognize the significant improvement that group based cutoffs and switching functions provide. This as been recognized in previous studies,\cite{Andrea83,Steinbach94} and is a useful tactic for stably incorporating local area electrostatic effects. |

\section{\label{app-ice}Solid Water: Ice I$_\textrm{c}$} |
140 |
> |
For the most parts, the water results appear to parallel the combined |
141 |
> |
results seen in the discussion in the main paper. There is good |
142 |
> |
agreement with SPME in both energetic and dynamic behavior when using |
143 |
> |
the {\sc sf} method with and without damping. The {\sc sp} method does |
144 |
> |
well with an $\alpha$ around 0.2 \AA$^{-1}$, particularly with cutoff |
145 |
> |
radii greater than 12 \AA. The results for both of these methods also |
146 |
> |
begin to decay as damping gets too large. |
147 |
|
|
148 |
+ |
The pure cutoff (PC) method performs poorly, as seen in the main |
149 |
+ |
discussion section. In contrast to the combined values, however, the |
150 |
+ |
use of a switching function and group based cutoffs really improves |
151 |
+ |
the results for these neutral water molecules. The group switched |
152 |
+ |
cutoff (GSC) shows mimics the energetics of SPME more poorly than the |
153 |
+ |
{\sc sp} (with moderate damping) and {\sc sf} methods, but the |
154 |
+ |
dynamics are quite good. The switching functions corrects |
155 |
+ |
discontinuities in the potential and forces, leading to the improved |
156 |
+ |
results. Such improvements with the use of a switching function has |
157 |
+ |
been recognized in previous studies,\cite{Andrea83,Steinbach94} and it |
158 |
+ |
is a useful tactic for stably incorporating local area electrostatic |
159 |
+ |
effects. |
160 |
+ |
|
161 |
+ |
The reaction field (RF) method simply extends the results observed in |
162 |
+ |
the GSC case. Both methods are similar in form (i.e. neutral groups, |
163 |
+ |
switching function), but RF incorporates an added effect from the |
164 |
+ |
external dielectric. This similarity translates into the same good |
165 |
+ |
dynamic results and improved energetic results. These still fall |
166 |
+ |
short of the moderately damped {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods, but they |
167 |
+ |
display how incorporating some implicit properties of the surroundings |
168 |
+ |
(i.e. $\epsilon_\textrm{S}$) can improve results. |
169 |
+ |
|
170 |
+ |
A final note for the liquid water system, use of group cutoffs and a |
171 |
+ |
switching function also leads to noticeable improvements in the {\sc |
172 |
+ |
sp} and {\sc sf} methods, primarily in directionality of the force and |
173 |
+ |
torque vectors (table \ref{tab:spceAng}). {\sc sp} shows significant |
174 |
+ |
narrowing of the angle distribution in the cases with little to no |
175 |
+ |
damping and only modest improvement for the ideal conditions ($\alpha$ |
176 |
+ |
= 0.2 \AA${-1}$ and $R_\textrm{c} \geqslant 12$~\AA). The {\sc sf} |
177 |
+ |
method simply shows modest narrowing across all damping and cutoff |
178 |
+ |
ranges of interest. Group cutoffs and the switching function do |
179 |
+ |
nothing for cases were error is introduced by overdamping the |
180 |
+ |
potentials. |

Highly ordered systems are a difficult test for the pairwise systems |
287 |

in that they lack the periodicity inherent to the Ewald summation. As |
288 |

expected, the energy gap agreement with SPME reduces for the {\sc sp} |
289 |

and {\sc sf} with parameters that were perfectly acceptable for the |
290 |

disordered liquid system. Moving to higher $R_\textrm{c}$ remedies |
291 |

this degraded performance, though at increase in computational cost. |
292 |

However, the dynamics of this crystalline system (both in magnitude |
293 |

and direction) are little affected. Both methods still reproduce the |
294 |

Ewald behavior with the same parameter recommendations from the |

296 |
|
|
297 |
+ |
It is also worth noting that RF exhibits a slightly improved energy |
298 |
+ |
gap results over the liquid water system. One possible explanation is |
299 |
+ |
that the ice I$_\textrm{c}$ crystal is ordered such that the net |
300 |
+ |
dipole moment of the crystal is zero. With $\epsilon_\textrm{S} = |
301 |
+ |
\infty$, the reaction field incorporates this structural organization |
302 |
+ |
by actively enforcing a zeroed dipole moment within each cutoff |
303 |

sphere. |

A 1000K NaCl crystal was used to investigate the accuracy of the |
391 |
+ |
pairwise summation methods in an ordered system of charged |
392 |
+ |
particles. The results for the energy gap comparisons and the force |
393 |
+ |
and torque vector magnitude comparisons are shown in table |
394 |
+ |
\ref{tab:salt}. The force and torque vector directionality results |
395 |
+ |
are displayed separately in table \ref{tab:saltAng}, where the effect |
396 |
+ |
of group-based cutoffs and switching functions on the {\sc sp} and |
397 |
+ |
{\sc sf} potentials are investigated. |

The crystalline NaCl system is the most challenging test case for the |
468 |

pairwise summation methods, as evidenced by the results in tables |
469 |
> |
\ref{tab:salt} and \ref{tab:saltAng}. The undamped and weakly damped |
470 |

{\sc sf} methods with a 12 \AA\ cutoff radius seem to be the best |
471 |

choices. These methods match well with {\sc spme} across the energy |
472 |

gap, force magnitude, and force directionality tests. The {\sc sp} |
473 |

method struggles in all cases with the exception of good dynamics |
474 |

reproduction when using weak electrostatic damping with a large cutoff |
475 |

radius. |
476 |
|
|
477 |
+ |
The moderate electrostatic damping case is not as good as we would |
478 |
+ |
expect given the good long-time dynamics results observed for this |
479 |
+ |
system. Since these results are a test of instantaneous dynamics, this |
480 |
+ |
indicates that good long-time dynamics comes in part at the expense of |
481 |
+ |
short-time dynamics. Further indication of this comes from the full |
482 |
+ |
power spectra shown in the main text. It appears as though a |
483 |
+ |
distortion is introduced between 200 to 300 cm$^{-1}$ with increased |
484 |
+ |
$\alpha$. |

the liquid water system. This low ionic strength system consists of 4 |

This system appears not to show in any significant deviation in the previously observed results. The {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods give result qualities similar to those observed in section \ref{app:water}. The only significant difference is the improvement for the configuration energy differences for the {\sc rf} method. This is surprising in that we are introducing an inhomogeneity to the system; however, this inhomogeneity is charge-neutral and does not result in charged cutoff spheres. The charge-neutrality, which the {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods explicity enforce, seems to play a greater role in the stability of the {\sc rf} method than the necessity of a homogeneous environment. |
