29 We have investigated the structural properties of the basal and
30 prismatic facets of an SPC/E model of the ice Ih / water interface
31 when the solid phase is being drawn through liquid water (i.e. sheared
32 relative to the fluid phase). To impose the shear, we utilized a
33 reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD) method that creates
34 non-equilibrium conditions using velocity shearing and scaling (VSS)
35 moves of the molecules in two physically separated slabs in the
36 simulation cell. This method can create simultaneous temperature and
37 velocity gradients and allow the measurement of friction transport
38 properties at interfaces. We present calculations of the interfacial
39 friction coefficients and the apparent independence of shear rate on
40 interfacial width and show that water moving over a flat ice/water
41 interface is close to the no-slip boundary condition.

57 Understanding the ice/water interface is essential for explaining complex processes such as nucleartion and crystal growth\cite{Han92,Granasy95,Vanfleet95}, crystal melting\cite{Weber83,Han92,Sakai96,Sakai96B}, and biological interfacial processes, such as the antifreeze protein found in winter flounder\cite{Wierzbicki07, Chapsky97}.

59 Haymet \emph{et al.} have done extensive work on ice Ih, including characterizing and determining the width of the ice/water interface for the SPC, SPC/E, CF1, and TIP4P models for water. \cite{Karim87,Karim88,Karim90,Hayward01,Bryk02,Hayward02,Gay02} More recently, Haymet \emph{et al.} have been investigating the effects cations and anions have on crystal nucleation\cite{Bryk04,Smith05,Wilson08,Wilson10}. Nada \emph{et al.} have also studied the ice/water interface\cite{Nada95,Nada00,Nada03,Nada12}. They have found that the different facets of ice Ih have different growth rates, primarily, that the prismatic facet grows faster than the basal facet due to the mechanism of the crystal growth being the reordering of the hydrogen bonding network\cite{Nada05}.

74 With the recent development of velocity shearing and scaling reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (VSS-RNEMD), it is now possible to calculate transport properties from heterogeneous systems.\cite{Kuang12} This method can create simultaneous temperature and velocity gradients and allow the measurement of friction and thermal transport properties at interfaces. This allows for the study of the width of the ice/water interface as the ice is sheared through the liquid, while imposing a thermal gradient to prevent frictional heating of the interface.
75
76 In this paper, we investigate the width and the friction coefficient of the ice/water interface as the ice is sheared through the liquid.

78 \section{Methodology}
79
80 \subsection{Stable ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ / water interfaces}
81
82 The structure of ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ is well understood; it
83 crystallizes in a hexagonal space group P$6_3/mmc$, and the hexagonal
84 crystals of ice have two faces that are commonly exposed, the basal
85 face $\{0~0~0~1\}$, which forms the top and bottom of each hexagonal
86 plate, and the prismatic $\{1~0~\bar{1}~0\}$ face which forms the
87 sides of the plate. Other less-common, but still important, faces of
88 ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ are the secondary prism face, $\{1~1~\bar{2}~0\}$,
89 and the prismatic face, $\{2~0~\bar{2}~1\}$.
90
91 Ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ is normally proton disordered in bulk crystals,
92 although the surfaces probably have a preference for proton ordering
93 along strips of dangling H-atoms and Oxygen lone
94 pairs.\cite{Buch:2008fk}
95
96 For small simulated ice interfaces, it is useful to have a
97 proton-ordered, but zero-dipole crystal that exposes these strips of
98 dangling H-atoms and lone pairs. Also, if we're going to place
99 another material in contact with one of the ice crystalline planes, it
100 is useful to have an orthorhombic (rectangular) box to work with. A
101 recent paper by Hirsch and Ojam\"{a}e describes how to create
102 proton-ordered bulk ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ in alternative orthorhombic
103 cells.\cite{Hirsch04}
104
105 We have using Hirsch and Ojam\"{a}e's structure 6 which is an
106 orthorhombic cell ($P2_12_12_1$) that produces a proton-ordered
107 version of ice Ih. Table \ref{tab:equiv} contains a mapping between
108 the Miller indices in the P$6_3/mmc$ crystal system and those in the
109 Hirsch and Ojam\"{a}e $P2_12_12_1$ system.

123 Structure 6 from the Hirsch and Ojam\"{a}e paper has lattice
124 parameters $a = 4.49225$, $b = 7.78080$, $c = 7.33581$ and two water
125 molecules whose atoms reside at the following fractional coordinates:

136 \end{tabular}
137 \end{wraptable}
138
139 To construct the basal and prismatic interfaces, the crystallographic
140 coordinates above were used to construct an orthorhombic unit cell
141 which was then replicated in all three dimensions yielding a
142 proton-ordered block of ice I$_{h}$. To expose the desired face, the
143 orthorhombic representation was then cut along the ($001$) or ($100$)
144 planes for the basal and prismatic faces respectively. The resulting
145 block was rotated so that the exposed faces were aligned with the $z$
146 axis normal to the exposed face. The block was then cut along two
147 perpendicular directions in a way that allowed for perfect periodic
148 replication in the $x$ and $y$ axes, creating a slab with either the
149 basal or prismatic faces exposed along the $z$ axis. The slab was
150 then replicated in the $x$ and $y$ dimensions until a desired sample
151 size was obtained.
152
153 Although experimental solid/liquid coexistant temperature under normal
154 pressure are close to 273K, Haymet \emph{et al.} have done extensive
155 work on characterizing the ice/water
156 interface.\cite{Karim88,Karim90,Hayward01,Bryk02,Hayward02} They have
157 found for the SPC/E water model,\cite{Berendsen87} which is also used
158 in this study, the ice/water interface is most stable at
159 225$\pm$5K.\cite{Bryk02} To create a ice / water interface, a box of
160 liquid water that had the same dimensions in $x$ and $y$ was
161 equilibrated at 225 K and 1 atm of pressure in the NPAT ensemble (with
162 the $z$ axis allowed to fluctuate to equilibrate to the correct
163 pressure). The liquid and solid systems were combined by carving out
164 any water molecule from the liquid simulation cell that was within 3
165 \AA\ of any atom in the ice slab.
166
167 Molecular translation and orientational restraints were applied in the
168 early stages of equilibration to prevent melting of the ice slab.
169 These restraints were removed during NVT equilibration, well before
170 data collection was carried out.
171
172 \subsection{Shearing ice / water interfaces without bulk melting}
173
174 As one drags a solid through a liquid, there will be frictional
175 heating that will act to melt the interface. To study the frictional
176 behavior of the interface without causing the interface to melt, it is
177 necessary to apply a weak thermal gradient along with the momentum
178 gradient. This can be accomplished with of the newly-developed
179 approaches to reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD). The
180 velocity shearing and scaling (VSS) variant of RNEMD utilizes a series
181 of simultaneous velocity exchanges between two regions within the
182 simulation cell.\cite{Kuang12} One of these regions is centered within
183 the ice slab, while the other is centrally located in the liquid phase
184 region. VSS-RNEMD provides a set of conservation constraints for
185 simultaneously creating either a momentum flux or a thermal flux (or
186 both) between the two slabs. Satisfying the constraint equations
187 ensures that the new configurations are sampled from the same NVE
188 ensemble as previously.
189
190 The VSS moves are applied periodically to scale and shift the particle
191 velocities ($\mathbf{v}_i$ and $\mathbf{v}_j$) in two slabs ($H$ and
192 $C$) which are separated by half of the simulation box,
193 \begin{displaymath}
194 \begin{array}{rclcl}
195
196 & \underline{\mathrm{shearing}} & &
197 \underline{~~~~~~~~~~~~\mathrm{scaling}~~~~~~~~~~~~} \\
198 \mathbf{v}_i \leftarrow &
199 \mathbf{a}_c\ & + & c\cdot\left(\mathbf{v}_i - \langle\mathbf{v}_c
200 \rangle\right) + \langle\mathbf{v}_c\rangle \\
201 \mathbf{v}_j \leftarrow &
202 \mathbf{a}_h & + & h\cdot\left(\mathbf{v}_j - \langle\mathbf{v}_h
203 \rangle\right) + \langle\mathbf{v}_h\rangle .
204
205 \end{array}
206 \end{displaymath}
207 Here $\langle\mathbf{v}_c\rangle$ and $\langle\mathbf{v}_h\rangle$ are
208 the center of mass velocities in the $C$ and $H$ slabs, respectively.
209 Within the two slabs, particles receive incremental changes or a
210 ``shear'' to their velocities. The amount of shear is governed by the
211 imposed momentum flux, $\mathbf{j}_z(\mathbf{p})$
212 \begin{eqnarray}
213 \mathbf{a}_c & = & - \mathbf{j}_z(\mathbf{p}) \Delta t / M_c \label{vss1}\\
214 \mathbf{a}_h & = & + \mathbf{j}_z(\mathbf{p}) \Delta t / M_h \label{vss2}
215 \end{eqnarray}
216 where $M_{\{c,h\}}$ is the total mass of particles within each of the
217 slabs and $\Delta t$ is the interval between two separate operations.
218
219 To simultaneously impose a thermal flux ($J_z$) between the slabs we
220 use energy conservation constraints,
221 \begin{eqnarray}
222 K_c - J_z\Delta t & = & c^2 (K_c - \frac{1}{2}M_c \langle\mathbf{v}_c
223 \rangle^2) + \frac{1}{2}M_c (\langle \mathbf{v}_c \rangle + \mathbf{a}_c)^2 \label{vss3}\\
224 K_h + J_z\Delta t & = & h^2 (K_h - \frac{1}{2}M_h \langle\mathbf{v}_h
225 \rangle^2) + \frac{1}{2}M_h (\langle \mathbf{v}_h \rangle +
226 \mathbf{a}_h)^2 \label{vss4}.
227 \label{constraint}
228 \end{eqnarray}
229 Simultaneous solution of these quadratic formulae for the scaling
230 coefficients, $c$ and $h$, will ensure that the simulation samples from
231 the original microcanonical (NVE) ensemble. Here $K_{\{c,h\}}$ is the
232 instantaneous translational kinetic energy of each slab. At each time
233 interval, it is a simple matter to solve for $c$, $h$, $\mathbf{a}_c$,
234 and $\mathbf{a}_h$, subject to the imposed momentum flux,
235 $j_z(\mathbf{p})$, and thermal flux, $J_z$, values. Since the VSS
236 operations do not change the kinetic energy due to orientational
237 degrees of freedom or the potential energy of a system, configurations
238 after the VSS move have exactly the same energy (and linear
239 momentum) as before the move.
240
241 As the simulation progresses, the VSS moves are performed on a regular
242 basis, and the system develops a thermal and/or velocity gradient in
243 response to the applied flux. In a bulk material it is quite simple
244 to use the slope of the temperature or velocity gradients to obtain
245 the thermal conductivity or shear viscosity.
246
247 The VSS-RNEMD approach is versatile in that it may be used to
248 implement thermal and shear transport simultaneously. Perturbations
249 of velocities away from the ideal Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions are
250 minimal, as is thermal anisotropy. This ability to generate
251 simultaneous thermal and shear fluxes has been previously utilized to
252 map out the shear viscosity of SPC/E water over a wide range of
253 temperatures (90~K) with a single 1 ns simulation.\cite{Kuang12}
254
255 Here we are using this method primarily to generate a shear between
256 the ice slab and the liquid phase, while using a weak thermal gradient
257 to maintaining the interface at the 225K target value. This will
258 insure minimal melting of the bulk ice phase and allows us to control
259 the exact temperature of the interface.
260
261 \subsection{Computational Details}
262 All simulations were performed using OpenMD with a time step of 2 fs,
263 and periodic boundary conditions in all three dimensions. The systems
264 were divided into 100 artificial bins along the $z$-axis for the
265 VSS-RNEMD moves, which were attempted every 50 fs. The gradients were
266 allowed to develop for 1 ns before data collection was began. Once
267 established, snapshots of the system were taken every 1 ps, and the
268 average velocities and densities of each bin were accumulated every
269 attempted VSS-RNEMD move.
270
271 %A paragraph on the equilibration procedure of the system? Shenyu did some amount of equilibration to the files and then I was handed them. I performed 5 ns of NVT at 225K for both systems, then 5 ns of NVE at 225K for both systems, with no gradients imposed.
272 %For the basal, once the thermal gradient was found which gave me the interfacial temperature I wanted (-2.0E-6 kcal/mol/A^2/fs), I equilibrated the file for 5 ns letting this gradient stabilize. Then I continued to use this thermal gradient as I imposed momentum gradients and watched the response of the interface.
273 %For the prismatic, a gradient was not found that would give me the interfacial temperature I desired, so while imposing a thermal gradient that had the interface at 220K, I raised the temperature of the system to 230K. This resulted in a thermal gradient which gave my interface at 225K, equilibrated for ins NVT, then ins NVE while this gradient was still imposed, then I began dragging.
274 %I have run each system for 1 ns under PTgrads to allow them to develop, then ran each system for an additional 2 ns in segments of 0.5 ns in order to calculate statistics of the calculated values.
275
276 \subsection{Measuring the Width of the Interface}
277 In order to characterize the ice/water interface, the local
278 tetrahedral order parameter as described by Kumar\cite{Kumar09} and
279 Errington\cite{Errington01} was used. The local tetrahedral order
280 parameter, $q$, is given by
281 \begin{equation}
282 q_{k} \equiv 1 -\frac{3}{8}\sum_{i=1}^{3} \sum_{j=i+1}^{4} \Bigg[\cos\psi_{ikj}+\frac{1}{3}\Bigg]^2
283 \end{equation}
284 where $\psi_{ikj}$ is the angle formed by the oxygen sites on molecule $k$, and the oxygen site on its two closest neighbors, molecules $i$ and $j$. The local tetrahedral order parameter function has a range of (0,1), where the larger the value $q$ has the more tetrahedral the ordering of the local environment is. A $q$ value of one describes a perfectly tetrahedral environment relative to it and its four nearest neighbors, and the parameter's value decreases as the local ordering becomes less tetrahedral.
285
286 %If the central water molecule has a perfect tetrahedral geometry with its four nearest neighbors, the parameter goes to one, and decreases to zero as the geometry deviates from the ideal configuration.
287
288 The system was divided into 100 bins along the $z$-axis, and a $q$ value was determined for each snapshot of the system for each bin. The $q$ values for each bin were then averaged to give an average tetrahedrally profile of the system about the $z$- axis. The profile was then fit with a hyperbolic tangent function given by
289 \begin{equation}
290 q_{z}=q_{liq}+\frac{q_{ice}-q_{liq}}{2}(\tanh(\alpha(z-I_{L,m}))-\tanh(\alpha(z-I_{R,m})))
291 \end{equation}
292 where $q_{liq}$ and $q_{ice}$ are fitting parameters for the local tetrahedral order parameter for the liquid and ice, $\alpha$ is proportional to the inverse of the width of the interface, and $I_{L,m}$ and $I_{R,m}$ are the midpoints of the left and right interface. During the simulations where a kinetic energy flux was imposed, there was found to be a thermal influence in the liquid phase region of the tetrahedrally profile due to the thermal gradient developed in the system. To maximize the fit of the interface, another term was added to the hyperbolic tangent fitting function,
293 \begin{equation}
294 q_{z}=q_{liq}+\frac{q_{ice}-q_{liq}}{2}(\tanh(\alpha(z-I_{L,m}))-\tanh(\alpha(z-I_{R,m})))+\beta|(z-z_{mid})|
295 \end{equation}
296 where $\beta$ is a fitting parameter and $z_{mid}$ is the midpoint of the z dimension of the simulation box.

302
303 In Figures \ref{fig:bComic} and \ref{fig:pComic} we see the $z$-dimensional profiles for several parameters for the basal and prismatic systems respectively. In panel (a) of the figures we see the tetrahedrality profile of the systems (black circles). In the liquid region of the system, the local tetrahedral order parameter is approximately 0.75. In the solid region, the parameter is approximately 0.94, indicating a more tetrahedral structure of the water molecules. The hyperbolic tangent function used to fit the tetrahedrality profiles can be found in red and the verticle dotted lines denote the midpoint of the interfaces. The weak thermal gradient applied to the systems in order to keep the interface at a stable temperature, 225$\pm$5K, can be seen in panel (b). Lastly, the velocity gradient across the systems can be seen in panel (c). From panel (c), we can see liquid phase water molecules 5 to 12 \AA\ from the midpoint of the basal and prismatic interfaces are being dragged along with the ice block. This indicates that the shearing of ice water is in the stick boundary condition.

318 \subsection{Interfacial Width}
319 %For the basal and prismatic systems, the ice blocks were sheared through the water at varying rates while an imposed thermal gradient kept the interface at the stable temperature range as described by Byrk and Haymet.
320 We found the interfacial width for the basal and prismatic systems to be 3.2$\pm$0.4 \AA\ and 3.6$\pm$0.2 \AA\ with no applied momentum flux. Over the range of shear rates investigated, 0.6$\pm$0.3 ms\textsuperscript{-1} to 5.3$\pm$0.5 ms\textsuperscript{-1} for the basal system and 0.9$\pm$0.2 ms\textsuperscript{-1} to 4.5$\pm$0.1 ms\textsuperscript{-1}, there was no appreciable change in the interface width found. The calculated values for the interfacial width over all shear rates investigated contained the control values within their error bars.
321
322 %Need to reword the following paragraph
323 Beaglehole and Wilson have measured the ice/water interface to have a thickness approximately 10-20 \AA\ for both the basal and prismatic face of ice by ellipticity measurements \cite{Beaglehole93}. Haymet \emph{et al.} agrees with these measurements, our results do not. We are using a parameter from the hyperbolic tangent fit of the local tetrahedrality order parameter to determine the interfacial width, whereas Haymet and co-workers use the 10-90 widths of the translational, average density, diffusion, and orientational decay times \cite{Hayward01}.
324
325 \subsection{Coefficient of Friction of the Interface}
326 As the ice is sheared through the liquid, there will be a friction between the ice and the interface. Balasubramanian has shown how to calculate the coefficient of friction for a solid-liquid interface. \cite{Balasubramanian99}
327 \begin{equation}
328 %<F_{x}^{w}>_{NE}(t)=-S\lambda_{wall}v_{x}(y_{wall})
329 \langle F_{x}^{w}\rangle(t)=-S\lambda_{wall}v_{x}(y_{wall})
330 \end{equation}
331 In this equation, $F_{x}^{w}$ is the total force of all the atoms acting on the fluid, $S$ is the surface area the force is being applied upon, and $\lambda_{wall}$ is the coefficient of friction of the interface. Since the imposed momentum flux, $J_{z}(p_{x})$, is known in the VSS-RNEMD simulations, and the $wall$ is the ice block in our simulations, the above equation can be rewritten as
332 \begin{equation}
333 J_{z}(p_{x})=-\lambda_{ice}v_{x}(y_{ice}).
334 \end{equation}
335
336 In Figure \ref{fig:CoeffFric}, the average velocity of the ice is plotted against the imposed momentum flux for the basal (black circles) and prismatic (red circles) systems. From the equation above, the slope of the linear fit of the data is $\lambda_{wall}$. The coefficient of friction of the interface for the basal face was calculated to be 11.0 $\pm$ 0.4 \AA\textsuperscript{-2}fs\textsuperscript{-1}, and the $\lambda_{wall}$ for the prismatic face was determined to be 19.9, $\pm$ 0.5 \AA\textsuperscript{-2}fs\textsuperscript{-1}.
337
338 %Ask dan about truncating versus rounding the values for lambda.
339 %The coefficient of friction of the interface for the basal face was calculated to be 11.02808 $\pm$ 0.4489844 \AA^{-2}fs^{-1}, and the $\lambda_{wall}$ for the prismatic face was determined to be 19.95948, $\pm$ 0.5370894 \AA^{-2}fs^{-1}.

345 \section{Conclusion}
346 Here we have simulated the basal and prismatic facets of an SPC/E model of the ice Ih / water interface. Using VSS-RNEMD, the ice was sheared relative to the liquid while imposed thermal gradients kept the interface at a stable temperature. Caculation of the local tetrahedrality order parameter has shown an appearant independence of the shear rate on the interfacial width. The coefficient of friction of the interface was also calculated for each of the facets. The $\lambda_{wall}$ for the basal face was calculated to be 11.0 $\pm$ 0.4 \AA\textsuperscript{-2}fs\textsuperscript{-1}, and 19.9, $\pm$ 0.5 \AA\textsuperscript{-2}fs\textsuperscript{-1} for the prismatic facet. For both facets, the shearing ice water was found to be in the no-slip boundary condition.
