22     Canonical ensemble (NVT) molecular dynamics calculations were
23     performed using the OOPSE molecular mechanics package.\cite{Meineke05}
24     All molecules were treated as rigid bodies, with orientational motion
25     propagated using the symplectic DLM integration method. Details about
26     the implementation of this technique can be found in a recent
27     publication.\cite{Dullweber1997}
28    
29     Thermodynamic integration is an established technique for
30     determination of free energies of condensed phases of
31     materials.\cite{Frenkel84,Hermens88,Meijer90,Baez95a,Vlot99}. This
32     method, implemented in the same manner illustrated by B\`{a}ez and
33     Clancy, was utilized to calculate the free energy of several ice
34     crystals at 200 K using the TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P, SPC/E, SSD/RF, and
35     SSD/E water models.\cite{Baez95a} Liquid state free energies at 300
36     and 400 K for all of these water models were also determined using
37     this same technique, in order to determine melting points and to
38 chrisfen 1879 generate phase diagrams. System sizes were 648 or 1728 molecules for
39     ice B, 1024 or 1280 molecules for ice $I_h$, 1000 molecules for ice
40     $I_c$, and 1024 molecules for Ice-{\it i} and the liquid state
41     simulations. The larger crystal sizes were necessary for simulations
42     involving larger cutoff values. All simulations were carried out at
43 chrisfen 1872 densities which correspond to a pressure of approximately 1 atm at
44     their respective temperatures.
45    
46     Thermodynamic integration involves a sequence of simulations during
47     which the system of interest is converted into a reference system for
48     which the free energy is known analytically. This transformation path
49     is then integrated in order to determine the free energy difference
50     between the two states:
51     \begin{equation}
52     \Delta A = \int_0^1\left\langle\frac{\partial V(\lambda
53     )}{\partial\lambda}\right\rangle_\lambda d\lambda,
54     \end{equation}
55     where $V$ is the interaction potential and $\lambda$ is the
56     transformation parameter that scales the overall potential.
57     Simulations are distributed strategically along this path in order to
58     sufficiently sample the regions of greatest change in the potential.
59     Typical integrations in this study consisted of $\sim$25 simulations
60     ranging from 300 ps (for the unaltered system) to 75 ps (near the
61     reference state) in length.
62    
63     For the thermodynamic integration of molecular crystals, the Einstein
64     crystal was chosen as the reference system. In an Einstein crystal,
65     the molecules are restrained at their ideal lattice locations and
66     orientations. Using harmonic restraints, as applied by B\`{a}ez and
67     Clancy, the total potential for this reference crystal
68     ($V_\mathrm{EC}$) is the sum of all the harmonic restraints,
69     \begin{equation}
70     V_\mathrm{EC} = \frac{K_\mathrm{v}r^2}{2} + \frac{K_\theta\theta^2}{2} +
71     \frac{K_\omega\omega^2}{2},
72     \end{equation}
73     where $K_\mathrm{v}$, $K_\mathrm{\theta}$, and $K_\mathrm{\omega}$ are
74     the spring constants restraining translational motion and deflection
75     of and rotation around the principle axis of the molecule
76     respectively. These spring constants are typically calculated from
77     the mean-square displacements of water molecules in an unrestrained
78     ice crystal at 200 K. For these studies, $K_\mathrm{r} = 4.29$ kcal
79     mol$^{-1}$, $K_\theta\ = 13.88$ kcal mol$^{-1}$, and $K_\omega\ =
80     17.75$ kcal mol$^{-1}$. It is clear from Fig. \ref{waterSpring} that
81     the values of $\theta$ range from $0$ to $\pi$, while $\omega$ ranges
82     from $-\pi$ to $\pi$. The partition function for a molecular crystal
83     restrained in this fashion can be evaluated analytically, and the
84     Helmholtz Free Energy ({\it A}) is given by
85     \begin{eqnarray}
86     A = E_m\ -\ kT\ln \left (\frac{kT}{h\nu}\right )^3&-&kT\ln \left
87     [\pi^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{A}kT}{h^2}\right
88     )^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{B}kT}{h^2}\right
89     )^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{C}kT}{h^2}\right
90     )^\frac{1}{2}\right ] \nonumber \\ &-& kT\ln \left [\frac{kT}{2(\pi
91     K_\omega K_\theta)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\exp\left
92     (-\frac{kT}{2K_\theta}\right)\int_0^{\left (\frac{kT}{2K_\theta}\right
93     )^\frac{1}{2}}\exp(t^2)\mathrm{d}t\right ],
94     \label{ecFreeEnergy}
95     \end{eqnarray}
96     where $2\pi\nu = (K_\mathrm{v}/m)^{1/2}$, and $E_m$ is the minimum
97     potential energy of the ideal crystal.\cite{Baez95a}

102     $\theta$ angles correspond to displacement from the body-frame {\it
103     z}-axis, while $\omega$ angles correspond to rotation about the
104     body-frame {\it z}-axis. $K_\theta$ and $K_\omega$ are spring
105     constants for the harmonic springs restraining motion in the $\theta$
106     and $\omega$ directions.}

109    
110     In the case of molecular liquids, the ideal vapor is chosen as the
111     target reference state. There are several examples of liquid state
112     free energy calculations of water models present in the
113     literature.\cite{Hermens88,Quintana92,Mezei92,Baez95b} These methods
114     typically differ in regard to the path taken for switching off the
115     interaction potential to convert the system to an ideal gas of water
116     molecules. In this study, we applied of one of the most convenient
117     methods and integrated over the $\lambda^4$ path, where all
118     interaction parameters are scaled equally by this transformation
119     parameter. This method has been shown to be reversible and provide
120     results in excellent agreement with other established
121     methods.\cite{Baez95b}
122    
123     Charge, dipole, and Lennard-Jones interactions were modified by a
124     cubic switching between 100\% and 85\% of the cutoff value (9 \AA).
125     By applying this function, these interactions are smoothly truncated,
126     thereby avoiding the poor energy conservation which results from
127     harsher truncation schemes. The effect of a long-range correction was
128     also investigated on select model systems in a variety of manners.
129     For the SSD/RF model, a reaction field with a fixed dielectric
130     constant of 80 was applied in all simulations.\cite{Onsager36} For a
131     series of the least computationally expensive models (SSD/E, SSD/RF,
132     TIP3P, and SPC/E), simulations were performed with longer cutoffs of
133     10.5, 12, 13.5, and 15 \AA\ to compare with the 9 \AA\ cutoff results.
134     Finally, the affects provided by an Ewald summation were estimated for
135     TIP3P and SPC/E by performing single configuration calculations with
136     Particle-Mesh Ewald (PME) in the TINKER molecular mechanics software
137     package.\cite{Tinker} The calculated energy difference in the presence
138     and absence of PME was applied to the previous results in order to
139     predict changes to the free energy landscape.
140    
141 chrisfen 1879 Additionally, $g_{OO}(r)$ and $S(\vec{q})$ plots were generated for
142     the two Ice-{\it i} variants (along with example ice $I_h$ and $I_c$
143     plots) at 77K, and they are shown in figures \ref{fig:gofr} and
144     \ref{fig:sofq}. The $S(\vec{q})$ is related to a three dimensional
145     Fourier transform of the radial distribution function, which
146     simplifies to the following expression:
147    
148     \begin{equation}
149     S(q) = 1 + 4\pi\rho\int_{0}^{\infty} r^2 \frac{\sin kr}{kr}g_{OO}(r)dr,
150     \label{sofqEq}
151     \end{equation}
152    
153     where $\rho$ is the number density. To obtain a good estimation of
154     $S(\vec{q})$, $g_{OO}(r)$ needs to extend to large $r$ values. Thus,
155     simulations to obtain these plots were run on crystals eight times the
156     size of those used in the thermodynamic integrations.

163     simulations composed of TIP4P water.}

172     width) to compensate for the trunction effects in our finite size
173     simulations.}
