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 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 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

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.}

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.

141 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.}
