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} |

105 |
constants for the harmonic springs restraining motion in the $\theta$ |
106 |
and $\omega$ directions.} |

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 |
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. |

simulations.} |
