The first system considered was liquid water at 300K using the SPC/E |
| 36 |
+ |
model of water.\cite{Berendsen87} The results for the energy gap |
| 37 |
+ |
comparisons and the force and torque vector magnitude comparisons are |
| 38 |
+ |
shown in table \ref{tab:spce}. The force and torque vector |
| 39 |
+ |
directionality results are displayed separately in table |
| 40 |
+ |
\ref{tab:spceAng}, where the effect of group-based cutoffs and |
| 41 |
+ |
switching functions on the {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} potentials are |
| 42 |
+ |
investigated. |

| 141 |
> |
The water results appear to parallel the combined results seen in the |
| 142 |
> |
discussion section of the main paper. There is good agreement with |
| 143 |
> |
{\sc spme} in both energetic and dynamic behavior when using the {\sc sf} |
| 144 |
> |
method with and without damping. The {\sc sp} method does well with an |
| 145 |
> |
$\alpha$ around 0.2 \AA$^{-1}$, particularly with cutoff radii greater |
| 146 |
> |
than 12 \AA. Overdamping the electrostatics reduces the agreement between both these methods and {\sc spme}. |
| 147 |
> |
|
| 148 |
> |
The pure cutoff ({\sc pc}) method performs poorly, again mirroring the |
| 149 |
> |
observations in the main portion of this paper. In contrast to the |
| 150 |
> |
combined values, however, the use of a switching function and group |
| 151 |
> |
based cutoffs greatly improves the results for these neutral water |
| 152 |
> |
molecules. The group switched cutoff ({\sc gsc}) does not mimic the |
| 153 |
> |
energetics of {\sc spme} as well as the {\sc sp} (with moderate |
| 154 |
> |
damping) and {\sc sf} methods, but the dynamics are quite good. The |
| 155 |
> |
switching functions correct discontinuities in the potential and |
| 156 |
> |
forces, leading to these improved results. Such improvements with the |
| 157 |
> |
use of a switching function have been recognized in previous |
| 158 |
> |
studies,\cite{Andrea83,Steinbach94} and this proves to be a useful |
| 159 |
> |
tactic for stably incorporating local area electrostatic effects. |
| 160 |
> |
|
| 161 |
> |
The reaction field ({\sc rf}) method simply extends upon the results |
| 162 |
> |
observed in the {\sc gsc} case. Both methods are similar in form |
| 163 |
> |
(i.e. neutral groups, switching function), but {\sc rf} incorporates |
| 164 |
> |
an added effect from the external dielectric. This similarity |
| 165 |
> |
translates into the same good dynamic results and improved energetic |
| 166 |
> |
agreement with {\sc spme}. Though this agreement is not to the level |
| 167 |
> |
of the moderately damped {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods, these results |
| 168 |
> |
show how incorporating some implicit properties of the surroundings |
| 169 |
> |
(i.e. $\epsilon_\textrm{S}$) can improve the solvent depiction. |
| 170 |
> |
|
| 171 |
> |
As a final note for the liquid water system, use of group cutoffs and a |
| 172 |
> |
switching function leads to noticeable improvements in the {\sc sp} |
| 173 |
> |
and {\sc sf} methods, primarily in directionality of the force and |
| 174 |
> |
torque vectors (table \ref{tab:spceAng}). The {\sc sp} method shows |
| 175 |
> |
significant narrowing of the angle distribution when using little to |
| 176 |
> |
no damping and only modest improvement for the recommended conditions |
| 177 |
> |
($\alpha$ = 0.2 \AA${-1}$ and $R_\textrm{c} \geqslant 12$~\AA). The |
| 178 |
> |
{\sc sf} method shows modest narrowing across all damping and cutoff |
| 179 |
> |
ranges of interest. When overdamping these methods, group cutoffs and |
| 180 |
> |
the switching function do not improve the force and torque |
| 181 |

directionalities. |

Highly ordered systems are a difficult test for the pairwise methods |
| 288 |

in that they lack the periodicity term of the Ewald summation. As |
| 289 |

expected, the energy gap agreement with {\sc spme} is reduced for the |
| 290 |

{\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods with parameters that were acceptable for |

the disordered liquid system. Moving to higher $R_\textrm{c}$ helps |

improve the agreement, though at an increase in computational cost. |
| 293 |

The dynamics of this crystalline system (both in magnitude and |

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

behavior with the same parameter recommendations from the previous |

|
| 298 |

It is also worth noting that {\sc rf} exhibits improved energy gap |
| 299 |
+ |
results over the liquid water system. One possible explanation is |
| 300 |
+ |
that the ice I$_\textrm{c}$ crystal is ordered such that the net |
| 301 |
+ |
dipole moment of the crystal is zero. With $\epsilon_\textrm{S} = |
| 302 |
+ |
\infty$, the reaction field incorporates this structural organization |
| 303 |
+ |
by actively enforcing a zeroed dipole moment within each cutoff |
| 304 |

sphere. |

The molten NaCl system shows more sensitivity to the electrostatic |

damping than the water systems. The most noticeable point is that the |
| 378 |

undamped {\sc sf} method does very well at replicating the {\sc spme} |
| 379 |

configurational energy differences and forces. Light damping appears |
| 380 |

to minimally improve the dynamics, but this comes with a deterioration |
| 381 |
> |
of the energy gap results. In contrast, this light damping improves |
| 382 |

the {\sc sp} energy gaps and forces. Moderate and heavy electrostatic |
| 383 |
> |
damping reduce the agreement with {\sc spme} for both methods. From |
| 384 |

these observations, the undamped {\sc sf} method is the best choice |

for disordered systems of charges. |

\section{\label{app-sol1}Weak NaCl Solution} |
| 464 |

The crystalline NaCl system is the most challenging test case for the |
| 465 |
> |
pairwise summation methods, as evidenced by the results in tables |
| 466 |
> |
\ref{tab:salt} and \ref{tab:saltAng}. The undamped and weakly damped |
| 467 |
> |
{\sc sf} methods with a 12 \AA\ cutoff radius seem to be the best |
| 468 |
> |
choices. These methods match well with {\sc spme} across the energy |
| 469 |
> |
gap, force magnitude, and force directionality tests. The {\sc sp} |
| 470 |
> |
method struggles in all cases, with the exception of good dynamics |
| 471 |
> |
reproduction when using weak electrostatic damping with a large cutoff |
| 472 |
> |
radius. |
| 473 |
|
|
| 474 |
+ |
The moderate electrostatic damping case is not as good as we would |
| 475 |
+ |
expect given the long-time dynamics results observed for this |
| 476 |
+ |
system. Since the data tabulated in tables \ref{tab:salt} and |
| 477 |
+ |
\ref{tab:saltAng} are a test of instantaneous dynamics, this indicates |
| 478 |
+ |
that good long-time dynamics comes in part at the expense of |
| 479 |
+ |
short-time dynamics. |

In an effort to bridge the charged atomic and neutral molecular |

systems, Na$^+$ and Cl$^-$ ion charge defects were incorporated into |
| 485 |

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

ions in the 1000 SPC/E water solvent ($\approx$0.11 M). The results |

for the energy gap comparisons and the force and torque vector |

force and torque vector directionality results are displayed |

Because this system is a perturbation of the pure liquid water system, |

comparisons are best drawn between these two sets. The {\sc sp} and |
| 594 |

{\sc sf} methods are not significantly affected by the inclusion of a |

regarding these methods carry over from section \ref{app:water}. The |

differences between these systems are more visible for the {\sc rf} |

The {\sc rf} method struggles with the jump in ionic strength. The |

configuration energy differences degrade to unusable levels while the |

forces and torques show a more modest reduction in the agreement with |

The {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods require larger cutoffs to maintain |

their agreement with {\sc spme}. With these results, we still |

recommend no to moderate damping for the {\sc sf} method and moderate |

damping for the {\sc sp} method, both with cutoffs greater than 12 |
