studied methods with smooth particle-mesh Ewald. Each of the seven |
| 28 |
systems comprises its own section and has its own discussion and |
| 29 |
tabular listing of the results for the $\Delta E$, force and torque |

500 liquid state configurations were generated as described in the |
| 35 |
Methods section using the SPC/E model of water.\cite{Berendsen87} The |
| 36 |
results for the energy gap comparisons and the force and torque vector |
| 37 |
magnitude comparisons are shown in table \ref{tab:spce}. The force |
| 38 |
and torque vector directionality results are displayed separately in |
| 39 |
table \ref{tab:spceAng}, where the effect of group-based cutoffs and |
| 40 |
switching functions on the {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} potentials are |
| 41 |
investigated. |

For the most parts, the water results appear to parallel the combined |
| 141 |
results seen in the discussion in the main paper. There is good |
| 142 |
agreement with SPME in both energetic and dynamic behavior when using |
| 143 |
the {\sc sf} method with and without damping. The {\sc sp} method does |
| 144 |
well with an $\alpha$ around 0.2 \AA$^{-1}$, particularly with cutoff |
| 145 |
radii greater than 12 \AA. The results for both of these methods also |
| 146 |
begin to decay as damping gets too large. |
| 147 |
|
| 148 |
The pure cutoff (PC) method performs poorly, as seen in the main |
| 149 |
discussion section. In contrast to the combined values, however, the |
| 150 |
use of a switching function and group based cutoffs really improves |
| 151 |
the results for these neutral water molecules. The group switched |
| 152 |
cutoff (GSC) shows mimics the energetics of SPME more poorly than the |
| 153 |
{\sc sp} (with moderate damping) and {\sc sf} methods, but the |
| 154 |
dynamics are quite good. The switching functions corrects |
| 155 |
discontinuities in the potential and forces, leading to the improved |
| 156 |
results. Such improvements with the use of a switching function has |
| 157 |
been recognized in previous studies,\cite{Andrea83,Steinbach94} and it |
| 158 |
is a useful tactic for stably incorporating local area electrostatic |
| 159 |
effects. |
| 160 |
|
| 161 |
The reaction field (RF) method simply extends the results observed in |
| 162 |
the GSC case. Both methods are similar in form (i.e. neutral groups, |
| 163 |
switching function), but RF incorporates an added effect from the |
| 164 |
external dielectric. This similarity translates into the same good |
| 165 |
dynamic results and improved energetic results. These still fall |
| 166 |
short of the moderately damped {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods, but they |
| 167 |
display how incorporating some implicit properties of the surroundings |
| 168 |
(i.e. $\epsilon_\textrm{S}$) can improve results. |
| 169 |
|
| 170 |
A final note for the liquid water system, use of group cutoffs and a |
| 171 |
switching function also leads to noticeable improvements in the {\sc |
| 172 |
sp} and {\sc sf} methods, primarily in directionality of the force and |
| 173 |
torque vectors (table \ref{tab:spceAng}). {\sc sp} shows significant |
| 174 |
narrowing of the angle distribution in the cases with little to no |
| 175 |
damping and only modest improvement for the ideal conditions ($\alpha$ |
| 176 |
= 0.2 \AA${-1}$ and $R_\textrm{c} \geqslant 12$~\AA). The {\sc sf} |
| 177 |
method simply shows modest narrowing across all damping and cutoff |
| 178 |
ranges of interest. Group cutoffs and the switching function do |
| 179 |
nothing for cases were error is introduced by overdamping the |
| 180 |
potentials. |

Highly ordered systems are a difficult test for the pairwise systems |
| 287 |
in that they lack the periodicity inherent to the Ewald summation. As |
| 288 |
expected, the energy gap agreement with SPME reduces for the {\sc sp} |
| 289 |
and {\sc sf} with parameters that were perfectly acceptable for the |
| 290 |
disordered liquid system. Moving to higher $R_\textrm{c}$ remedies |
| 291 |
this degraded performance, though at increase in computational cost. |
| 292 |
However, the dynamics of this crystalline system (both in magnitude |
| 293 |
and direction) are little affected. Both methods still reproduce the |
| 294 |
Ewald behavior with the same parameter recommendations from the |
| 295 |
previous section. |
| 296 |
|
| 297 |
It is also worth noting that RF exhibits a slightly improved energy |
| 298 |
gap results over the liquid water system. One possible explanation is |
| 299 |
that the ice I$_\textrm{c}$ crystal is ordered such that the net |
| 300 |
dipole moment of the crystal is zero. With $\epsilon_\textrm{S} = |
| 301 |
\infty$, the reaction field incorporates this structural organization |
| 302 |
by actively enforcing a zeroed dipole moment within each cutoff |
| 303 |
sphere. |

The molten NaCl system shows more sensitivity to the electrostatic |
| 378 |
damping than the water systems. The most noticeable point is that the |
| 379 |
undamped {\sc sf} method does very well at replicating the {\sc spme} |
| 380 |
configurational energy differences and forces. Light damping appears |
| 381 |
to minimally improve the dynamics, but this comes with a deterioration |
| 382 |
of the energy gap results. In contrast, this light damping improves |
| 383 |
the {\sc sp} energy gaps and forces. Moderate and heavy electrostatic |
| 384 |
damping reduce the agreement with {\sc spme} for both methods. From |
| 385 |
these observations, the undamped {\sc sf} method is the best choice |
| 386 |
for disordered systems of charges. |

The crystalline NaCl system is the most challenging test case for the |
| 468 |
pairwise summation methods, as evidenced by the results in tables |
| 469 |
\ref{tab:salt} and \ref{tab:saltAng}. The undamped and weakly damped |
| 470 |
{\sc sf} methods with a 12 \AA\ cutoff radius seem to be the best |
| 471 |
choices. These methods match well with {\sc spme} across the energy |
| 472 |
gap, force magnitude, and force directionality tests. The {\sc sp} |
| 473 |
method struggles in all cases with the exception of good dynamics |
| 474 |
reproduction when using weak electrostatic damping with a large cutoff |
| 475 |
radius. |
| 476 |
|
| 477 |
The moderate electrostatic damping case is not as good as we would |
| 478 |
expect given the good long-time dynamics results observed for this |
| 479 |
system. Since these results are a test of instantaneous dynamics, this |
| 480 |
indicates that good long-time dynamics comes in part at the expense of |
| 481 |
short-time dynamics. Further indication of this comes from the full |
| 482 |
power spectra shown in the main text. It appears as though a |
| 483 |
distortion is introduced between 200 to 300 cm$^{-1}$ with increased |
| 484 |
$\alpha$. |

This weak ionic strength system can be considered as a perturbation of |
| 599 |
the pure liquid water system. The {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods are |
| 600 |
not significantly affected by the inclusion of a few ions. The aspect |
| 601 |
of cutoff sphere neutralization aids in the smooth incorporation of |
| 602 |
these ions; thus, all of the observations regarding these methods |
| 603 |
carry over from section \ref{app:water}. The differences between these |
| 604 |
systems are visible for the {\sc rf} method. Though good force |
| 605 |
reproduction is still maintained, the energy gaps show a significant |
| 606 |
increase in the data scatter. This foreshadows the breakdown of the |
| 607 |
method as we introduce system inhomogeneities. |

The bridging of the charged atomic and neutral molecular systems was |
| 612 |
further developed by considering a high ionic strength system |
| 613 |
consisting of 40 ions in the 1000 SPC/E water solvent ($\approx$1.1 |
| 614 |
M). The results for the energy gap comparisons and the force and |
| 615 |
torque vector magnitude comparisons are shown in table |
| 616 |
\ref{tab:solnWeak}. The force and torque vector directionality |
| 617 |
results are displayed separately in table\ref{tab:solnWeakAng}, where |
| 618 |
the effect of group-based cutoffs and switching functions on the {\sc |
| 619 |
sp} and {\sc sf} potentials are investigated. |

The {\sc rf} method struggles with the jump in ionic strength. The |
| 715 |
configuration energy difference degrade to unuseable levels while the |
| 716 |
forces and torques degrade in a more modest fashion. The {\sc rf} |
| 717 |
method was designed for homogeneous systems, and this restriction is |
| 718 |
apparent in these results. |
| 719 |
|
| 720 |
The {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods require larger cutoffs to maintain |
| 721 |
their agreement with {\sc spme}. With these results, we still |
| 722 |
recommend no to moderate damping for the {\sc sf} method and moderate |
| 723 |
damping for the {\sc sp} method, both with cutoffs greater than 12 |
| 724 |
\AA. |

The final model system studied was 6 \AA\ sphere of Argon solvated by |
| 729 |
SPC/E water. The results for the energy gap comparisons and the force |
| 730 |
and torque vector magnitude comparisons are shown in table |
| 731 |
\ref{tab:solnWeak}. The force and torque vector directionality |
| 732 |
results are displayed separately in table \ref{tab:solnWeakAng}, where |
| 733 |
the effect of group-based cutoffs and switching functions on the {\sc |
| 734 |
sp} and {\sc sf} potentials are investigated. |

This system appears not to show in any significant deviation in the previously observed results. The {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods give result qualities similar to those observed in section \ref{app:water}. The only significant difference is the improvement for the configuration energy differences for the {\sc rf} method. This is surprising in that we are introducing an inhomogeneity to the system; however, this inhomogeneity is charge-neutral and does not result in charged cutoff spheres. The charge-neutrality, which the {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods explicity enforce, seems to play a greater role in the stability of the {\sc rf} method than the necessity of a homogeneous environment. |
