We have investigated the structural and dynamic properties of the |
28 |
|
|
basal and prismatic facets of an ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ / water |
29 |
|
|
interface when the solid phase is being drawn through the liquid |
30 |
|
|
(i.e. sheared relative to the fluid phase). To impose the shear, we |
31 |
|
|
utilized a velocity-shearing and scaling (VSS) approach to reverse |
32 |
|
|
non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD). This method can create |
33 |
|
|
simultaneous temperature and velocity gradients and allow the |
34 |
|
|
measurement of transport properties at interfaces. The interfacial |
35 |
|
|
width was found to be independent of relative velocity of the ice |
36 |
|
|
and liquid layers over a wide range of shear rates. Decays of |
37 |
|
|
molecular orientational time correlation functions for gave very |
38 |
|
|
similar estimates for the width of the interfaces, although the |
39 |
|
|
short- and longer-time decay components of the orientational |
40 |
|
|
correlation functions behave differently closer to the interface. |
41 |
|
|
Although both facets of ice are in ``stick'' boundary conditions in |
42 |
|
|
liquid water, the solid-liquid friction coefficient was found to be |
43 |
|
|
different for the basal and prismatic facets of ice. |

Understanding the ice/water interface is essential for explaining |
59 |
|
|
complex processes such as nucleation and crystal |
60 |
|
|
growth,\cite{Han92,Granasy95,Vanfleet95} crystal |
61 |
|
|
melting,\cite{Weber83,Han92,Sakai96,Sakai96B} and some fascinating |
62 |
|
|
biological processes, such as the behavior of the antifreeze proteins |
63 |
|
|
found in winter flounder,\cite{Wierzbicki07, Chapsky97} and certain |
64 |
|
|
terrestrial arthropods.\cite{Duman:2001qy,Meister29012013} There has |
65 |
|
|
been significant progress on understanding the structure and dynamics |
66 |
|
|
of quiescent ice/water interfaces utilizing both theory and |
67 |
|
|
experiment. Haymet \emph{et al.} have done extensive work on ice I$_\mathrm{h}$, |
68 |
|
|
including characterizing and determining the width of the ice/water |
69 |
|
|
interface for the SPC, SPC/E, CF1, and TIP4P models for |
70 |
|
|
water.\cite{Karim87,Karim88,Karim90,Hayward01,Bryk02,Hayward02,Gay02} |
71 |
|
|
More recently, Haymet \emph{et al.} have investigated the effects |
72 |
|
|
cations and anions have on crystal |
73 |
|
|
nucleation\cite{Bryk04,Smith05,Wilson08,Wilson10}. Nada \emph{et al.} |
74 |
|
|
have also studied ice/water |
75 |
|
|
interfaces,\cite{Nada95,Nada00,Nada03,Nada12} and have found that the |
76 |
|
|
differential growth rates of the facets of ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ are due to the the |
77 |
|
|
reordering of the hydrogen bonding network\cite{Nada05}. |

The movement of liquid water over the facets of ice has been less |
80 |
|
|
thoroughly studied than the quiescent surfaces. This process is |
81 |
|
|
potentially important in understanding transport of large blocks of |
82 |
|
|
ice in water (which has important implications in the earth sciences), |
83 |
|
|
as well as the relative motion of crystal-crystal interfaces that have |
84 |
|
|
been separated by nanometer-scale fluid domains. In addition to |
85 |
|
|
understanding both the structure and thickness of the interfacial |
86 |
|
|
regions, it is important to understand the molecular origin of |
87 |
|
|
friction, drag, and other changes in dynamical properties of the |
88 |
|
|
liquid in the regions close to the surface that are altered by the |
89 |
|
|
presence of a shearing of the bulk fluid relative to the solid phase. |

In this work, we apply a recently-developed velocity shearing and |
92 |
|
|
scaling approach to reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics |
93 |
|
|
(VSS-RNEMD). This method makes it possible to calculate transport |
94 |
|
|
properties like the interfacial thermal conductance across |
95 |
|
|
heterogeneous interfaces,\cite{Kuang12} and can create simultaneous |
96 |
|
|
temperature and velocity gradients and allow the measurement of |
97 |
|
|
friction and thermal transport properties at interfaces. This has |
98 |
|
|
allowed us to investigate the width of the ice/water interface as the |
99 |
|
|
ice is sheared through the liquid, while simultaneously imposing a |
100 |
|
|
weak thermal gradient to prevent frictional heating of the interface. |
101 |
|
|
In the sections that follow, we discuss the methodology for creating |
102 |
|
|
and simulating ice/water interfaces under shear and provide results |
103 |
|
|
from both structural and dynamical correlation functions. We also |
104 |
|
|
show that the solid-liquid interfacial friction coefficient depends |
105 |
|
|
sensitively on the details of the surface morphology. |

110 |

3946 |
The structure of ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ is well understood; it |
112 |
gezelter |
3914 |
crystallizes in a hexagonal space group P$6_3/mmc$, and the hexagonal |
113 |
|
|
crystals of ice have two faces that are commonly exposed, the basal |
114 |
|
|
face $\{0~0~0~1\}$, which forms the top and bottom of each hexagonal |
115 |
|
|
plate, and the prismatic $\{1~0~\bar{1}~0\}$ face which forms the |
116 |
|
|
sides of the plate. Other less-common, but still important, faces of |
117 |
gezelter |
3945 |
ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ are the secondary prism, $\{1~1~\bar{2}~0\}$, and |
118 |
gezelter |
3946 |
pyramidal, $\{2~0~\bar{2}~1\}$, faces. Ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ is normally |
119 |
|
|
proton disordered in bulk crystals, although the surfaces probably |
120 |
|
|
have a preference for proton ordering along strips of dangling H-atoms |
121 |
|
|
and Oxygen lone pairs.\cite{Buch:2008fk} |

For small simulated ice interfaces, it is useful to work with |
140 |
|
|
proton-ordered, but zero-dipole crystal that exposes these strips of |
141 |
|
|
dangling H-atoms and lone pairs. When placing another material in |
142 |
|
|
contact with one of the ice crystalline planes, it is also quite |
143 |
|
|
useful to have an orthorhombic (rectangular) box. Recent work by |
144 |
|
|
Hirsch and Ojam\"{a}e describes a number of alternative crystal |
145 |
|
|
systems for proton-ordered bulk ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ using orthorhombic |
146 |
|
|
cells.\cite{Hirsch04} |
147 |
|
|
|
148 |
|
|
In this work, we are using Hirsch and Ojam\"{a}e's structure 6 which |
149 |
|
|
is an orthorhombic cell ($P2_12_12_1$) that produces a proton-ordered |
150 |
|
|
version of ice I$_\mathrm{h}$. Table \ref{tab:equiv} contains a |
151 |
|
|
mapping between the Miller indices of common ice facets in the |
152 |
|
|
P$6_3/mmc$ crystal system and those in the Hirsch and Ojam\"{a}e |
153 |
|
|
$P2_12_12_1$ system. |
154 |
|
|
|
155 |
gezelter |
3914 |
Structure 6 from the Hirsch and Ojam\"{a}e paper has lattice |
156 |
|
|
parameters $a = 4.49225$, $b = 7.78080$, $c = 7.33581$ and two water |
157 |
gezelter |
3945 |
molecules whose atoms reside at fractional coordinates given in table |
158 |
|
|
\ref{tab:p212121}. To construct the basal and prismatic interfaces, |
159 |
|
|
these crystallographic coordinates were used to construct an |
160 |
|
|
orthorhombic unit cell which was then replicated in all three |
161 |
|
|
dimensions yielding a proton-ordered block of ice I$_{h}$. To expose |
162 |
|
|
the desired face, the orthorhombic representation was then cut along |
163 |
|
|
the ($001$) or ($100$) planes for the basal and prismatic faces |
164 |
|
|
respectively. The resulting block was rotated so that the exposed |
165 |
gezelter |
3946 |
faces were aligned with the $z$-axis normal to the exposed face. The |
166 |
|
|
block was then cut along two perpendicular directions in a way that |
167 |
|
|
allowed for perfect periodic replication in the $x$ and $y$ axes, |
168 |
gezelter |
3945 |
creating a slab with either the basal or prismatic faces exposed along |
169 |
|
|
the $z$ axis. The slab was then replicated in the $x$ and $y$ |
170 |
|
|
dimensions until a desired sample size was obtained. |

Our ice / water interfaces were created using a box of liquid water |
189 |
|
|
that had the same dimensions (in $x$ and $y$) as the ice block. |
190 |
|
|
Although the experimental solid/liquid coexistence temperature under |
191 |
|
|
atmospheric pressure is close to 273K, Haymet \emph{et al.} have done |
192 |
|
|
extensive work on characterizing the ice/water interface, and find |
193 |
|
|
that the coexistence temperature for simulated water is often quite a |
194 |
|
|
bit different.\cite{Karim88,Karim90,Hayward01,Bryk02,Hayward02} They |
195 |
|
|
have found that for the SPC/E water model,\cite{Berendsen87} which is |
196 |
|
|
also used in this study, the ice/water interface is most stable at |
197 |
|
|
225$\pm$5K.\cite{Bryk02} This liquid box was therefore equilibrated at |
198 |
|
|
225 K and 1 atm of pressure in the NPAT ensemble (with the $z$ axis |
199 |
|
|
allowed to fluctuate to equilibrate to the correct pressure). The |
200 |
|
|
liquid and solid systems were combined by carving out any water |
201 |
|
|
molecule from the liquid simulation cell that was within 3 \AA\ of any |
202 |
|
|
atom in the ice slab. |
203 |
gezelter |
3914 |
|
204 |
|
|
Molecular translation and orientational restraints were applied in the |
205 |
|
|
early stages of equilibration to prevent melting of the ice slab. |
206 |
|
|
These restraints were removed during NVT equilibration, well before |
207 |
gezelter |
3945 |
data collection was carried out. |

\subsection{Shearing ice / water interfaces without bulk melting} |
210 |
|
|
|
211 |
gezelter |
3945 |
As a solid is dragged through a liquid, there is frictional heating |
212 |
|
|
that will act to melt the interface. To study the behavior of the |
213 |
|
|
interface under a shear stress without causing the interface to melt, |
214 |
gezelter |
3946 |
it is necessary to apply a weak thermal gradient in combination with |
215 |
|
|
the momentum gradient. This can be accomplished using the velocity |
216 |
gezelter |
3945 |
shearing and scaling (VSS) variant of reverse non-equilibrium |
217 |
|
|
molecular dynamics (RNEMD), which utilizes a series of simultaneous |
218 |
|
|
velocity exchanges between two regions within the simulation |
219 |
|
|
cell.\cite{Kuang12} One of these regions is centered within the ice |
220 |
gezelter |
3946 |
slab, while the other is centrally located in the liquid |
221 |
gezelter |
3918 |
region. VSS-RNEMD provides a set of conservation constraints for |
222 |
gezelter |
3946 |
creating either a momentum flux or a thermal flux (or both |
223 |
|
|
simultaneously) between the two slabs. Satisfying the constraint |
224 |
|
|
equations ensures that the new configurations are sampled from the |
225 |
|
|
same NVE ensemble as before the VSS move. |
226 |
gezelter |
3918 |
|
227 |
|
|
The VSS moves are applied periodically to scale and shift the particle |
228 |
|
|
velocities ($\mathbf{v}_i$ and $\mathbf{v}_j$) in two slabs ($H$ and |
229 |
|
|
$C$) which are separated by half of the simulation box, |
230 |
|
|
\begin{displaymath} |
231 |
|
|
\begin{array}{rclcl} |
232 |
|
|
|
233 |
|
|
& \underline{\mathrm{shearing}} & & |
234 |
|
|
\underline{~~~~~~~~~~~~\mathrm{scaling}~~~~~~~~~~~~} \\ |
235 |
|
|
\mathbf{v}_i \leftarrow & |
236 |
|
|
\mathbf{a}_c\ & + & c\cdot\left(\mathbf{v}_i - \langle\mathbf{v}_c |
237 |
|
|
\rangle\right) + \langle\mathbf{v}_c\rangle \\ |
238 |
|
|
\mathbf{v}_j \leftarrow & |
239 |
|
|
\mathbf{a}_h & + & h\cdot\left(\mathbf{v}_j - \langle\mathbf{v}_h |
240 |
|
|
\rangle\right) + \langle\mathbf{v}_h\rangle . |
241 |
|
|
|
242 |
|
|
\end{array} |
243 |
|
|
\end{displaymath} |
244 |
|
|
Here $\langle\mathbf{v}_c\rangle$ and $\langle\mathbf{v}_h\rangle$ are |
245 |
|
|
the center of mass velocities in the $C$ and $H$ slabs, respectively. |
246 |
|
|
Within the two slabs, particles receive incremental changes or a |
247 |
|
|
``shear'' to their velocities. The amount of shear is governed by the |
248 |
|
|
imposed momentum flux, $\mathbf{j}_z(\mathbf{p})$ |
249 |
|
|
\begin{eqnarray} |
250 |
|
|
\mathbf{a}_c & = & - \mathbf{j}_z(\mathbf{p}) \Delta t / M_c \label{vss1}\\ |
251 |
|
|
\mathbf{a}_h & = & + \mathbf{j}_z(\mathbf{p}) \Delta t / M_h \label{vss2} |
252 |
|
|
\end{eqnarray} |
253 |
|
|
where $M_{\{c,h\}}$ is the total mass of particles within each of the |
254 |
|
|
slabs and $\Delta t$ is the interval between two separate operations. |
255 |
|
|
|
256 |
|
|
To simultaneously impose a thermal flux ($J_z$) between the slabs we |
257 |
|
|
use energy conservation constraints, |
258 |
|
|
\begin{eqnarray} |
259 |
|
|
K_c - J_z\Delta t & = & c^2 (K_c - \frac{1}{2}M_c \langle\mathbf{v}_c |
260 |
|
|
\rangle^2) + \frac{1}{2}M_c (\langle \mathbf{v}_c \rangle + \mathbf{a}_c)^2 \label{vss3}\\ |
261 |
|
|
K_h + J_z\Delta t & = & h^2 (K_h - \frac{1}{2}M_h \langle\mathbf{v}_h |
262 |
|
|
\rangle^2) + \frac{1}{2}M_h (\langle \mathbf{v}_h \rangle + |
263 |
|
|
\mathbf{a}_h)^2 \label{vss4}. |
264 |
|
|
\label{constraint} |
265 |
|
|
\end{eqnarray} |
266 |
|
|
Simultaneous solution of these quadratic formulae for the scaling |
267 |
|
|
coefficients, $c$ and $h$, will ensure that the simulation samples from |
268 |
|
|
the original microcanonical (NVE) ensemble. Here $K_{\{c,h\}}$ is the |
269 |
|
|
instantaneous translational kinetic energy of each slab. At each time |
270 |
|
|
interval, it is a simple matter to solve for $c$, $h$, $\mathbf{a}_c$, |
271 |
|
|
and $\mathbf{a}_h$, subject to the imposed momentum flux, |
272 |
|
|
$j_z(\mathbf{p})$, and thermal flux, $J_z$, values. Since the VSS |
273 |
|
|
operations do not change the kinetic energy due to orientational |
274 |
|
|
degrees of freedom or the potential energy of a system, configurations |
275 |
|
|
after the VSS move have exactly the same energy (and linear |
276 |
|
|
momentum) as before the move. |
277 |
|
|
|
278 |
|
|
As the simulation progresses, the VSS moves are performed on a regular |
279 |
|
|
basis, and the system develops a thermal and/or velocity gradient in |
280 |
gezelter |
3945 |
response to the applied flux. In a bulk material, it is quite simple |
281 |
gezelter |
3918 |
to use the slope of the temperature or velocity gradients to obtain |
282 |
gezelter |
3945 |
either the thermal conductivity or shear viscosity. |
283 |
gezelter |
3918 |
|
284 |
|
|
The VSS-RNEMD approach is versatile in that it may be used to |
285 |
|
|
implement thermal and shear transport simultaneously. Perturbations |
286 |
|
|
of velocities away from the ideal Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions are |
287 |
|
|
minimal, as is thermal anisotropy. This ability to generate |
288 |
|
|
simultaneous thermal and shear fluxes has been previously utilized to |
289 |
|
|
map out the shear viscosity of SPC/E water over a wide range of |
290 |
|
|
temperatures (90~K) with a single 1 ns simulation.\cite{Kuang12} |
291 |
|
|
|
292 |
gezelter |
3945 |
For this work, we are using the VSS-RNEMD method primarily to generate |
293 |
|
|
a shear between the ice slab and the liquid phase, while using a weak |
294 |
gezelter |
3946 |
thermal gradient to maintain the interface at the 225K target |
295 |
|
|
value. This ensures minimal melting of the bulk ice phase and allows |
296 |
|
|
us to control the exact temperature of the interface. |

\subsection{Computational Details} |
299 |
gezelter |
3945 |
All simulations were performed using OpenMD,\cite{OOPSE,openmd} with a |
300 |
|
|
time step of 2 fs and periodic boundary conditions in all three |
301 |
|
|
dimensions. Electrostatics were handled using the damped-shifted |
302 |
|
|
force real-space electrostatic kernel.\cite{Ewald} The systems were |
303 |
|
|
divided into 100 bins along the $z$-axis for the VSS-RNEMD moves, |
304 |
|
|
which were attempted every 50 fs. |
305 |
gezelter |
3897 |
|
306 |
gezelter |
3945 |
The interfaces were equilibrated for a total of 10 ns at equilibrium |
307 |
|
|
conditions before being exposed to either a shear or thermal gradient. |
308 |
|
|
This consisted of 5 ns under a constant temperature (NVT) integrator |
309 |
|
|
set to 225K followed by 5 ns under a microcanonical integrator. Weak |
310 |
|
|
thermal gradients were allowed to develop using the VSS-RNEMD (NVE) |
311 |
|
|
integrator using a a small thermal flux ($-2.0\times 10^{-6}$ |
312 |
|
|
kcal/mol/\AA$^2$/fs) for a duration of 5 ns to allow the gradient to |
313 |
gezelter |
3946 |
stabilize. The resulting temperature gradient was $\approx$ 10K over |
314 |
|
|
the entire 100 \AA\ box length, which was sufficient to keep the |
315 |
gezelter |
3945 |
temperature at the interface within $\pm 1$ K of the 225K target. |
316 |
gezelter |
3897 |
|
317 |
gezelter |
3945 |
Velocity gradients were then imposed using the VSS-RNEMD (NVE) |
318 |
|
|
integrator with a range of momentum fluxes. These gradients were |
319 |
|
|
allowed to stabilize for 1 ns before data collection began. Once |
320 |
|
|
established, four successive 0.5 ns runs were performed for each shear |
321 |
|
|
rate. During these simulations, snapshots of the system were taken |
322 |
|
|
every 1 ps, and statistics on the structure and dynamics in each bin |
323 |
|
|
were accumulated throughout the simulations. |

\subsection{Interfacial width} |
328 |
|
|
Any order parameter or time correlation function that changes as one |
329 |
|
|
crosses an interface from a bulk liquid to a solid can be used to |
330 |
|
|
measure the width of the interface. In previous work on the ice/water |
331 |
|
|
interface, Haymet {\it et al.}\cite{} have utilized structural |
332 |
|
|
features (including the density) as well as dynamic properties |
333 |
|
|
(including the diffusion constant) to estimate the width of the |
334 |
|
|
interfaces for a number of facets of the ice crystals. Because |
335 |
|
|
VSS-RNEMD imposes a lateral flow, parameters that depend on |
336 |
|
|
translational motion of the molecules (e.g. diffusion) may be |
337 |
|
|
artifically skewed by the RNEMD moves. A structural parameter is not |
338 |
|
|
influenced by the RNEMD perturbations to the same degree. Here, we |
339 |
|
|
have used the local tetraherdal order parameter as described by |
340 |
|
|
Kumar\cite{Kumar09} and Errington\cite{Errington01} as our principal |
341 |
gezelter |
3945 |
measure of the interfacial width. |
342 |
plouden |
3936 |
|
343 |
gezelter |
3945 |
The local tetrahedral order parameter, $q(z)$, is given by |
344 |
gezelter |
3897 |
\begin{equation} |
345 |
gezelter |
3946 |
q(z) = \int_0^L \sum_{k=1}^{N} \Bigg(1 -\frac{3}{8}\sum_{i=1}^{3} |
346 |
|
|
\sum_{j=i+1}^{4} \bigg(\cos\psi_{ikj}+\frac{1}{3}\bigg)^2\Bigg) |
347 |
|
|
\delta(z_{k}-z)\mathrm{d}z \Bigg/ N_z |
348 |
gezelter |
3945 |
\label{eq:qz} |
349 |
gezelter |
3897 |
\end{equation} |
350 |
gezelter |
3945 |
where $\psi_{ikj}$ is the angle formed between the oxygen site on |
351 |
gezelter |
3946 |
central molecule $k$, and the oxygen sites on two of the four closest |
352 |
|
|
molecules, $i$ and $j$. Molecules $i$ and $j$ are further restricted |
353 |
|
|
to lie within the first solvation shell of molecule $k$. $N_z = \int |
354 |
|
|
\delta(z_k - z) \mathrm{d}z$ is a normalization factor to account for |
355 |
|
|
the varying population of molecules within each finite-width bin. The |
356 |
|
|
local tetrahedral order parameter has a range of $(0,1)$, where the |
357 |
|
|
larger values of $q$ indicate a larger degree of tetrahedral ordering |
358 |
|
|
of the local environment. In perfect ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ structures, |
359 |
|
|
the parameter can approach 1 at low temperatures, while in liquid |
360 |
|
|
water, the ordering is significantly less tetrahedral, and values of |
361 |
|
|
$q(z) \approx 0.75$ are more common. |
362 |
plouden |
3909 |
|
363 |
gezelter |
3946 |
To estimate the interfacial width, the system was divided into 100 |
364 |
|
|
bins along the $z$-dimension, and a cutoff radius for the first |
365 |
|
|
solvation shell was set to 3.41 \AA\ . The $q_{z}$ function was |
366 |
|
|
time-averaged to give yield a tetrahedrality profile of the |
367 |
|
|
system. The profile was then fit to a hyperbolic tangent that smoothly |
368 |
|
|
links the liquid and solid states, |
369 |
plouden |
3941 |
\begin{equation}\label{tet_fit} |
370 |
gezelter |
3946 |
q(z) \approx |
371 |
|
|
q_{liq}+\frac{q_{ice}-q_{liq}}{2}\left[\tanh\left(\frac{z-l}{w}\right)-\tanh\left(\frac{z-r}{w}\right)\right]+\beta\left|z- |
372 |
|
|
\frac{r+l}{2}\right|. |
373 |
gezelter |
3897 |
\end{equation} |
374 |
gezelter |
3946 |
Here $q_{liq}$ and $q_{ice}$ are the local tetrahedral order parameter |
375 |
|
|
for the bulk liquid and ice domains, respectively, $w$ is the width of |
376 |
|
|
the interface. $l$ and $r$ are the midpoints of the left and right |
377 |
|
|
interfaces, respectively. The last term in equation \eqref{tet_fit} |
378 |
|
|
accounts for the influence that the weak thermal gradient has on the |
379 |
|
|
tetrahedrality profile in the liquid region. To estimate the |
380 |
|
|
10\%-90\% widths commonly used in previous studies,\cite{} it is a |
381 |
|
|
simple matter to scale the widths obtained from the hyberbolic tangent |
382 |
|
|
fits to obtain $w_{10-90} = 2.9 w$.\cite{} |
383 |
gezelter |
3897 |

384 |
gezelter |
3946 |
In Figures \ref{fig:bComic} and \ref{fig:pComic} we see the |
385 |
|
|
$z$-coordinate profiles for tetrahedrality, temperature, and the |
386 |
|
|
$x$-component of the velocity for the basal and prismatic interfaces. |
387 |
|
|
The lower panels show the $q(z)$ (black circles) along with the |
388 |
|
|
hyperbolic tangent fits (red lines). In the liquid region, the local |
389 |
|
|
tetrahedral order parameter, $q(z) \approx 0.75$ while in the |
390 |
|
|
crystalline region, $q(z) \approx 0.94$, indicating a more tetrahedral |
391 |
|
|
environment. The vertical dotted lines denote the midpoint of the |
392 |
|
|
interfaces ($r$ and $l$ in equation \eqref{tet_fit}). The weak thermal |
393 |
|
|
gradient applied to the systems in order to keep the interface at |
394 |
|
|
225$\pm$5K, can be seen in middle panels. The tranverse velocity |
395 |
|
|
profile is shown in the upper panels. It is clear from the upper |
396 |
|
|
panels that water molecules in close proximity to the surface (i.e. |
397 |
|
|
within 10 \AA\ to 15 \AA\ of the interfaces) have transverse |
398 |
|
|
velocities quite close to the velocities within the ice block. There |
399 |
|
|
is no velocity discontinuity at the interface, which indicates that |
400 |
|
|
the shearing of ice/water interfaces occurs in the ``stick'' or |
401 |
|

no-slip boundary conditions. |

From the fits using equation \eqref{tet_fit}, we find the interfacial |
422 |
|
|
width for the basal and prismatic systems to be 3.2$\pm$0.4 \AA\ and |
423 |
|
|
3.6$\pm$0.2 \AA\ , respectively, with no applied momentum flux. Over |

the range of shear rates investigated, $0.6 \pm 0.3 \mathrm{ms}^{-1} |
425 |

\rightarrow 5.3 \pm 0.5 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ for the basal system and |
426 |
|
|
$0.9 \pm 0.2 \mathrm{ms}^{-1} \rightarrow 4.5 \pm 0.1 |
427 |
|
|
\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ for the prismatic, we found no appreciable change in |
428 |
|
|
the interface width. The fit values for the interfacial width ($w$) |
429 |
|

over all shear rates contained the values reported above within their |

434 |

3941 |
\begin{equation}\label{C(t)1} |

C_{2}(t)=\langle P_{2}(\mathbf{u}(0) \cdot \mathbf{u}(t)) \rangle, |
436 |
plouden |
3941 |
\end{equation} |
437 |
gezelter |
3946 |
gives insight into the local dynamic environment around the water |
438 |
|
|
molecules. The rate at which the function decays provides information |
439 |
|
|
about hindered motions and the timescales for relaxation. In |
440 |
|
|
eq. \eqref{C(t)1}, $P_{2}$ is the second-order Legendre polynomial, |
441 |
gezelter |
3948 |
the vector $\mathbf{u}$ is often taken as HOH bisector, although |
442 |
|
|
slightly different behavior can be observed when $\mathbf{u}$ is the |
443 |
gezelter |
3946 |
vector along one of the OH bonds. The angle brackets denote an |
444 |
|
|
ensemble average over all water molecules in a given spatial region. |
445 |
gezelter |
3897 |
|
446 |
gezelter |
3946 |
To investigate the dynamic behavior of water at the ice interfaces, we |
447 |
|
|
have computed $C_{2}(z,t)$ for molecules that are present within a |
448 |
|
|
particular slab along the $z$- axis at the initial time. The change |
449 |
|
|
in the decay behavior as a function of the $z$ coordinate is another |
450 |
gezelter |
3948 |
measure of the change of how the local environment changes across the |
451 |
|
|
ice/water interface. To compute these correlation functions, each of |
452 |
|
|
the 0.5 ns simulations was followed by a shorter 200 ps microcanonical |
453 |
|
|
(NVE) simulation in which the positions and orientations of every |
454 |
|
|
molecule in the system were recorded every 0.1 ps. The systems were |
455 |
|
|
then divided into 30 bins and $C_2(t)$ was evaluated for each bin. |

In simulations of water at biological interfaces, Furse {\em et al.} |
458 |
|
|
fit $C_2(t)$ functions for water with triexponential |
459 |
|
|
functions,\cite{Furse08} where the three components of the decay |
460 |
|
|
correspond to a fast (<200 fs) reorientational piece driven by the |
461 |
|
|
restoring forces of existing hydrogen bonds, a middle (on the order of |
462 |
|
|
several ps) piece describing the large angle jumps that occur during |
463 |
|
|
the breaking and formation of new hydrogen bonds,and a slow (on the |
464 |
|
|
order of tens of ps) contribution describing the translational motion |
465 |
|
|
of the molecules. The model for orientational decay presented |
466 |
|
|
recently by Laage and Hynes {\em et al.}\cite{Laage08,Laage11} also |
467 |
|
|
includes three similar decay constants, although two of the time |
468 |
|
|
constants are linked, and the resulting decay curve has two parameters |
469 |
|
|
governing the dynamics of decay. |
470 |
|
|
|
471 |
|
|
In our ice/water interfaces, we are at substantially lower |
472 |
|
|
temperatures, and the water molecules are further perturbed by the |
473 |
|
|
presence of the ice phase nearby. We have obtained the most |
474 |
|
|
reasonable fits using triexponential functions with three distinct |
475 |
|
|
time domains, as well as a constant piece that accounts for the water |
476 |
|
|
stuck in the ice phase that does not experience any long-time |
477 |
|
|
orientational decay, |
478 |
gezelter |
3897 |
\begin{equation} |
479 |
gezelter |
3946 |
C_{2}(t) \approx a e^{-t/\tau_\mathrm{short}} + b e^{-t/\tau_\mathrm{middle}} + c |
480 |

e^{-t/\tau_\mathrm{long}} + (1-a-b-c) |

482 |

Average values for the three decay constants (and error estimates) |
483 |
|
|
were obtained for each bin. In figures \ref{fig:basal_Tau_comic_strip} |
484 |
|
|

In panels (a), we see at large displacements from the center of the ice $\tau_{short}$ for the basal system has a value of about 71 fs and 72 fs for the prismatic. Decreasing in displacement from about 26 \AA\ to about 19 \AA\ in the basal system, the value of $\tau_{short}$ decreases to about 63 fs. Likewise, $\tau_{short}$ decreases to about 63 fs from roughly 20 \AA\ to 12 \AA\ . This is due to the increasingly constrained motion of the water molecules as we approach the interface. In panels (b), $\tau_{middle}$ at large displacements from the ice has a value of about 5.5 ps and 3 ps for the basal and prismatic systems. We find $\tau_{middle}$ increases in value as we approach the interface in both cases. This component of the decay corresponds to the rearrangement of the hydrogen bonding network, which takes longer as the molecules motion becomes more constrained. In panels (c), $\tau_{long}$ has a value of about 50 ps for the basal system and roughly 30 ps for the prismatic system at large displacements from the interface. Similar to $\tau_{middle}$, $\tau_{long}$ also increases in value as we approach the interface for both systems. It is also apparent from Figures \ref{fig:basal_Tau_comic_strip} and \ref{fig:prismatic_Tau_comic_strip} that shearing the ice water has no effect on the orientational decay time, or on any of its decomposed components. |

For each system, there is an apparent approximate value for $\tau_{short}$, $\tau_{middle}$, and $\tau_{long}$ at large displacements from the interface. There also appears to be a single displacement, $d_{basal}$ and $d_{prismatic}$, from the interface at which all three decay times begin to deviate from their bulk liquid values. We found $d_{basal}$ and $d_{prismatic}$ to be roughly 15 \AA\ and 8 \AA\ respectively. These two results indicate that the dynamics of the water molecules within $d_{basal}$ and $d_{prismatic}$ are being significantly perturbed by the ice and/or the interface, even though the structural width of the interface by analysis of the tetrahedrality profile indicates that bulk liquid structure of water is recovered after about 4 \AA\ from the edge of the ice. |

Beaglehole and Wilson have measured the ice/water interface to have a thickness approximately 10 \AA\ for both the basal and prismatic face of ice by ellipticity measurements \cite{Beaglehole93}. Structurally, we have found the basal and prismatic interfacial width to be 3.2$\pm$0.4 \AA\ and 3.6$\pm$0.2 \AA\ . However, we have shown through decomposition of the OTCF a much larger interfacial region exists in which the dynamics of the water molecules behave differently than those of the bulk liquid. |

\subsection{Coefficient of Friction of the Interface} |
507 |

As the ice is sheared through the liquid, there will be a friction between the solid and the liquid. Pit has shown how to calculate the coefficient of friction $\lambda$ for a solid-liquid interface for a Newtonian fluid of viscosity $\eta$ and has a slip length of $\delta$. \cite{Pit99} |
508 |
|
|
\begin{equation}\label{Pit} |
509 |
|
|
\lambda=\eta/\delta |
510 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
511 |
|
|
From linear response theory, $\eta$ can be obtained from the imposed momentum flux and the slope of the velocity about the dimension of the imposed flux.\cite{Kuang12} |
512 |
|
|
\begin{equation}\label{Kuang} |
513 |
|
|
j_{z}(p_{x})=-\eta\frac{\partial v_{x}}{\partial z} |
514 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
515 |
|
|
Solving eq. \eqref{Kuang} for $\eta$ and substituting the result into eq. \eqref{Pit}, we obtain an alternate expression for the coefficient of friction. |

For our simulations, we obtain $\delta$ from the difference between the structural edge of the ice block determined by the tetrahedrality profile fit, and the intersection of the linear regression of the $v_{x}$ profiles about the $z$-dimension for the ice and liquid. (See Figure \ref{fig:delta_example}) The coefficient of friction for the basal and the prismatic facets were found to be (0.07$\pm$0.01) amu fs\textsuperscript{-1} and (0.032$\pm$0.007) amu fs\textsuperscript{-1}. It is known that the basal and prismatic faces have different surface structures. The basal face is smoother than the prismatic with small alternating valleys and crests, while the prismatic surface has deep corrugating channels. We believe the reason that the prismatic face's coefficient of friction was found to be smaller than the basal's is due to the direction of the shear. The shear of the ice/water was in the same direction of the corrugating channels, allowing water molecules to pass through the channels during the shear. |

\section{Conclusion} |

Here we have simulated the basal and prismatic facets of an SPC/E model of the ice I$_\mathrm{h}$ / water interface. Using VSS-RNEMD, the ice was sheared relative to the liquid while imposed thermal gradients kept the interface at a stable temperature. Caculation of the local tetrahedrality order parameter has shown an apparent independence of the shear rate on the interfacial width, which was found to be 3.2$\pm$0.4 \AA\ and 3.6$\pm$0.2 \AA\ for the basal and prismatic systems. The orientational time correlation function was calculated from varying displacements from the interface. Decomposition by a triexponential decay also showed an apparent independence of the shear rate. The short time decay due to the restoring forces of existing hydrogen bonds decreased at close displacements from the interface, while the middle and long time decays were found to increase. There is also an apparent displacement, $d_{basal}$ and $d_{prismatic}$, from the interface at which these deviations from bulk liquid values occurs. We found $d_{basal}$ and $d_{prismatic}$ to be approximately 15 \AA\ and 8 \AA\ . This implies that the dynamics of water molecules which are structurally equivalent to bulk phase molecules are being perturbed by the presence of the ice and/or the interface. The coefficient of friction of each of the facets was also determined. They were found to be (0.07$\pm$0.01) amu fs\textsuperscript{-1} and (0.032$\pm$0.007) amu fs\textsuperscript{-1} for the basal and prismatic facets respectively. We believe the large difference between the two friction coefficients is due to the direction of the shear and the surface structure of the crystal facets. |
