\section{Introduction}
Explain a little bit about ice Ih, point group stuff. 

Mention previous work done / on going work by other people. Haymet and Rick
seem to be investigating how the interfaces is perturbed by the presence of 
ions. This is the conlcusion of a recent publication of the basal and 
prismatic facets of ice Ih, now presenting the pyramidal and secondary 
prism facets under shear.

\section{Methodology}

\subsection{Pyramidal and secondary prism system construction}

The construction of the pyramidal and secondary prism systems follows that of 
the basal and prismatic systems presented elsewhere\cite{Louden13}, however
the ice crystals and water boxes were equilibrated and combined at 50K 
instead of 225K. The ice / water systems generated were then equilibrated 
to 225K. The resulting pyramidal system was 
$37.47 \times 29.50 \times 93.02$ \AA\ with 1216
SPC/E molecules in the ice slab, and 2203 in the liquid phase. The secondary 
prism system generated was $71.87 \times 31.66 \times 161.55$ \AA\ with 3840 
SPC/E molecules in the ice slab and 8176 molecules in the liquid phase.

\subsection{Computational details}
% Do we need to justify the sims at 225K? 
% No crystal growth or shrinkage over 2 successive 1 ns NVT simulations for
%    either the pyramidal or sec. prism ice/water systems.

The computational details performed here were equivalent to those reported
in our previous publication\cite{Louden13}. The only changes made to the 
previously reported procedure were the following. VSS-RNEMD moves were 
attempted every 2 fs instead of every 50 fs. This was done to minimize
the magnitude of each individual VSS-RNEMD perturbation to the system.

All pyramidal simulations were performed under the NVT ensamble except those
during which statistics were accumulated for the orientational correlation
function, which were performed under the NVE ensamble. All secondary prism 
simulations were performed under the NVE ensamble. 

\section{Results and discussion}
\subsection{Interfacial width}
In the literature there is good agreement that between the solid ice and 
the bulk water, there exists a region of 'slush-like' water molecules. 
In this region, the water molecules are structurely distinguishable and 
behave differently than those of the solid ice or the bulk water.
The characteristics of this region have been defined by both structural
and dynamic properties; and its width has been measured by the change of these 
properties from their bulk liquid values to those of the solid ice. 
Examples of these properties include the density, the diffusion constant, and 
the translational order profile. \cite{Bryk02,Karim90,Gay02,Hayward01,Hayward02,Karim88}  

Since the VSS-RNEMD moves used to impose the thermal and velocity gradients
 perturb the momenta of the water molecules in 
the systems, parameters that depend on translational motion may give
faulty results. A stuructural parameter will be less effected by the 
VSS-RNEMD perturbations to the system. Due to this, we have used the 
local order tetrahedral parameter to quantify the width of the interface,
 which was originally described by Kumar\cite{Kumar09} and 
Errington\cite{Errington01}, and used by Bryk and Haymet in a previous study
of ice/water interfaces.\cite{Bryk2004b} 

The local tetrahedral order parameter, $q(z)$, is given by
\begin{equation}
q(z) = \int_0^L \sum_{k=1}^{N} \Bigg(1 -\frac{3}{8}\sum_{i=1}^{3}
\sum_{j=i+1}^{4} \bigg(\cos\psi_{ikj}+\frac{1}{3}\bigg)^2\Bigg)
\delta(z_{k}-z)\mathrm{d}z \Bigg/ N_z
\label{eq:qz}
\end{equation}
where $\psi_{ikj}$ is the angle formed between the oxygen sites of molecules
$i$,$k$, and $j$, where the centeral oxygen is located within molecule $k$ and 
molecules $i$ and $j$ are two of the closest four water molecules
around molecule $k$. All four closest neighbors of molecule $k$ are also
required to reside within the first peak of the pair distribution function
for molecule $k$ (typically $<$ 3.41 \AA\ for water). 
$N_z = \int\delta(z_k - z) \mathrm{d}z$ is a normalization factor to account 
for the varying population of molecules within each finite-width bin.

To determine the width of the interfaces, each of the systems were 
divided into 100 artificial bins along the 
$z$-dimension, and the local tetrahedral order parameter, $q(z)$, was 
time-averaged for each of the bins, resulting in a tetrahedrality profile of 
the system. These profiles are shown across the $z$-dimension of the systems
in panel $a$ of Figures \ref{fig:spComic}
and \ref{fig:pyrComic} (black circles). The $q(z)$ function has a range of 
(0,1), where a larger value indicates a more tetrahedral environment.
The $q(z)$ for the bulk liquid was found to be $\approx $ 0.77, while values of
$\approx $0.92 were more common for the ice. The tetrahedrality profiles were
fit using a hyperbolic tangent\cite{Louden13} designed to smoothly fit the 
bulk to ice 
transition, while accounting for the thermal influence on the profile by the
kinetic energy exchanges of the VSS-RNEMD moves. In panels $b$ and $c$, the
imposed thermal and velocity gradients can be seen. The verticle dotted
lines traversing all three panels indicate the midpoints of the interface
as determined by the hyperbolic tangent fit of the tetrahedrality profiles.
 
From fitting the tetrahedrality profiles for each of the 0.5 nanosecond 
simulations (panel c of Figures \ref{fig:spComic} and \ref{fig:pyrComic}) 
by Eq. 6\cite{Louden13},we find the interfacial width to be
 $3.2 \pm 0.2$ and $3.2 \pm 0.2$ \AA\ for the control system with no applied 
momentum flux for both the pyramidal and secondary prism systems. 
Over the range of shear rates investigated, 
$0.6 \pm 0.2 \mathrm{ms}^{-1} \rightarrow 5.6 \pm 0.4 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ for 
the pyramidal system and $0.9 \pm 0.3 \mathrm{ms}^{-1} \rightarrow 5.4 \pm 0.1
\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ for the secondary prism, we found no significant change in
the interfacial width. This follows our previous findings of the basal and
prismatic systems, in which the interfacial width was invarient of the
shear rate of the ice. The interfacial width of the quiescent basal and 
prismatic systems was found to be $3.2 \pm 0.4$ \AA\ and $3.6 \pm 0.2$ \AA\ 
respectively. Over the range of shear rates investigated, $0.6 \pm 0.3 
\mathrm{ms}^{-1} \rightarrow 5.3 \pm 0.5 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ for the basal 
system and $0.9 \pm 0.2 \mathrm{ms}^{-1} \rightarrow 4.5 \pm 0.1 
\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ for the prismatic.

These results indicate that the surface structure of the exposed ice crystal
has little to no effect on how far into the bulk the ice-like structural 
ordering is. Also, it appears that the interface is not structurally effected
by shearing the ice through water. 


\subsection{Orientational dynamics}
%Should we include the math here?
The orientational time correlation function,
\begin{equation}\label{C(t)1}
  C_{2}(t)=\langle P_{2}(\mathbf{u}(0)\cdot \mathbf{u}(t))\rangle,
\end{equation}
helps indicate the local environment around the water molecules. The function 
begins with an initial value of unity, and decays to zero as the water molecule
loses memory of its former orientation. Observing the rate at which this decay
occurs can provide insight to the mechanism and timescales for the relaxation.
In eq. \eqref{C(t)1}, $P_{2}$ is the second-order Legendre polynomial, and 
$\mathbf{u}$ is the the bisecting HOH vector. The angle brackets indicate
an ensemble average over all the water molecules in a given spatial region.

To investigate the dynamics of the water molecules across the interface, the 
systems were divided in the $z$-dimension into bins, each $\approx$ 3 \AA\
 wide, and \eqref{C(t)1} was computed for each of the bins. A water 
molecule was allocated to a particular bin if it was initially in the bin
at time zero. To compute \eqref{C(t)1}, each 0.5 ns simulation was followed 
by an additional 200 ps microcanonical (NVE) simulation during which the 
position and orientations of each molecule were recorded every 0.1 ps.
 
The data obtained for each bin was then fit to a triexponential decay given by
\begin{equation}\label{C(t)_fit}
C_{2}(t) \approx a e^{-t/\tau_\mathrm{short}} + b e^{-t/\tau_\mathrm{middle}} +\
 c
e^{-t/\tau_\mathrm{long}} + (1-a-b-c)
\end{equation}
where $\tau_{short}$ corresponds to the librational motion of the water  
molecules, $\tau_{middle}$ corresponds to jumps between the breaking and 
making of hydrogen bonds, and $\tau_{long}$ corresponds to the translational
motion of the water molecules. The last term in \eqref{C(t)_fit} accounts
for the water molecules trapped in the ice which do not experience any
long-time orientational decay.

In Figures \ref{fig:PyrOrient} and \ref{fig:SPorient} we see the $z$-coordinate
profiles for the three decay constants, $\tau_{short}$ (panel a), 
$\tau_{middle}$ (panel b),
and $\tau_{long}$ (panel c) for the pyramidal and secondary prismatic systems
respectively. The control experiments (no shear) are shown in black, and 
an experiment with an imposed momentum flux is shown in red. The vertical
dotted line traversing all three panels denotes the midpoint of the 
interface as determined by the local tetrahedral order parameter fitting.
In the liquid regions of both systems, we see that $\tau_{middle}$ and
$\tau_{long}$ have approximately consistent values of $3-6$ ps and $30-40$ ps,
resepctively, and increase in value as we approach the interface. Conversely,
in panel a, we see that $\tau_{short}$ decreases from the liquid value 
of $72-76$ fs as we approach the interface. We believe this speed up is due to
the constrained motion of librations closer to the interface. Both the 
approximate values for the decays and relative trends  match those reported 
previously for the basal and prismatic interfaces.

As done previously, we have attempted to quantify the distance, $d_{pyramidal}$
and $d_{secondary prism}$, from the 
interface that the deviations from the bulk liquid values begin. This was done
by fitting the orientational decay constant $z$-profiles by
\begin{equation}\label{tauFit}
\tau(z)\approx\tau_{liquid}+(\tau_{solid}-\tau_{liquid})e^{-(z-z_{wall})/d}
\end{equation}
where $\tau_{liquid}$ and $\tau_{solid}$ are the liquid and projected solid
values of the decay constants, $z_{wall}$ is the location of the interface,
and $d$ is the displacement from the interface at which these deviations
occur. The values for $d_{pyramidal}$ and $d_{secondary prismatic}$ were 
determined
for each of the decay constants, and then averaged for better statistics 
($\tau_{middle}$ was ommitted for secondary prism). For the pyramidal system,
$d_{pyramidal}$ was found to be 2.7 \AA\ for both the control and the sheared
system. We found $d_{secondary prismatic}$ to be slightly larger than 
$d_{pyramidal}$ for both the control and with an applied shear, with 
displacements of $4$ \AA\ for the control system and $3$ \AA\ for the 
experiment with the imposed momentum flux. These values are consistent with
those found for the basal ($d_{basal}\approx2.9$ \AA\ ) and prismatic 
($d_{prismatic}\approx3.5$ \AA\ ) systems.

\subsection{Coefficient of friction of the interfaces}
While investigating the kinetic coefficient of friction, there was found 
to be a dependence for $\mu_k$ 
on the temperature of the liquid water in the system. We believe this 
dependence
arrises from the sharp discontinuity of the viscosity for the SPC/E model
at temperatures approaching 200 K\cite{kuang12}. Due to this, we propose
a weighting to the structural interfacial parameter, $\kappa$ by the 
viscosity at $225$ K, the temperature of the interface. $\kappa$ is 
traditionally defined as
\begin{equation}\label{kappa}
\kappa = \eta/\delta
\end{equation}
where $\eta$ is the viscosity and $\delta$ is the slip length. 
In our ice/water shearing simulations, the system has reached a steady state 
when the applied force,

\begin{equation}
f_{applied} = \mathbf{j}_z(\mathbf{p})L_x L_y
\end{equation} 
is equal to the frictional force resisting the motion of the ice block
\begin{equation}
f_{friction} = \frac{\eta \mathbf{v} L_x L_y}{\delta} 
\end{equation}
where $\mathbf{v}$ is the relative velocity of the liquid from the ice.
When this condition is met, we are able to solve the resulting expression to 
obtain,
\begin{equation}\label{force_equality}
\frac{\eta}{\delta} = \frac{\mathbf{j}_z(\mathbf{p})}{\mathbf{v}}
\end{equation}
From \eqref{kappa}, \eqref{force_equality} becomes
\begin{equation}
\kappa = \frac{\mathbf{j}_z(\mathbf{p})}{\mathbf{v}}
\end{equation}
which we will multiply by a viscosity weighting term to reach
\begin{equation} \label{kappa2}
\kappa = \frac{\mathbf{j}_z(\mathbf{p})}{\mathbf{v}} \frac{\eta(225)}{\eta(T)}
\end{equation}
Assuming linear response theory is valid, an expression for ($\eta$) can
be found from the imposed momentum flux and the measured velocity gradient.
\begin{equation}\label{eta_eq}
\eta = \frac{\mathbf{j}_z(\mathbf{p})}{\frac{\partial v_x}{\partial z}}
\end{equation}
Substituting eq \eqref{eta_eq} into eq \eqref{kappa2} we arrive at
\begin{equation}
  \kappa = \frac{\frac{\partial v_x}{\partial z}}{\mathbf{v}}\eta(225)
\end{equation}

\end{tabular}
\end{table}


To obtain the value of $\eta(225)$ for the SPC/E model, a $31.09 \times 29.38
\times 124.39$ \AA\ box with 3744 SPC/E water molecules was equilibrated to 
225K, 
and 5 unique shearing experiments were performed. Each experiment was
conducted in the microcanonical ensemble (NVE) and were 5 ns in 
length. The VSS were attempted every timestep, which was set to 2 fs. 
For our SPC/E systems, we found $\eta(225)$  to be $0.0148 \pm 0.0007$ Pa s,
roughly ten times larger than the value found for 280 K SPC/E bulk water by
Kuang\cite{kuang12}. 

The resulting $\kappa$ values found for the four crystal
facets of Ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$ investigated are shown in Table \ref{tab:kappa}.
The basal and pyramidal facets were found to have similar values of
$\kappa \approx$ 0.0006, while $\kappa \approx$ 0.0003 were found for the 
prismatic and secondary prismatic facets. 
%This indicates something about the similarity between the two facets that 
%share similar values...
%Maybe find values for kappa for other materials to compare against?

\section{Conclusion}
We present the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the pyrmaidal
and secondary prismatic facets of an SPC/E model of the 
Ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$/water interface. The ice was sheared through the liquid
water while being exposed to a thermal gradient to maintain a stable 
interface by using the minimal perturbing VSS RNEMD method. In agreement with 
our previous findings for the basal and prismatic facets, the interfacial 
width was found to be independent of shear rate as measured by the local 
order tetrahedral ordering parameter. This width was found to be 
3.2~$\pm$0.2~\AA\ for both the pyramidal and the secondary prismatic systems.
