\section{Introduction} |
60 |
Explain a little bit about ice Ih, point group stuff. |
61 |
|
62 |
Mention previous work done / on going work by other people. Haymet and Rick |
63 |
seem to be investigating how the interfaces is perturbed by the presence of |
64 |
ions. This is the conlcusion of a recent publication of the basal and |
65 |
prismatic facets of ice Ih, now presenting the pyramidal and secondary |
66 |
prism facets under shear. |

\subsection{Pyramidal and secondary prism system construction} |
88 |
|
89 |
The construction of the pyramidal and secondary prism systems follows that of |
90 |
the basal and prismatic systems presented elsewhere\cite{Louden13}, however |
91 |
the ice crystals and water boxes were equilibrated and combined at 50K |
92 |
instead of 225K. The ice / water systems generated were then equilibrated |
93 |
to 225K. The resulting pyramidal system was |
94 |
$37.47 \times 29.50 \times 93.02$ \AA\ with 1216 |
95 |
SPC/E molecules in the ice slab, and 2203 in the liquid phase. The secondary |
96 |
prism system generated was $71.87 \times 31.66 \times 161.55$ \AA\ with 3840 |
97 |
SPC/E molecules in the ice slab and 8176 molecules in the liquid phase. |
98 |
|
99 |
\subsection{Computational details} |
100 |
% Do we need to justify the sims at 225K? |
101 |
% No crystal growth or shrinkage over 2 successive 1 ns NVT simulations for |
102 |
% either the pyramidal or sec. prism ice/water systems. |
103 |
|
104 |
The computational details performed here were equivalent to those reported |
105 |
in our previous publication\cite{Louden13}. The only changes made to the |
106 |
previously reported procedure were the following. VSS-RNEMD moves were |
107 |
attempted every 2 fs instead of every 50 fs. This was done to minimize |
108 |
the magnitude of each individual VSS-RNEMD perturbation to the system. |
109 |
|
110 |
All pyramidal simulations were performed under the NVT ensamble except those |
111 |
during which statistics were accumulated for the orientational correlation |
112 |
function, which were performed under the NVE ensamble. All secondary prism |
113 |
simulations were performed under the NVE ensamble. |
114 |
|
115 |
\section{Results and discussion} |
116 |
\subsection{Interfacial width} |
117 |
In the literature there is good agreement that between the solid ice and |
118 |
the bulk water, there exists a region of 'slush-like' water molecules. |
119 |
In this region, the water molecules are structurely distinguishable and |
120 |
behave differently than those of the solid ice or the bulk water. |
121 |
The characteristics of this region have been defined by both structural |
122 |
and dynamic properties; and its width has been measured by the change of these |
123 |
properties from their bulk liquid values to those of the solid ice. |
124 |
Examples of these properties include the density, the diffusion constant, and |
125 |
the translational order profile. \cite{Bryk02,Karim90,Gay02,Hayward01,Hayward02,Karim88} |
126 |
|
127 |
Since the VSS-RNEMD moves used to impose the thermal and velocity gradients |
128 |
perturb the momenta of the water molecules in |
129 |
the systems, parameters that depend on translational motion may give |
130 |
faulty results. A stuructural parameter will be less effected by the |
131 |
VSS-RNEMD perturbations to the system. Due to this, we have used the |
132 |
local order tetrahedral parameter to quantify the width of the interface, |
133 |
which was originally described by Kumar\cite{Kumar09} and |
134 |
Errington\cite{Errington01}, and used by Bryk and Haymet in a previous study |
135 |
of ice/water interfaces.\cite{Bryk2004b} |
136 |
|
137 |
The local tetrahedral order parameter, $q(z)$, is given by |
138 |
\begin{equation} |
139 |
q(z) = \int_0^L \sum_{k=1}^{N} \Bigg(1 -\frac{3}{8}\sum_{i=1}^{3} |
140 |
\sum_{j=i+1}^{4} \bigg(\cos\psi_{ikj}+\frac{1}{3}\bigg)^2\Bigg) |
141 |
\delta(z_{k}-z)\mathrm{d}z \Bigg/ N_z |
142 |
\label{eq:qz} |
143 |
\end{equation} |
144 |
where $\psi_{ikj}$ is the angle formed between the oxygen sites of molecules |
145 |
$i$,$k$, and $j$, where the centeral oxygen is located within molecule $k$ and |
146 |
molecules $i$ and $j$ are two of the closest four water molecules |
147 |
around molecule $k$. All four closest neighbors of molecule $k$ are also |
148 |
required to reside within the first peak of the pair distribution function |
149 |
for molecule $k$ (typically $<$ 3.41 \AA\ for water). |
150 |
$N_z = \int\delta(z_k - z) \mathrm{d}z$ is a normalization factor to account |
151 |
for the varying population of molecules within each finite-width bin. |
152 |
|
153 |
To determine the width of the interfaces, each of the systems were |
154 |
divided into 100 artificial bins along the |
155 |
$z$-dimension, and the local tetrahedral order parameter, $q(z)$, was |
156 |
time-averaged for each of the bins, resulting in a tetrahedrality profile of |
157 |
the system. These profiles are shown across the $z$-dimension of the systems |
158 |
in panel $a$ of Figures \ref{fig:spComic} |
159 |
and \ref{fig:pyrComic} (black circles). The $q(z)$ function has a range of |
160 |
(0,1), where a larger value indicates a more tetrahedral environment. |
161 |
The $q(z)$ for the bulk liquid was found to be $\approx $ 0.77, while values of |
162 |
$\approx $0.92 were more common for the ice. The tetrahedrality profiles were |
163 |
fit using a hyperbolic tangent\cite{Louden13} designed to smoothly fit the |
164 |
bulk to ice |
165 |
transition, while accounting for the thermal influence on the profile by the |
166 |
kinetic energy exchanges of the VSS-RNEMD moves. In panels $b$ and $c$, the |
167 |
imposed thermal and velocity gradients can be seen. The verticle dotted |
168 |
lines traversing all three panels indicate the midpoints of the interface |
169 |
as determined by the hyperbolic tangent fit of the tetrahedrality profiles. |
170 |
|
171 |
From fitting the tetrahedrality profiles for each of the 0.5 nanosecond |
172 |
simulations (panel c of Figures \ref{fig:spComic} and \ref{fig:pyrComic}) |
173 |
by Eq. 6\cite{Louden13},we find the interfacial width to be |
174 |
$3.2 \pm 0.2$ and $3.2 \pm 0.2$ \AA\ for the control system with no applied |
175 |
momentum flux for both the pyramidal and secondary prism systems. |
176 |
Over the range of shear rates investigated, |
177 |
$0.6 \pm 0.2 \mathrm{ms}^{-1} \rightarrow 5.6 \pm 0.4 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ for |
178 |
the pyramidal system and $0.9 \pm 0.3 \mathrm{ms}^{-1} \rightarrow 5.4 \pm 0.1 |
179 |
\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ for the secondary prism, we found no significant change in |
180 |
the interfacial width. This follows our previous findings of the basal and |
181 |
prismatic systems, in which the interfacial width was invarient of the |
182 |
shear rate of the ice. The interfacial width of the quiescent basal and |
183 |
prismatic systems was found to be $3.2 \pm 0.4$ \AA\ and $3.6 \pm 0.2$ \AA\ |
184 |
respectively. Over the range of shear rates investigated, $0.6 \pm 0.3 |
185 |
\mathrm{ms}^{-1} \rightarrow 5.3 \pm 0.5 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ for the basal |
186 |
system and $0.9 \pm 0.2 \mathrm{ms}^{-1} \rightarrow 4.5 \pm 0.1 |
187 |
\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ for the prismatic. |
188 |
|
189 |
These results indicate that the surface structure of the exposed ice crystal |
190 |
has little to no effect on how far into the bulk the ice-like structural |
191 |
ordering is. Also, it appears that the interface is not structurally effected |
192 |
by shearing the ice through water. |
193 |
|
194 |
|
195 |
\subsection{Orientational dynamics} |
196 |
%Should we include the math here? |
197 |
The orientational time correlation function, |
198 |
\begin{equation}\label{C(t)1} |
199 |
C_{2}(t)=\langle P_{2}(\mathbf{u}(0)\cdot \mathbf{u}(t))\rangle, |
200 |
\end{equation} |
201 |
helps indicate the local environment around the water molecules. The function |
202 |
begins with an initial value of unity, and decays to zero as the water molecule |
203 |
loses memory of its former orientation. Observing the rate at which this decay |
204 |
occurs can provide insight to the mechanism and timescales for the relaxation. |
205 |
In eq. \eqref{C(t)1}, $P_{2}$ is the second-order Legendre polynomial, and |
206 |
$\mathbf{u}$ is the bisecting HOH vector. The angle brackets indicate |
207 |
an ensemble average over all the water molecules in a given spatial region. |
208 |
|
209 |
To investigate the dynamics of the water molecules across the interface, the |
210 |
systems were divided in the $z$-dimension into bins, each $\approx$ 3 \AA\ |
211 |
wide, and \eqref{C(t)1} was computed for each of the bins. A water |
212 |
molecule was allocated to a particular bin if it was initially in the bin |
213 |
at time zero. To compute \eqref{C(t)1}, each 0.5 ns simulation was followed |
214 |
by an additional 200 ps microcanonical (NVE) simulation during which the |
215 |
position and orientations of each molecule were recorded every 0.1 ps. |
216 |
|
217 |
The data obtained for each bin was then fit to a triexponential decay given by |
218 |
\begin{equation}\label{C(t)_fit} |
219 |
C_{2}(t) \approx a e^{-t/\tau_\mathrm{short}} + b e^{-t/\tau_\mathrm{middle}} +\ |
220 |
c |
221 |
e^{-t/\tau_\mathrm{long}} + (1-a-b-c) |
222 |
\end{equation} |
223 |
where $\tau_{short}$ corresponds to the librational motion of the water |
224 |
molecules, $\tau_{middle}$ corresponds to jumps between the breaking and |
225 |
making of hydrogen bonds, and $\tau_{long}$ corresponds to the translational |
226 |
motion of the water molecules. The last term in \eqref{C(t)_fit} accounts |
227 |
for the water molecules trapped in the ice which do not experience any |
228 |
long-time orientational decay. |
229 |
|
230 |
In Figures \ref{fig:PyrOrient} and \ref{fig:SPorient} we see the $z$-coordinate |
231 |
profiles for the three decay constants, $\tau_{short}$ (panel a), |
232 |
$\tau_{middle}$ (panel b), |
233 |
and $\tau_{long}$ (panel c) for the pyramidal and secondary prismatic systems |
234 |
respectively. The control experiments (no shear) are shown in black, and |
235 |
an experiment with an imposed momentum flux is shown in red. The vertical |
236 |
dotted line traversing all three panels denotes the midpoint of the |
237 |
interface as determined by the local tetrahedral order parameter fitting. |
238 |
In the liquid regions of both systems, we see that $\tau_{middle}$ and |
239 |
$\tau_{long}$ have approximately consistent values of $3-6$ ps and $30-40$ ps, |
240 |
resepctively, and increase in value as we approach the interface. Conversely, |
241 |
in panel a, we see that $\tau_{short}$ decreases from the liquid value |
242 |
of $72-76$ fs as we approach the interface. We believe this speed up is due to |
243 |
the constrained motion of librations closer to the interface. Both the |
244 |
approximate values for the decays and relative trends match those reported |
245 |
previously for the basal and prismatic interfaces. |
246 |
|
247 |
As done previously, we have attempted to quantify the distance, $d_{pyramidal}$ |
248 |
and $d_{secondary prism}$, from the |
249 |
interface that the deviations from the bulk liquid values begin. This was done |
250 |
by fitting the orientational decay constant $z$-profiles by |
251 |
\begin{equation}\label{tauFit} |
252 |
\tau(z)\approx\tau_{liquid}+(\tau_{solid}-\tau_{liquid})e^{-(z-z_{wall})/d} |
253 |
\end{equation} |
254 |
where $\tau_{liquid}$ and $\tau_{solid}$ are the liquid and projected solid |
255 |
values of the decay constants, $z_{wall}$ is the location of the interface, |
256 |
and $d$ is the displacement from the interface at which these deviations |
257 |
occur. The values for $d_{pyramidal}$ and $d_{secondary prismatic}$ were |
258 |
determined |
259 |
for each of the decay constants, and then averaged for better statistics |
260 |
($\tau_{middle}$ was ommitted for secondary prism). For the pyramidal system, |
261 |
$d_{pyramidal}$ was found to be 2.7 \AA\ for both the control and the sheared |
262 |
system. We found $d_{secondary prismatic}$ to be slightly larger than |
263 |
$d_{pyramidal}$ for both the control and with an applied shear, with |
264 |
displacements of $4$ \AA\ for the control system and $3$ \AA\ for the |
265 |
experiment with the imposed momentum flux. These values are consistent with |
266 |
those found for the basal ($d_{basal}\approx2.9$ \AA\ ) and prismatic |
267 |
($d_{prismatic}\approx3.5$ \AA\ ) systems. |
268 |
|
269 |
\subsection{Coefficient of friction of the interfaces} |
270 |
While investigating the kinetic coefficient of friction, there was found |
271 |
to be a dependence for $\mu_k$ |
272 |
on the temperature of the liquid water in the system. We believe this |
273 |
dependence |
274 |
arrises from the sharp discontinuity of the viscosity for the SPC/E model |
275 |
at temperatures approaching 200 K\cite{kuang12}. Due to this, we propose |
276 |
a weighting to the interfacial friction coefficient, $\kappa$ by the |
277 |
shear viscosity at 225 K. The interfacial friction coefficient relates |
278 |
the shear stress with the relative velocity of the fluid normal to the |
279 |
interface: |
280 |
\begin{equation}\label{Shenyu-13} |
281 |
j_{z}(p_{x}) = \kappa[v_{x}(fluid)-v_{x}(solid)] |
282 |
\end{equation} |
283 |
where $j_{z}(p_{x})$ is the applied momentum flux (shear stress) across $z$ |
284 |
in the |
285 |
$x$-dimension, and $v_{x}$(fluid) and $v_{x}$(solid) are the velocities |
286 |
directly adjacent to the interface. The shear viscosity, $\eta(T)$, of the |
287 |
fluid can be determined if we assume a linear response of the momentum |
288 |
gradient to the applied shear stress by |
289 |
\begin{equation}\label{Shenyu-11} |
290 |
j_{z}(p_{x}) = \eta(T) \frac{\partial v_{x}}{\partial z}. |
291 |
\end{equation} |
292 |
Using eqs \eqref{Shenyu-13} and \eqref{Shenyu-11}, we can find the following |
293 |
expression for $\kappa$, |
294 |
\begin{equation}\label{kappa-1} |
295 |
\kappa = \eta(T) \frac{\partial v_{x}}{\partial z}\frac{1}{[v_{x}(fluid)-v_{x}(solid)]}. |
296 |
\end{equation} |
297 |
Here is where we will introduce the weighting term of $\eta(225)/\eta(T)$ |
298 |
giving us |
299 |
\begin{equation}\label{kappa-2} |
300 |
\kappa = \frac{\eta(225)}{[v_{x}(fluid)-v_{x}(solid)]}\frac{\partial v_{x}}{\partial z}. |
301 |
\end{equation} |
302 |
|
303 |
To obtain the value of $\eta(225)$ for the SPC/E model, a $31.09 \times 29.38 |
304 |
\times 124.39$ \AA\ box with 3744 SPC/E water molecules was equilibrated to |
305 |
225K, |
306 |
and 5 unique shearing experiments were performed. Each experiment was |
307 |
conducted in the microcanonical ensemble (NVE) and were 5 ns in |
308 |
length. The VSS were attempted every timestep, which was set to 2 fs. |
309 |
For our SPC/E systems, we found $\eta(225)$ to be $0.0148 \pm 0.0007$ Pa s, |
310 |
roughly ten times larger than the value found for 280 K SPC/E bulk water by |
311 |
Kuang\cite{kuang12}. |
312 |
|
313 |
The interfacial friction coefficient, $\kappa$, can equivalently be expressed |
314 |
as the ratio of the viscosity of the fluid to the slip length, $\delta$, which |
315 |
is an indication of how 'slippery' the interface is. |
316 |
\begin{equation}\label{kappa-3} |
317 |
\kappa = \frac{\eta}{\delta} |
318 |
\end{equation} |
319 |
In each of the systems, the interfacial temperature was kept fixed to 225K, |
320 |
which ensured the viscosity of the fluid at the |
321 |
interace was approximately the same. Thus, any significant variation in |
322 |
$\kappa$ between |
323 |
the systems indicates differences in the 'slipperiness' of the interfaces. |
324 |
As each of the ice systems are sheared relative to liquid water, the |
325 |
'slipperiness' of the interface can be taken as an indication of how |
326 |
hydrophobic or hydrophilic the interface is. The calculated $\kappa$ values |
327 |
found for the four crystal facets of Ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$ investigated are shown |
328 |
in Table \ref{tab:kapa}. The basal and pyramidal facets were found to have |
329 |
similar values of $\kappa \approx$ 0.0006 (units), while $\kappa \approx$ |
330 |
0.0003 (units) were found for the prismatic and secondary prismatic systems. |
331 |
These results indicate that the prismatic and secondary prismatic facets are |
332 |
more hydrophobic than the basal and pyramidal facets. |
333 |
%This indicates something about the similarity between the two facets that |
334 |
%share similar values... |
335 |
%Maybe find values for kappa for other materials to compare against? |

\section{Conclusion} |
398 |
We present the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the pyrmaidal |
399 |
and secondary prismatic facets of an SPC/E model of the |
400 |
Ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$/water interface. The ice was sheared through the liquid |
401 |
water while being exposed to a thermal gradient to maintain a stable |
402 |
interface by using the minimal perturbing VSS RNEMD method. In agreement with |
403 |
our previous findings for the basal and prismatic facets, the interfacial |
404 |
width was found to be independent of shear rate as measured by the local |
405 |
tetrahedral order parameter. This width was found to be |
406 |
3.2~$\pm$0.2~\AA\ for both the pyramidal and the secondary prismatic systems. |
407 |
These values are in good agreement with our previously calculated interfacial |
408 |
widths for the basal (3.2~$\pm$0.4~\AA\ ) and prismatic (3.6~$\pm$0.2~\AA\ ) |
409 |
systems. |
410 |
|
411 |
Orientational dynamics of the Ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$/water interfaces were studied |
412 |
by calculation of the orientational time correlation function at varying |
413 |
displacements normal to the interface. The decays were fit |
414 |
to a tri-exponential decay, where the three decay constants correspond to |
415 |
the librational motion of the molecules driven by the restoring forces of |
416 |
existing hydrogen bonds ($\tau_{short}$ $\mathcal{O}$(10 fs)), jumps between |
417 |
two different hydrogen bonds ($\tau_{middle}$ $\mathcal{O}$(1 ps)), and |
418 |
translational motion of the molecules ($\tau_{long}$ $\mathcal{O}$(100 ps)). |
419 |
$\tau_{short}$ was found to decrease approaching the interface due to the |
420 |
constrained motion of the molecules as the local environment becomes more |
421 |
ice-like. Conversely, the two longer-time decay constants were found to |
422 |
increase at small displacements from the interface. As seen in our previous |
423 |
work on the basal and prismatic facets, there appears to be a dynamic |
424 |
interface width at which deviations from the bulk liquid values occur. |
425 |
We had previously found $d_{basal}$ and $d_{prismatic}$ to be approximately |
426 |
2.8~\AA\ and 3.5~\AA\~. We found good agreement of these values for the |
427 |
pyramidal and secondary prismatic systems with $d_{pyramidal}$ and |
428 |
$d_{secondary prism}$ to be 2.7~\AA\ and 3~\AA\~. For all of the facets, there |
429 |
was found to be no apparent dependence of the dynamic width on the shear rate. |

%Paragraph summarizing the Kappa values |
432 |
The interfacial friction coefficient, $\kappa$, was determined for each of the |
433 |
interfaces. We were able to reach an expression for $\kappa$ as a function of |
434 |
the velocity profile of the system and is scaled by the viscosity of the liquid |
435 |
at 225 K. In doing so, we have obtained an expression for $\kappa$ which is |
436 |
independent of temperature differences of the liquid water at far displacements |
437 |
from the interface. We found the basal and pyramidal facets to have |
438 |
similar $\kappa$ values, of $\kappa \approx$ 0.0006 (units). However, the |
439 |
prismatic and secondary prismatic facets were found to have $\kappa$ values of |
440 |
$\kappa \approx$ 0.0003 (units). As these ice facets are being sheared |
441 |
relative to liquid water, with the structural and dynamic width of all four |
442 |
interfaces being approximately the same, the difference in the coefficient of |
443 |
friction indicates the hydrophilicity of the crystal facets are not |
444 |
equivalent. Namely, that the basal and pyramidal facets of Ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$ |
445 |
are more hydrophilic than the prismatic and secondary prismatic facets. |
