faulty results. A stuructural parameter will be less effected by the |

172 |

time-averaged for each of the bins, resulting in a tetrahedrality profile of |
173 |
|
the system. These profiles are shown across the $z$-dimension of the systems |

(0,1), where a larger value indicates a more tetrahedral environment. |
177 |
|
The $q(z)$ for the bulk liquid was found to be $\approx $ 0.77, while values of |

From fitting the tetrahedrality profiles for each of the 0.5 nanosecond |
189 |
|
simulations (panel c of Figures \ref{fig:spComic} and \ref{fig:pyrComic}) |
190 |
|
by Eq. 6\cite{Louden13},we find the interfacial width to be |
191 |
< |
$3.2 \pm 0.2$ and $3.2 \pm 0.2$ \AA\ for the control system with no applied |

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 |

These results indicate that the surface structure of the exposed ice crystal |
208 |
|
has little to no effect on how far into the bulk the ice-like structural |
229 |
|
wide, and \eqref{C(t)1} was computed for each of the bins. A water |
230 |
|
molecule was allocated to a particular bin if it was initially in the bin |
231 |
|
at time zero. To compute \eqref{C(t)1}, each 0.5 ns simulation was followed |
232 |
< |
by an additional 200 ps microcanonical (NVE) simulation during which the |

by an additional 200 ps 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 |
259 |
|
in panel a, we see that $\tau_{short}$ decreases from the liquid value |
260 |
|
of $72-76$ fs as we approach the interface. We believe this speed up is due to |
261 |
|
the constrained motion of librations closer to the interface. Both the |
262 |

approximate values for the decays and relative trends match those reported |
263 |
< |
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 |

and $d_{secondary prismatic}$, from the |

268 |
|
by fitting the orientational decay constant $z$-profiles by |
269 |
|
\begin{equation}\label{tauFit} |
270 |
< |
\tau(z)\approx\tau_{liquid}+(\tau_{solid}-\tau_{liquid})e^{-(z-z_{wall})/d} |

where $\tau_{liquid}$ and $\tau_{wall}$ are the liquid and projected wall |

values of the decay constants, $z_{wall}$ is the location of the interface, |
274 |
|
and $d$ is the displacement from the interface at which these deviations |
275 |
|
occur. The values for $d_{pyramidal}$ and $d_{secondary prismatic}$ were |
276 |
|
determined |
277 |
|
for each of the decay constants, and then averaged for better statistics |
278 |
< |
($\tau_{middle}$ was ommitted for secondary prism). For the pyramidal system, |
278 |

($\tau_{middle}$ was ommitted for secondary prismatic). For the pyramidal |
279 |
> |
system, |
280 |
|
$d_{pyramidal}$ was found to be 2.7 \AA\ for both the control and the sheared |
281 |
|
system. We found $d_{secondary prismatic}$ to be slightly larger than |
282 |
|
$d_{pyramidal}$ for both the control and with an applied shear, with |
293 |
|
arrises from the sharp discontinuity of the viscosity for the SPC/E model |
294 |
|
at temperatures approaching 200 K\cite{kuang12}. Due to this, we propose |
295 |
|
a weighting to the interfacial friction coefficient, $\kappa$ by the |
296 |
< |
shear viscosity at 225 K. The interfacial friction coefficient relates |
297 |
< |
the shear stress with the relative velocity of the fluid normal to the |
296 |

shear viscosity of the fluid at 225 K. The interfacial friction coefficient |
297 |

relates the shear stress with the relative velocity of the fluid normal to the |
298 |
|
interface: |
299 |
|
\begin{equation}\label{Shenyu-13} |

|
j_{z}(p_{x}) = \kappa[v_{x}(fluid)-v_{x}(solid)] |
303 |
|
in the |
304 |
|
$x$-dimension, and $v_{x}$(fluid) and $v_{x}$(solid) are the velocities |
305 |
|
directly adjacent to the interface. The shear viscosity, $\eta(T)$, of the |
306 |
< |
fluid can be determined if we assume a linear response of the momentum |
306 |
> |
fluid can be determined under a linear response of the momentum |
307 |
|
gradient to the applied shear stress by |
308 |
|
\begin{equation}\label{Shenyu-11} |
309 |
|
j_{z}(p_{x}) = \eta(T) \frac{\partial v_{x}}{\partial z}. |
