\dropcap{T}he quiescent ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$/water interface has been
extensively studied using computer simulations over the past 30
years. Haymet \emph{et al.} characterized and measured the width of
these interfaces for the SPC,\cite{Karim90} SPC/E,\cite{Gay02,Bryk02},
CF1,\cite{Hayward01,Hayward02} and TIP4P\cite{Karim88} water models in
neat water and with solvated
ions.\cite{Bryk04,Smith05,Wilson08,Wilson10} Nada and Furukawa have
studied the width of basal- and prismatic-water
interfaces\cite{Nada95} as well as crystal restructuring at
temperatures approaching the melting point.\cite{Nada00}

The surface of ice exhibits a premelting layer, often called a
quasi-liquid layer (QLL), at temperatures near the melting point.
Molecular dynamics simulations of the facets of ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$
exposed to vacuum have found QLL widths of approximately 10 \AA\ at 3
K below the melting point.\cite{Conde08} Similarly, Limmer and
Chandler have used the mW water model\cite{} and statistical field
theory to estimate QLL widths at similar temperatures to be about 3
nm.\cite{Limmer14}

Recently, Sazaki and Furukawa have developed an XXXX technique
with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution to visulaize and
quantitatively analyze QLLs on ice crystals at temperatures near
melting.\cite{Sazaki10} They have found the width of the QLLs
perpindicular to the surface at -2.2$^{o}$C to be 3-4 \AA\ wide. They
have also seen the formation of two immiscible QLLs, which displayed
different dynamics on the crystal surface.\cite{Sazaki12}

There is significant interest in the properties of ice/ice and
ice/water interfaces in the geophysics community.  Understanding the
dynamics of solid-solid shearing mediated by a liquid
layer\cite{Cuffey99, Bell08} will aid in understanding the macroscopic
motion of large ice masses.\cite{Casassa91, Sukhorukov13, Pritchard12,
  Lishman13}

Using molecular dynamics simulations, Samadashvili has recently shown
that when two smooth ice slabs slide past one another, a stable
liquid-like layer develops between them.\cite{Samadashvili13} We have
previously used reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD)
simulations of ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$ / water interfaces to shear the
solid phase relative to the surrounding liquid.\cite{Louden13} The
computed solid-liquid kinetic friction coefficients displayed a factor
of two difference between the basal $\{0001\}$ and prismatic
$\{1~0~\bar{1}~0\}$ facets.  The friction was found to be independent
of shear direction relative to the surface orientation.  We attributed
facet-based difference in liquid-solid friction to the 6.5 \AA\
corrugation of the prismatic face which reduces the effective surface
area of the ice that is in direct contact with liquid water.

Surfaces can be charactarized as hydrophobic or hydrophilic based on
the strength of the interactions with water. Hydrophobic surfaces do
not have strong enough interactions with water to overcome the
internal attraction between molecules in the liquid phase.  Water on
hydrophobic surfaces maintains a nearly-spherical droplet shape.
Conversely, hydrophilic surfaces have strong solid-liquid interactions
and exhibit droplets that spread over the surface.

The hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity of a surface can be described by
the extent a droplet can spread out over the surface. The contact
angle formed between the solid and the liquid, $\theta$, which relates
the free energies of the three interfaces involved, is given by
Young's equation.
\begin{equation}\label{young}
\cos\theta = (\gamma_{sv} - \gamma_{sl})/\gamma_{lv}
\end{equation} 
Here $\gamma_{sv}$, $\gamma_{sl}$, and $\gamma_{lv}$ are the free energies
of the solid/vapor, solid/liquid, and liquid/vapor interfaces respectively.
Large contact angles ($\theta$ $\gg$ 90\textsuperscript{o}) correspond to low 
wettability and hydrophobic surfaces, while small contact angles 
($\theta$ $\ll$ 90\textsuperscript{o}) correspond to high wettability and 
hydrophilic surfaces. Experimentally, measurements of the contact angle
of sessile drops has been used to quantify the extent of wetting on surfaces
with thermally selective wetting charactaristics\cite{Tadanaga00,Liu04,Sun04},
as well as nano-pillared surfaces with electrically tunable Cassie-Baxter and 
Wenzel states\cite{Herbertson06,Dhindsa06,Verplanck07,Ahuja08,Manukyan11}. 
Luzar and coworkers have done significant work modeling these transitions on 
nano-patterned surfaces\cite{Daub07,Daub10,Daub11,Ritchie12}, and have found 
the change in contact angle to be due to the external field perturbing the 
hydrogen bonding of the liquid/vapor interface\cite{Daub07}.

In this paper we present the same analysis for the pyramidal and secondary 
prismatic facets, and show that the differential interfacial friction 
coefficients for the four facets of ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$ are determined by their 
relative hydrophilicity by means of dynamics water contact angle simulations. 

\section{Methodology}

\subsection{Water Model}
Understanding ice/water interfaces inherently begins with the isolated
systems. There has been extensive work parameterizing models for liquid water,
such as the SPC\cite{Berendsen81}, SPC/E\cite{Berendsen87}, 
TIP4P\cite{Jorgensen85}, TIP4P/2005\cite{Abascal05}, 
($\dots$), and more recently, models for simulating
the solid phases of water, such as the TIP4P/Ice\cite{Abascal05b} model. The 
melting point of various crystal structures of ice have been calculated for 
many of these models
(SPC\cite{Karim90,Abascal07}, SPC/E\cite{Baez95,Arbuckle02,Gay02,Bryk02,Bryk04b,Sanz04b,Gernandez06,Abascal07,Vrbka07}, TIP4P\cite{Karim88,Gao00,Sanz04,Sanz04b,Koyama04,Wang05,Fernandez06,Abascal07}, TIP5P\cite{Sanz04,Koyama04,Wang05,Fernandez06,Abascal07}), 
and the partial or complete phase diagram for the model has been determined
(SPC/E\cite{Baez95,Bryk04b,Sanz04b}, TIP4P\cite{Sanz04,Sanz04b,Koyama04}, TIP5P\cite{Sanz04,Koyama04}). 

Haymet et al. have studied the quiescent Ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$/water interface
using the rigid SPC, SPC/E, TIP4P, and the flexible CF1 water models, and has seen good
agreement for structural and dynamic measurements of the interfacial
width. Given the expansive size of our systems of interest, and the
apparent independence of water model on interfacial width, we have chosen to use the rigid SPC/E
water model in this study.

\subsection{Pyramidal and secondary prismatic ice/water interface construction}
To construct the pyramidal and secondary prismatic ice/water systems,
first a proton-ordered zero dipole crystal of ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$ with exposed strips
of H-atoms and lone pairs was constructed from Structure 6 of Hirsch
and Ojam\"{a}e's recent paper\cite{Hirsch04}. The crystal was then cut
along the plane of the desired facet, and reoriented so that the
$z$-axis was perpdicular to the exposed face. Two orthoganol cuts were
then made to the crystal such that perfect periodic replication could
be perfromed in the $x$ and $y$ dimensions. The slab was then
replicated along the $x$ and $y$ axes until the desired crystal size
was obtained. Liquid water boxes were created having identical
dimensions (in $x$ and$y$) as the ice blocks, and a $z$ dimension of
three times that of the ice block. Each of the ice slabs and water
boxes were independently equilibrated to 50K, and the resulting
systems were merged by carving out any liquid water molecules within 3
\AA\ of any atoms in the ice slabs. Each of the combined ice/water
systems were then equilibrated to 225K, which was found to be a stable
temperature for each of the interfaces over a 5 ns simulation. 
For a more detailed explanation of
the ice/water systems construction, please refer to a previous
paper\cite{Louden13}. The resulting dimensions, number of ice, and liquid water molecules
contained in each of these systems can be seen in Table \ref{tab:method}.
\subsection{Shearing simulations}
% 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. prismatic ice/water systems.
To perform the shearing simulations, the velocity shearing and scaling
varient of reverse nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (VSS-RNEMD) was
conducted. This method performs a series of simultaneous velocity
exchanges between two regions of the simulation cell, to
simultaneously create a velocity and temperature gradient. The thermal
gradient is necessary when performing shearing simulations as to
prevent frictional heating from the shear from melting the
interface. For more details on the VSS-RNEMD method please refer to a
pervious paper\cite{Louden13}.

The computational details performed here were equivalent to those reported
in a previous publication\cite{Louden13}, with the following changes. 
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 canonical (NVT) ensamble 
except those during which configurations were accumulated for the orientational correlation
function, which were performed under the microcanonical (NVE) ensamble. All 
secondary prismatic simulations were performed under the NVE ensamble. 

\subsection{Droplet simulations}
To construct ice surfaces to perform water contact angle calculations
on, ice crystals were created as described earlier (see Pyramidal and
secondary prismatic ice/water interface construction). The crystals
were then cut from the negative $z$ dimension, ensuring the remaining
ice crystal was thicker in $z$ than the potential cutoff. The crystals
were then replicated in $x$ and $y$ until a sufficiently large surface
had been created. The sizes and number of molecules in each of the surfaces is given in Table
\ref{tab:ice_sheets}. Molecular restraints were applied to the center of mass
of the rigid bodies to prevent surface melting, however the molecules were
allowed to reorient themselves freely. The water doplet contained 2048 
SPC/E molecules, which has been found to produce
agreement for the Young contact angle extrapolated to an infinite drop 
size\cite{Daub10}. The surfaces and droplet were independently 
equilibrated to 225 K, at which time the droplet was placed  3-5 \AA\ 
above the positive $z$ dimension of the surface at 5 unique
locations. Each simulation was 5 ns in length and conducted in the NVE ensemble.  


\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 tetrahedral order parameter (Eq 5\cite{Louden13} 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{Bryk04b} 

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:pyrComic}
and \ref{fig:spComic} (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
resulting thermal and velocity gradients from an imposed kinetic energy and
momentum fluxes 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:pyrComic} and \ref{fig:spComic}) 
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 prismatic 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 prismatic, 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 the movement of water over the ice. 


\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 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 eq. \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 eq. \eqref{C(t)1}, each 0.5 ns simulation was 
followed 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
with the three decay constants
$\tau_{short}$ corresponding to the librational motion of the water  
molecules, $\tau_{middle}$ corresponding to jumps between the breaking and 
making of hydrogen bonds, and $\tau_{long}$ corresponding to the translational
motion of the water molecules. An additive constant in the 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 trends approaching the interface  match 
those reported previously for the basal and prismatic interfaces.

As done previously, we have attempted to quantify the distance, $d_{pyramidal}$
and $d_{secondary prismatic}$, 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_{wall}-\tau_{liquid})e^{-(z-z_{wall})/d}
\end{equation}
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,
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 prismatic). 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 interfacial friction coefficient, $\kappa$ by the 
shear viscosity of the fluid at 225 K. The interfacial friction coefficient 
relates the shear stress with the relative velocity of the fluid normal to the 
interface:
\begin{equation}\label{Shenyu-13}
j_{z}(p_{x}) = \kappa[v_{x}(fluid)-v_{x}(solid)]
\end{equation}
where $j_{z}(p_{x})$ is the applied momentum flux (shear stress) across $z$ 
in the 
$x$-dimension, and $v_{x}$(fluid) and $v_{x}$(solid) are the velocities
directly adjacent to the interface. The shear viscosity, $\eta(T)$, of the 
fluid can be determined under a linear response of the momentum 
gradient to the applied shear stress by
\begin{equation}\label{Shenyu-11}
j_{z}(p_{x}) = \eta(T) \frac{\partial v_{x}}{\partial z}.
\end{equation}
Using eqs \eqref{Shenyu-13} and \eqref{Shenyu-11}, we can find the following
expression for $\kappa$,
\begin{equation}\label{kappa-1}
\kappa = \eta(T) \frac{\partial v_{x}}{\partial z}\frac{1}{[v_{x}(fluid)-v_{x}(solid)]}.
\end{equation}
Here is where we will introduce the weighting term of $\eta(225)/\eta(T)$ 
giving us
\begin{equation}\label{kappa-2}
\kappa = \frac{\eta(225)}{[v_{x}(fluid)-v_{x}(solid)]}\frac{\partial v_{x}}{\partial z}.
\end{equation}

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 liquid water molecules was 
equilibrated to 225K, 
and 5 unique shearing experiments were performed. Each experiment was
conducted in the 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 interfacial friction coefficient, $\kappa$, can equivalently be expressed 
as the ratio of the viscosity of the fluid to the slip length, $\delta$, which
is an indication of how 'slippery' the interface is.
\begin{equation}\label{kappa-3}
\kappa = \frac{\eta}{\delta}
\end{equation} 
In each of the systems, the interfacial temperature was kept fixed to 225K, 
which ensured the viscosity of the fluid at the
interace was approximately the same. Thus, any significant variation in
$\kappa$ between
the systems indicates differences in the 'slipperiness' of the interfaces.
As each of the ice systems are sheared relative to liquid water, the
'slipperiness' of the interface can be taken as an indication of how
hydrophobic or hydrophilic the interface is. The calculated $\kappa$ 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 
(amu \AA\textsuperscript{-2} fs\textsuperscript{-1}), while values of 
$\kappa \approx$ 0.0003 (amu \AA\textsuperscript{-2} fs\textsuperscript{-1})
were found for the prismatic and secondary prismatic systems.
These results indicate that the basal and pyramidal facets are
more hydrophilic than the prismatic and secondary prismatic facets.

\subsection{Dynamic water contact angle}
 
To determine the extent of wetting for each of the four crystal
facets, water contact angle simuations were performed. Contact angles
were obtained from these simulations by two methods. In the first
method, the contact angle was obtained from the $z$-center of mass
($z_{c.m.}$) of the water droplet as described by Hautman and Klein\cite{Hautman91}
and utilized by Hirvi and Pakkanen in their investigation of water
droplets on polyethylene and poly(vinyl chloride)
surface\cite{Hirvi06}. At each snapshot of the simulation, the contact
angle, $\theta$, was found by 
\begin{equation}\label{contact_1}
\langle z_{c.m.}\rangle = 2^{-4/3}R_{0}\bigg(\frac{1-cos\theta}{2+cos\theta}\bigg)^{1/3}\frac{3+cos\theta}{2+cos\theta} ,
\end{equation}
where $R_{0}$ is the radius of the free water droplet. In the second
method, the contact angle was obtained from fitting the droplet's
$z$-profile after radial averaging to a
circle as described by Ruijter, Blake, and
Coninck\cite{Ruijter99}. At each snapshot of the simulation the water droplet was
broken into bins, and the location of bin containing half-bulk density was
stored. Due to fluctuations close to the ice, all bins located within
2.0 \AA\ of the ice were discarded. The remaining stored bins were
then fit by a circle, whose tangential intersection with the ice plane could
be used to calculate the water
contact angle. These results proved noisey and unreliable when
compared with the first method, for these purposes we omit the data
from the second method. 

The resulting water contact angle profiles generated by the first method
had an initial value of 180$^{o}$, and decayed over time. Each of
these profiles were fit to a biexponential decay, with a short time
piece to account for the water droplet initially adhering to the
surface, a long time piece describing the spreading of the droplet
over the surface, and an additive constant to capture the infinite
decay of the contact angle. We have found that the rate of the water
droplet spreading across all four crystal facets to be $\approx$ 0.7
ns$^{-1}$. However, the basal and pyramidal facets
had an infinite decay value for $\theta$ of $\approx$ 35$^{o}$, while 
prismatic and secondary prismatic had values for $\theta$ near
43$^{o}$ as seen in Table \ref{tab:kappa}. This indicates that the
basal and pyramidal facets are more hydrophilic than the prismatic and
secondary prismatic. This is in good agreement
with our calculations of friction coefficients, in which the basal
and pyramidal had a higher coefficient of kinetic friction than the
prismatic and secondary prismatic. Due to this, we beleive that the
differences in friction coefficients can be attributed to the varying
hydrophilicities of the facets. 

\section{Conclusion}
We present the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the basal,
prismatic, pyrmaidal
and secondary prismatic facets of an SPC/E model of the 
Ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$/water interface, and show that the differential
coefficients of friction among the four facets are due to their
relative hydrophilicities by means
of water contact angle calculations. To obtain the coefficients of
friction, the ice was sheared through the liquid
water while being exposed to a thermal gradient to maintain a stable 
interface by using the minimally perturbing VSS RNEMD method. Water
contact angles are obtained by fitting the spreading of a liquid water
droplet over the crystal facets.

In agreement with our previous findings for the basal and prismatic facets, the interfacial 
width of the prismatic and secondary prismatic crystal faces were
found to be independent of shear rate as measured by the local 
tetrahedral order parameter. This width was found to be 
3.2~$\pm$ 0.2~\AA\ for both the pyramidal and the secondary prismatic systems.
These values are in good agreement with our previously calculated interfacial
widths for the basal (3.2~$\pm$ 0.4~\AA\ ) and prismatic (3.6~$\pm$ 0.2~\AA\ )
systems. 

Orientational dynamics of the Ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$/water interfaces were studied
by calculation of the orientational time correlation function at varying
displacements normal to the interface. The decays were fit
to a tri-exponential decay, where the three decay constants correspond to
the librational motion of the molecules driven by the restoring forces of 
existing hydrogen bonds ($\tau_{short}$ $\mathcal{O}$(10 fs)), jumps between 
two different hydrogen bonds ($\tau_{middle}$ $\mathcal{O}$(1 ps)), and 
translational motion of the molecules ($\tau_{long}$ $\mathcal{O}$(100 ps)).
$\tau_{short}$ was found to decrease approaching the interface due to the 
constrained motion of the molecules as the local environment becomes more
ice-like. Conversely, the two longer-time decay constants were found to 
increase at small displacements from the interface. As seen in our previous 
work on the basal and prismatic facets, there appears to be a dynamic
interface width at which deviations from the bulk liquid values occur.
We had previously found $d_{basal}$ and $d_{prismatic}$ to be approximately 
2.8~\AA\ and 3.5~\AA. We found good agreement of these values for the 
pyramidal and secondary prismatic systems with $d_{pyramidal}$ and
$d_{secondary prismatic}$ to be 2.7~\AA\ and 3~\AA. For all four of the
facets, no apparent dependence of the dynamic width on the shear rate was 
found.
  
The interfacial friction coefficient, $\kappa$, was determined for each facet
interface. We were able to reach an expression for $\kappa$ as a function of
the velocity profile of the system which is scaled by the viscosity of the liquid
at 225 K. In doing so, we have obtained an expression for $\kappa$ which is 
independent of temperature differences of the liquid water at far displacements
from the interface. We found the basal and pyramidal facets to have
similar $\kappa$ values, of $\kappa \approx$ 6 
(x$10^{-4}$amu \AA\textsuperscript{-2} fs\textsuperscript{-1}). However, the
prismatic and secondary prismatic facets were found to have $\kappa$ values of 
$\kappa \approx$ 3 (x$10^{-4}$amu \AA\textsuperscript{-2} fs\textsuperscript{-1}).
Believing this difference was due to the relative hydrophilicities of
the crystal faces, we have calculated the infinite decay of the water
contact angle, $\theta_{\infty}$, by watching the spreading of a water
droplet over the surface of the crystal facets. We have found
$\theta_{\infty}$ for the basal and pyramidal faces to be $\approx$ 34
degrees, while obtaining $\theta_{\infty}$ of $\approx$ 43 degrees for
the prismatic and secondary prismatic faces. This indicates that the
basal and pyramidal faces of ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$ are more hydrophilic
than the prismatic and secondary prismatic. These results also seem to
explain the differential friction coefficients obtained through the
shearing simulations, namely, that the coefficients of friction of the
ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$ crystal facets are governed by their inherent
hydrophilicities.

% *****************************************
% There is significant interest in the properties of ice/ice and ice/water 
% interfaces in the geophysics community. Most commonly, the results of shearing
% two ice blocks past one 
% another\cite{Casassa91, Sukhorukov13, Pritchard12, Lishman13} or the shearing 
% of ice through water\cite{Cuffey99, Bell08}. Using molecular dynamics 
% simulations, Samadashvili has recently shown that when two smooth ice slabs 
% slide past one another, a stable liquid-like layer develops between 
% them\cite{Samadashvili13}. To fundamentally understand these processes, a 
% molecular understanding of the ice/water interfaces is needed.     

% Investigation of the ice/water interface is also crucial in understanding
% processes such as nucleation, crystal 
% growth,\cite{Han92, Granasy95, Vanfleet95} and crystal 
% melting\cite{Weber83, Han92, Sakai96, Sakai96B}. Insight gained to these
% properties can also be applied to biological systems of interest, such as 
% the behavior of the antifreeze protein found in winter 
% flounder,\cite{Wierzbicki07,Chapsky97} and certain terrestial
% arthropods.\cite{Duman:2001qy,Meister29012013} Elucidating the properties which
% give rise to these processes through experimental techniques can be expensive,
% complicated, and sometimes infeasible. However, through the use of molecular 
% dynamics simulations much of the problems of investigating these properties
% are alleviated.

% Understanding ice/water interfaces inherently begins with the isolated
% systems. There has been extensive work parameterizing models for liquid water,
% such as the SPC\cite{Berendsen81}, SPC/E\cite{Berendsen87}, 
% TIP4P\cite{Jorgensen85}, TIP4P/2005\cite{Abascal05}, 
% ($\dots$), and more recently, models for simulating
% the solid phases of water, such as the TIP4P/Ice\cite{Abascal05b} model. The 
% melting point of various crystal structures of ice have been calculated for 
% many of these models
% (SPC\cite{Karim90,Abascal07}, SPC/E\cite{Baez95,Arbuckle02,Gay02,Bryk02,Bryk04b,Sanz04b,Gernandez06,Abascal07,Vrbka07}, TIP4P\cite{Karim88,Gao00,Sanz04,Sanz04b,Koyama04,Wang05,Fernandez06,Abascal07}, TIP5P\cite{Sanz04,Koyama04,Wang05,Fernandez06,Abascal07}), 
% and the partial or complete phase diagram for the model has been determined
% (SPC/E\cite{Baez95,Bryk04b,Sanz04b}, TIP4P\cite{Sanz04,Sanz04b,Koyama04}, TIP5P\cite{Sanz04,Koyama04}). 
% Knowing the behavior and melting point for these models has enabled an initial 
% investigation of ice/water interfaces. 

% The Ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$/water quiescent interface has been extensively studied 
% over the past 30 years by theory and experiment. Haymet \emph{et al.} have 
% done significant work characterizing and quantifying the width of these 
% interfaces for the SPC,\cite{Karim90} SPC/E,\cite{Gay02,Bryk02}, 
% CF1,\cite{Hayward01,Hayward02} and TIP4P\cite{Karim88} models for water. In 
% recent years, Haymet has focused on investigating the effects cations and 
% anions have on crystal nucleaion and 
% melting.\cite{Bryk04,Smith05,Wilson08,Wilson10} Nada and Furukawa have studied
% the the basal- and prismatic-water interface width\cite{Nada95}, crystal 
% surface restructuring at temperatures approaching the melting 
% point\cite{Nada00}, and the mechanism of ice growth inhibition by antifreeze 
% proteins\cite{Nada08,Nada11,Nada12}. Nada has developed a six-site water model
% for ice/water interfaces near the melting point\cite{Nada03}, and studied the 
% dependence of crystal growth shape on applied pressure\cite{Nada11b}. Using 
% this model, Nada and Furukawa have established differential 
% growth rates for the basal, prismatic, and secondary prismatic facets of 
% Ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$ and found their origins due to a reordering of the hydrogen 
% bond network in water near the interface\cite{Nada05}. While the work 
% described so far has mainly focused on bulk water on ice, there is significant
% interest in thin films of water on ice surfaces as well.  

% It is well known that the surface of ice exhibits a premelting layer at 
% temperatures near the melting point, often called a quasi-liquid layer (QLL).
% Molecular dynamics simulations of the facets of ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$ exposed
% to vacuum performed by Conde, Vega and Patrykiejew have found QLL widths of
% approximately 10 \AA\ at 3 K below the melting point\cite{Conde08}.
% Similarly, Limmer and Chandler have used course grain simulations and 
% statistical field theory to estimated QLL widths at the same temperature to
% be about 3 nm\cite{Limmer14}.
% Recently, Sazaki and Furukawa have developed an experimental technique with 
% sufficient spatial and temporal resolution to visulaize and quantitatively
% analyze QLLs on ice crystals at temperatures near melting\cite{Sazaki10}. They 
% have found the width of the QLLs perpindicular to the surface  at -2.2$^{o}$C 
% to be $\mathcal{O}$(\AA). They have also seen the formation of two immiscible
% QLLs, which displayed different stabilities and dynamics on the crystal 
% surface\cite{Sazaki12}. Knowledge of the hydrophilicities of each
% of the crystal facets would help further our understanding of the properties 
% and dynamics of the QLLs.
  
% Presented here is the follow up to our previous paper\cite{Louden13}, in which
% the basal and prismatic facets of an ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$/water interface were
% investigated where the ice was sheared relative to the liquid. By using a 
% recently developed velocity shearing and scaling approach to reverse 
% non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (VSS-RNEMD), simultaneous temperature and 
% velocity gradients can be applied to the system, which allows for measurment
% of friction and thermal transport properties while maintaining a stable 
% interfacial temperature\cite{Kuang12}. Structural analysis and dynamic
% correlation functions were used to probe the interfacial response to a shear, 
% and the resulting solid/liquid kinetic friction coefficients were reported.
% In this paper we present the same analysis for the pyramidal and secondary 
% prismatic facets, and show that the differential interfacial friction 
% coefficients for the four facets of ice-I$_\mathrm{h}$ are determined by their 
% relative hydrophilicity by means of dynamics water contact angle
% simulations. 

% 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.


% The hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity of a surface can be described by the
% extent a droplet of water wets the surface. The contact angle formed between
% the solid and the liquid, $\theta$, which relates the free energies of the 
% three interfaces involved, is given by Young's equation.
% \begin{equation}\label{young}
% \cos\theta = (\gamma_{sv} - \gamma_{sl})/\gamma_{lv}
% \end{equation} 
% Here $\gamma_{sv}$, $\gamma_{sl}$, and $\gamma_{lv}$ are the free energies
% of the solid/vapor, solid/liquid, and liquid/vapor interfaces respectively.
% Large contact angles ($\theta$ $\gg$ 90\textsuperscript{o}) correspond to low 
% wettability and hydrophobic surfaces, while small contact angles 
% ($\theta$ $\ll$ 90\textsuperscript{o}) correspond to high wettability and 
% hydrophilic surfaces. Experimentally, measurements of the contact angle
% of sessile drops has been used to quantify the extent of wetting on surfaces
% with thermally selective wetting charactaristics\cite{Tadanaga00,Liu04,Sun04},
% as well as nano-pillared surfaces with electrically tunable Cassie-Baxter and 
% Wenzel states\cite{Herbertson06,Dhindsa06,Verplanck07,Ahuja08,Manukyan11}. 
% Luzar and coworkers have done significant work modeling these transitions on 
% nano-patterned surfaces\cite{Daub07,Daub10,Daub11,Ritchie12}, and have found 
% the change in contact angle to be due to the external field perturbing the 
% hydrogen bonding of the liquid/vapor interface\cite{Daub07}.
