50    
51     \section{Methods}
52    
53 chrisfen 1454 Canonical ensemble (NVT) molecular dynamics calculations were
54     performed using the OOPSE (Object-Oriented Parallel Simulation Engine)
55     molecular mechanics package. All molecules were treated as rigid
56     bodies, with orientational motion propogated using the symplectic DLM
57     integration method. Details about the implementation of these
58     techniques can be found in a recent publication.\cite{Meineke05}
59    
60     Thermodynamic integration was utilized to calculate the free energy of
61 chrisfen 1456 several ice crystals at 200 K using the TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P, SPC/E,
62     SSD/RF, and SSD/E water models. Liquid state free energies at 300 and
63     400 K for all of these water models were also determined using this
64     same technique, in order to determine melting points and generate
65     phase diagrams. All simulations were carried out at densities
66     resulting in a pressure of approximately 1 atm at their respective
67     temperatures.
68 chrisfen 1454
69 chrisfen 1458 A single thermodynamic integration involves a sequence of simulations
70     over which the system of interest is converted into a reference system
71     for which the free energy is known. This transformation path is then
72     integrated in order to determine the free energy difference between
73     the two states:
74     \begin{equation}
75     \begin{center}
76     \Delta A = \int_0^1\left\langle\frac{\partial V(\lambda
77     )}{\partial\lambda}\right\rangle_\lambda d\lambda,
78     \end{center}
79     \end{equation}
80     where $V$ is the interaction potential and $\lambda$ is the
81     transformation parameter. Simulations are distributed unevenly along
82     this path in order to sufficiently sample the regions of greatest
83     change in the potential. Typical integrations in this study consisted
84     of $\sim$25 simulations ranging from 300 ps (for the unaltered system)
85     to 75 ps (near the reference state) in length.
86    
87 chrisfen 1454 For the thermodynamic integration of molecular crystals, the Einstein
88     Crystal is chosen as the reference state that the system is converted
89     to over the course of the simulation. In an Einstein Crystal, the
90     molecules are harmonically restrained at their ideal lattice locations
91     and orientations. The partition function for a molecular crystal
92     restrained in this fashion has been evaluated, and the Helmholtz Free
93     Energy ({\it A}) is given by
94     \begin{eqnarray}
95     A = E_m\ -\ kT\ln \left (\frac{kT}{h\nu}\right )^3&-&kT\ln \left
96     [\pi^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{A}kT}{h^2}\right
97     )^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{B}kT}{h^2}\right
98     )^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{C}kT}{h^2}\right
99     )^\frac{1}{2}\right ] \nonumber \\ &-& kT\ln \left [\frac{kT}{2(\pi
100     K_\omega K_\theta)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\exp\left
101     (-\frac{kT}{2K_\theta}\right)\int_0^{\left (\frac{kT}{2K_\theta}\right
102     )^\frac{1}{2}}\exp(t^2)\mathrm{d}t\right ],
103     \label{ecFreeEnergy}
104     \end{eqnarray}
105     where $2\pi\nu = (K_\mathrm{v}/m)^{1/2}$.\cite{Baez95a} In equation
106     \ref{ecFreeEnergy}, $K_\mathrm{v}$, $K_\mathrm{\theta}$, and
107     $K_\mathrm{\omega}$ are the spring constants restraining translational
108     motion and deflection of and rotation around the principle axis of the
109     molecule respectively (Fig. \ref{waterSpring}), and $E_m$ is the
110     minimum potential energy of the ideal crystal. In the case of
111     molecular liquids, the ideal vapor is chosen as the target reference
112     state.

116     $\theta$ angles correspond to displacement from the body-frame {\it
117     z}-axis, while $\omega$ angles correspond to rotation about the
118     body-frame {\it z}-axis. $K_\theta$ and $K_\omega$ are spring
119     constants for the harmonic springs restraining motion in the $\theta$
120     and $\omega$ directions.}

124 chrisfen 1456 Charge, dipole, and Lennard-Jones interactions were modified by a
125     cubic switching between 100\% and 85\% of the cutoff value (9 \AA ). By
126     applying this function, these interactions are smoothly truncated,
127     thereby avoiding poor energy conserving dynamics resulting from
128     harsher truncation schemes. The effect of a long-range correction was
129     also investigated on select model systems in a variety of manners. For
130     the SSD/RF model, a reaction field with a fixed dielectric constant of
131     80 was applied in all simulations.\cite{Onsager36} For a series of the
132     least computationally expensive models (SSD/E, SSD/RF, and TIP3P),
133     simulations were performed with longer cutoffs of 12 and 15 \AA\ to
134     compare with the 9 \AA\ cutoff results. Finally, results from the use
135     of an Ewald summation were estimated for TIP3P and SPC/E by performing
136     calculations with Particle-Mesh Ewald (PME) in the TINKER molecular
137     mechanics software package. TINKER was chosen because it can also
138     propogate the motion of rigid-bodies, and provides the most direct
139     comparison to the results from OOPSE. The calculated energy difference
140     in the presence and absence of PME was applied to the previous results
141     in order to predict changes in the free energy landscape.

143 chrisfen 1456 \section{Results and discussion}
144 chrisfen 1454
145 chrisfen 1456 The free energy of proton ordered Ice-{\it i} was calculated and
146     compared with the free energies of proton ordered variants of the
147     experimentally observed low-density ice polymorphs, $I_h$ and $I_c$,
148     as well as the higher density ice B, observed by B\`{a}ez and Clancy
149     and thought to be the minimum free energy structure for the SPC/E
150     model at ambient conditions (Table \ref{freeEnergy}).\cite{Baez95b}
151     Ice XI, the experimentally observed proton ordered variant of ice
152     $I_h$, was investigated initially, but it was found not to be as
153     stable as antiferroelectric variants of proton ordered or even proton
154     disordered ice$I_h$.\cite{Davidson84} The proton ordered variant of
155     ice $I_h$ used here is a simple antiferroelectric version that has an
156     8 molecule unit cell. The crystals contained 648 or 1728 molecules for
157     ice B, 1024 or 1280 molecules for ice $I_h$, 1000 molecules for ice
158     $I_c$, or 1024 molecules for Ice-{\it i}. The larger crystal sizes
159     were necessary for simulations involving larger cutoff values.

185 chrisfen 1456 The free energy values computed for the studied polymorphs indicate
186     that Ice-{\it i} is the most stable state for all of the common water
187     models studied. With the free energy at these state points, the
188     temperature and pressure dependence of the free energy was used to
189     project to other state points and build phase diagrams. Figures
190     \ref{tp3phasedia} and \ref{ssdrfphasedia} are example diagrams built
191     from the free energy results. All other models have similar structure,
192     only the crossing points between these phases exist at different
193     temperatures and pressures. It is interesting to note that ice $I$
194     does not exist in either cubic or hexagonal form in any of the phase
195     diagrams for any of the models. For purposes of this study, ice B is
196     representative of the dense ice polymorphs. A recent study by Sanz
197     {\it et al.} goes into detail on the phase diagrams for SPC/E and
198     TIP4P in the high pressure regime.\cite{Sanz04}

237    
238     Table \ref{meltandboil} lists the melting and boiling temperatures
239     calculated from this work. Surprisingly, most of these models have
240     melting points that compare quite favorably with experiment. The
241     unfortunate aspect of this result is that this phase change occurs
242     between Ice-{\it i} and the liquid state rather than ice $I_h$ and the
243     liquid state. These results are actually not contrary to previous
244     studies in the literature. Earlier free energy studies of ice $I$
245     using TIP4P predict a $T_m$ ranging from 214 to 238 K (differences
246     being attributed to choice of interaction truncation and different
247     ordered and disordered molecular arrangements). If the presence of ice
248     B and Ice-{\it i} were omitted, a $T_m$ value around 210 K would be
249     predicted from this work. However, the $T_m$ from Ice-{\it i} is
250     calculated at 265 K, significantly higher in temperature than the
251     previous studies. Also of interest in these results is that SSD/E does
252     not exhibit a melting point at 1 atm, but it shows a sublimation point
253     at 355 K. This is due to the significant stability of Ice-{\it i} over
254     all other polymorphs for this particular model under these
255     conditions. While troubling, this behavior turned out to be
256     advantagious in that it facilitated the spontaneous crystallization of
257     Ice-{\it i}. These observations provide a warning that simulations of
258     SSD/E as a ``liquid'' near 300 K are actually metastable and run the
259     risk of spontaneous crystallization. However, this risk changes when
260     applying a longer cutoff.

267     \AA\. These crystals are unstable at 200 K and rapidly convert into a
268     liquid. The connecting lines are qualitative visual aid.}
269     \label{incCutoff}
270     \end{figure}
271    
272 chrisfen 1457 Increasing the cutoff radius in simulations of the more
273     computationally efficient water models was done in order to evaluate
274     the trend in free energy values when moving to systems that do not
275     involve potential truncation. As seen in Fig. \ref{incCutoff}, the
276     free energy of all the ice polymorphs show a substantial dependence on
277     cutoff radius. In general, there is a narrowing of the free energy
278     differences while moving to greater cutoff radius. This trend is much
279     more subtle in the case of SSD/RF, indicating that the free energies
280     calculated with a reaction field present provide a more accurate
281     picture of the free energy landscape in the absence of potential
282     truncation.
283 chrisfen 1456
284 chrisfen 1457 To further study the changes resulting to the inclusion of a
285     long-range interaction correction, the effect of an Ewald summation
286     was estimated by applying the potential energy difference do to its
287     inclusion in systems in the presence and absence of the
288     correction. This was accomplished by calculation of the potential
289     energy of identical crystals with and without PME using TINKER. The
290     free energies for the investigated polymorphs using the TIP3P and
291     SPC/E water models are shown in Table \ref{pmeShift}. TIP4P and TIP5P
292     are not fully supported in TINKER, so the results for these models
293     could not be estimated. The same trend pointed out through increase of
294     cutoff radius is observed in these results. Ice-{\it i} is the
295     preferred polymorph at ambient conditions for both the TIP3P and SPC/E
296     water models; however, there is a narrowing of the free energy
297     differences between the various solid forms. In the case of SPC/E this
298     narrowing is significant enough that it becomes less clear cut that
299     Ice-{\it i} is the most stable polymorph, and is possibly metastable
300     with respect to ice B and possibly ice $I_c$. However, these results
301     do not significantly alter the finding that the Ice-{\it i} polymorph
302     is a stable crystal structure that should be considered when studying
303     the phase behavior of water models.

325    
326 chrisfen 1458 The free energy for proton ordered variants of hexagonal and cubic ice
327     $I$, ice B, and recently discovered Ice-{\it i} where calculated under
328     standard conditions for several common water models via thermodynamic
329     integration. All the water models studied show Ice-{\it i} to be the
330     minimum free energy crystal structure in the with a 9 \AA\ switching
331     function cutoff. Calculated melting and boiling points show
332     surprisingly good agreement with the experimental values; however, the
333     solid phase at 1 atm is Ice-{\it i}, not ice $I_h$. The effect of
334     interaction truncation was investigated through variation of the
335     cutoff radius, use of a reaction field parameterized model, and
336     estimation of the results in the presence of the Ewald summation
337     correction. Interaction truncation has a significant effect on the
338     computed free energy values, but Ice-{\it i} is still observed to be a
339     relavent ice polymorph in simulation studies.
