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. |

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 |
|

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. |

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. |

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. |

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} |

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. |

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. |

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. |

\section{Conclusions} |

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. |
