51 \section{Methods}
52
53 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 several ice crystals using the TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P, SPC/E, and SSD/E
62 water models. Liquid state free energies at 300 and 400 K for all of
63 these water models were also determined using this same technique, in
64 order to determine melting points and generate phase diagrams.
65
66 For the thermodynamic integration of molecular crystals, the Einstein
67 Crystal is chosen as the reference state that the system is converted
68 to over the course of the simulation. In an Einstein Crystal, the
69 molecules are harmonically restrained at their ideal lattice locations
70 and orientations. The partition function for a molecular crystal
71 restrained in this fashion has been evaluated, and the Helmholtz Free
72 Energy ({\it A}) is given by
73 \begin{eqnarray}
74 A = E_m\ -\ kT\ln \left (\frac{kT}{h\nu}\right )^3&-&kT\ln \left
75 [\pi^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{A}kT}{h^2}\right
76 )^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{B}kT}{h^2}\right
77 )^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{C}kT}{h^2}\right
78 )^\frac{1}{2}\right ] \nonumber \\ &-& kT\ln \left [\frac{kT}{2(\pi
79 K_\omega K_\theta)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\exp\left
80 (-\frac{kT}{2K_\theta}\right)\int_0^{\left (\frac{kT}{2K_\theta}\right
81 )^\frac{1}{2}}\exp(t^2)\mathrm{d}t\right ],
82 \label{ecFreeEnergy}
83 \end{eqnarray}
84 where $2\pi\nu = (K_\mathrm{v}/m)^{1/2}$.\cite{Baez95a} In equation
85 \ref{ecFreeEnergy}, $K_\mathrm{v}$, $K_\mathrm{\theta}$, and
86 $K_\mathrm{\omega}$ are the spring constants restraining translational
87 motion and deflection of and rotation around the principle axis of the
88 molecule respectively (Fig. \ref{waterSpring}), and $E_m$ is the
89 minimum potential energy of the ideal crystal. In the case of
90 molecular liquids, the ideal vapor is chosen as the target reference
91 state.
