106 + Charge, dipole, and Lennard-Jones interactions were modified by a
107 + cubic switching between 100\% and 85\% of the cutoff value (9 \AA ). By
108 + applying this function, these interactions are smoothly truncated,
109 + thereby avoiding poor energy conserving dynamics resulting from
110 + harsher truncation schemes. The effect of a long-range correction was
111 + also investigated on select model systems in a variety of manners. For
112 + the SSD/RF model, a reaction field with a fixed dielectric constant of
113 + 80 was applied in all simulations.\cite{Onsager36} For a series of the
114 + least computationally expensive models (SSD/E, SSD/RF, and TIP3P),
115 + simulations were performed with longer cutoffs of 12 and 15 \AA\ to
116 + compare with the 9 \AA\ cutoff results. Finally, results from the use
117 + of an Ewald summation were estimated for TIP3P and SPC/E by performing
118 + calculations with Particle-Mesh Ewald (PME) in the TINKER molecular
119 + mechanics software package. TINKER was chosen because it can also
120 + propogate the motion of rigid-bodies, and provides the most direct
121 + comparison to the results from OOPSE. The calculated energy difference
122 + in the presence and absence of PME was applied to the previous results
123 + in order to predict changes in the free energy landscape.

127 + The free energy of proton ordered Ice-{\it i} was calculated and
128 + compared with the free energies of proton ordered variants of the
129 + experimentally observed low-density ice polymorphs, $I_h$ and $I_c$,
130 + as well as the higher density ice B, observed by B\`{a}ez and Clancy
131 + and thought to be the minimum free energy structure for the SPC/E
132 + model at ambient conditions (Table \ref{freeEnergy}).\cite{Baez95b}
133 + Ice XI, the experimentally observed proton ordered variant of ice
134 + $I_h$, was investigated initially, but it was found not to be as
135 + stable as antiferroelectric variants of proton ordered or even proton
136 + disordered ice$I_h$.\cite{Davidson84} The proton ordered variant of
137 + ice $I_h$ used here is a simple antiferroelectric version that has an
138 + 8 molecule unit cell. The crystals contained 648 or 1728 molecules for
139 + ice B, 1024 or 1280 molecules for ice $I_h$, 1000 molecules for ice
140 + $I_c$, or 1024 molecules for Ice-{\it i}. The larger crystal sizes
141 + were necessary for simulations involving larger cutoff values.

167 + The free energy values computed for the studied polymorphs indicate
168 + that Ice-{\it i} is the most stable state for all of the common water
169 + models studied. With the free energy at these state points, the
170 + temperature and pressure dependence of the free energy was used to
171 + project to other state points and build phase diagrams. Figures
172 + \ref{tp3phasedia} and \ref{ssdrfphasedia} are example diagrams built
173 + from the free energy results. All other models have similar structure,
174 + only the crossing points between these phases exist at different
175 + temperatures and pressures. It is interesting to note that ice $I$
176 + does not exist in either cubic or hexagonal form in any of the phase
177 + diagrams for any of the models. For purposes of this study, ice B is
178 + representative of the dense ice polymorphs. A recent study by Sanz
179 + {\it et al.} goes into detail on the phase diagrams for SPC/E and
180 + TIP4P in the high pressure regime.\cite{Sanz04}

187 + higher in energy and don't appear in the phase diagram.}

196 + TIP3P) exhibits phase behavior similar to the less computationally
197 + conservative charge based models.}

219 +
220 + Table \ref{meltandboil} lists the melting and boiling temperatures
221 + calculated from this work. Surprisingly, most of these models have
222 + melting points that compare quite favorably with experiment. The
223 + unfortunate aspect of this result is that this phase change occurs
224 + between Ice-{\it i} and the liquid state rather than ice $I_h$ and the
225 + liquid state. These results are actually not contrary to previous
226 + studies in the literature. Earlier free energy studies of ice $I$
227 + using TIP4P predict a $T_m$ ranging from 214 to 238 K (differences
228 + being attributed to choice of interaction truncation and different
229 + ordered and disordered molecular arrangements). If the presence of ice
230 + B and Ice-{\it i} were omitted, a $T_m$ value around 210 K would be
231 + predicted from this work. However, the $T_m$ from Ice-{\it i} is
232 + calculated at 265 K, significantly higher in temperature than the
233 + previous studies. Also of interest in these results is that SSD/E does
234 + not exhibit a melting point at 1 atm, but it shows a sublimation point
235 + at 355 K. This is due to the significant stability of Ice-{\it i} over
236 + all other polymorphs for this particular model under these
237 + conditions. While troubling, this behavior turned out to be
238 + advantagious in that it facilitated the spontaneous crystallization of
239 + Ice-{\it i}. These observations provide a warning that simulations of
240 + SSD/E as a ``liquid'' near 300 K are actually metastable and run the
241 + risk of spontaneous crystallization. However, this risk changes when
242 + applying a longer cutoff.
