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