36 + The absolute free energies of several ice polymorphs which are stable
37 + at low pressures were calculated using thermodynamic integration to a
38 + reference system (the Einstein crystal).  These integrations were
39 + performed for most of the common water models (SPC/E, TIP3P, TIP4P,
40 + TIP5P, SSD/E, SSD/RF). Ice-{\it i}, a structure we recently observed
41 + crystallizing at room temperature for one of the single-point water
42 + models, was determined to be the stable crystalline state (at 1 atm)
43 + for {\it all} the water models investigated.  Phase diagrams were
44 + generated, and phase coexistence lines were determined for all of the
45 + known low-pressure ice structures under all of these water models.
46 + Additionally, potential truncation was shown to have an effect on the
47 + calculated free energies, and can result in altered free energy
48 + landscapes.  Structure factor predictions for the new crystal were
49 + generated and we await experimental confirmation of the existence of
50 + this new polymorph.

59   \section{Introduction}
60  
61 + Water has proven to be a challenging substance to depict in
62 + simulations, and a variety of models have been developed to describe
63 + its behavior under varying simulation
64 + conditions.\cite{Stillinger74,Rahman75,Berendsen81,Jorgensen83,Bratko85,Berendsen87,Caldwell95,Liu96,Berendsen98,Dill00,Mahoney00,Fennell04}
65 + These models have been used to investigate important physical
66 + phenomena like phase transitions, transport properties, and the
67 + hydrophobic effect.\cite{Yamada02,Marrink94,Gallagher03} With the
68 + choice of models available, it is only natural to compare the models
69 + under interesting thermodynamic conditions in an attempt to clarify
70 + the limitations of each of the
71 + models.\cite{Jorgensen83,Jorgensen98b,Clancy94,Mahoney01} Two
72 + important properties to quantify are the Gibbs and Helmholtz free
73 + energies, particularly for the solid forms of water.  Difficulty in
74 + these types of studies typically arises from the assortment of
75 + possible crystalline polymorphs that water adopts over a wide range of
76 + pressures and temperatures.  There are currently 13 recognized forms
77 + of ice, and it is a challenging task to investigate the entire free
78 + energy landscape.\cite{Sanz04} Ideally, research is focused on the
79 + phases having the lowest free energy at a given state point, because
80 + these phases will dictate the relevant transition temperatures and
81 + pressures for the model.
82 +
83 + In this paper, standard reference state methods were applied to known
84 + crystalline water polymorphs in the low pressure regime.  This work is
85 + unique in that one of the crystal lattices was arrived at through
86 + crystallization of a computationally efficient water model under
87 + constant pressure and temperature conditions. Crystallization events
88 + are interesting in and of themselves;\cite{Matsumoto02,Yamada02}
89 + however, the crystal structure obtained in this case is different from
90 + any previously observed ice polymorphs in experiment or
91 + simulation.\cite{Fennell04} We have named this structure Ice-{\it i}
92 + to indicate its origin in computational simulation. The unit cell
93 + (Fig. \ref{iceiCell}A) consists of eight water molecules that stack in
94 + rows of interlocking water tetramers. Proton ordering can be
95 + accomplished by orienting two of the molecules so that both of their
96 + donated hydrogen bonds are internal to their tetramer
97 + (Fig. \ref{protOrder}). As expected in an ice crystal constructed of
98 + water tetramers, the hydrogen bonds are not as linear as those
99 + observed in ice $I_h$, however the interlocking of these subunits
100 + appears to provide significant stabilization to the overall
101 + crystal. The arrangement of these tetramers results in surrounding
102 + open octagonal cavities that are typically greater than 6.3 \AA\ in
103 + diameter. This relatively open overall structure leads to crystals
104 + that are 0.07 g/cm$^3$ less dense on average than ice $I_h$.
105 +

108 + \caption{Unit cells for (A) Ice-{\it i} and (B) Ice-{\it i}$^\prime$,
109 + the elongated variant of Ice-{\it i}.  The spheres represent the
110 + center-of-mass locations of the water molecules.  The $a$ to $c$
111 + ratios for Ice-{\it i} and Ice-{\it i}$^\prime$ are given by
112 + $a:2.1214c$ and $a:1.7850c$ respectively.}

120 + octagonal pores leads to a crystal structure that is significantly
121 + less dense than ice $I_h$.}
122 + \label{protOrder}
123 + \end{figure}
124 +
125 + Results from our previous study indicated that Ice-{\it i} is the
126 + minimum energy crystal structure for the single point water models we
127 + had investigated (for discussions on these single point dipole models,
128 + see our previous work and related
129 + articles).\cite{Fennell04,Liu96,Bratko85} Those results only
130 + considered energetic stabilization and neglected entropic
131 + contributions to the overall free energy. To address this issue, we
132 + have calculated the absolute free energy of this crystal using
133 + thermodynamic integration and compared to the free energies of cubic
134 + and hexagonal ice $I$ (the experimental low density ice polymorphs)
135 + and ice B (a higher density, but very stable crystal structure
136 + observed by B\`{a}ez and Clancy in free energy studies of
137 + SPC/E).\cite{Baez95b} This work includes results for the water model
138 + from which Ice-{\it i} was crystallized (SSD/E) in addition to several
139 + common water models (TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P, and SPC/E) and a reaction
140 + field parametrized single point dipole water model (SSD/RF). It should
141 + be noted that a second version of Ice-{\it i} (Ice-{\it i}$^\prime$)
142 + was used in calculations involving SPC/E, TIP4P, and TIP5P. The unit
143 + cell of this crystal (Fig. \ref{iceiCell}B) is similar to the Ice-{\it
144 + i} unit it is extended in the direction of the (001) face and
145 + compressed along the other two faces.  There is typically a small
146 + distortion of proton ordered Ice-{\it i}$^\prime$ that converts the
147 + normally square tetramer into a rhombus with alternating approximately
148 + 85 and 95 degree angles.  The degree of this distortion is model
149 + dependent and significant enough to split the tetramer diagonal
150 + location peak in the radial distribution function.

164 < 400 K for all of these water models were also determined using this
165 < same technique, in order to determine melting points and generate
166 < phase diagrams. All simulations were carried out at densities
167 < resulting in a pressure of approximately 1 atm at their respective
168 < temperatures.

163 > materials.\cite{Frenkel84,Hermens88,Meijer90,Baez95a,Vlot99}. This
164 > method, implemented in the same manner illustrated by B\`{a}ez and
165 > Clancy, was utilized to calculate the free energy of several ice
166 > crystals at 200 K using the TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P, SPC/E, SSD/RF, and
167 > SSD/E water models.\cite{Baez95a} Liquid state free energies at 300

173  
174 < A single thermodynamic integration involves a sequence of simulations
175 < over which the system of interest is converted into a reference system
176 < for which the free energy is known. This transformation path is then
177 < integrated in order to determine the free energy difference between
178 < the two states:

183   where $V$ is the interaction potential and $\lambda$ is the
184 < transformation parameter. Simulations are distributed unevenly along
185 < this path in order to sufficiently sample the regions of greatest
186 < change in the potential. Typical integrations in this study consisted
187 < of $\sim$25 simulations ranging from 300 ps (for the unaltered system)
188 < to 75 ps (near the reference state) in length.

234 + In the case of molecular liquids, the ideal vapor is chosen as the
235 + target reference state.  There are several examples of liquid state
236 + free energy calculations of water models present in the
237 + literature.\cite{Hermens88,Quintana92,Mezei92,Baez95b} These methods
238 + typically differ in regard to the path taken for switching off the
239 + interaction potential to convert the system to an ideal gas of water
240 + molecules.  In this study, we applied of one of the most convenient
241 + methods and integrated over the $\lambda^4$ path, where all
242 + interaction parameters are scaled equally by this transformation
243 + parameter.  This method has been shown to be reversible and provide
244 + results in excellent agreement with other established
245 + methods.\cite{Baez95b}

247   Charge, dipole, and Lennard-Jones interactions were modified by a
248 < cubic switching between 100\% and 85\% of the cutoff value (9 \AA ). By
249 < applying this function, these interactions are smoothly truncated,

493 + Due to this relative stability of Ice-{\it i} in all of the
494 + investigated simulation conditions, the question arises as to possible
495 + experimental observation of this polymorph.  The rather extensive past
496 + and current experimental investigation of water in the low pressure
497 + regime makes us hesitant to ascribe any relevance of this work outside
498 + of the simulation community.  It is for this reason that we chose a
499 + name for this polymorph which involves an imaginary quantity.  That
500 + said, there are certain experimental conditions that would provide the
501 + most ideal situation for possible observation. These include the
502 + negative pressure or stretched solid regime, small clusters in vacuum
503 + deposition environments, and in clathrate structures involving small
504 + non-polar molecules.  Figs. \ref{fig:gofr} and \ref{fig:sofq} contain
505 + our predictions for both the pair distribution function ($g_{OO}(r)$)
506 + and the structure factor ($S(\vec{q})$ for ice $I_h$, $I_c$, and for
507 + ice-{\it i} at a temperature of 77K.  In studies of the high and low
508 + density forms of amorphous ice, ``spurious'' diffraction peaks have
509 + been observed experimentally.\cite{Bizid87} It is possible that a
510 + variant of Ice-{\it i} could explain some of this behavior; however,
511 + we will leave it to our experimental colleagues to make the final
512 + determination on whether this ice polymorph is named appropriately
513 + (i.e. with an imaginary number) or if it can be promoted to Ice-0.
