-+
+The free energies of several ice polymorphs in the low pressure regime
-+
+were calculated using thermodynamic integration of systems consisting
-+
+of a variety of common water models. Ice-{\it i}, a recent
-+
+computationally observed solid structure, was determined to be the
-+
+stable state with the lowest free energy for all the water models
-+
+investigated. Phase diagrams were generated, and melting and boiling
-+
+points for all the models were determined and show relatively good
-+
+agreement with experiment, although the solid phase is different
-+
+between simulation and experiment. In addition, potential truncation
-+
+was shown to have an effect on the calculated free energies, and may
-+
+result in altered free energy landscapes.

+\section{Introduction}
-+
+Molecular dynamics has developed into a valuable tool for studying the
-+
+phase behavior of systems ranging from small or simple
-+
+molecules\cite{Matsumoto02andOthers} to complex biological
-+
+species.\cite{bigStuff} Many techniques have been developed in order
-+
+to investigate the thermodynamic properites of model substances,
-+
+providing both qualitative and quantitative comparisons between
-+
+simulations and experiment.\cite{thermMethods} Investigation of these
-+
+properties leads to the development of new and more accurate models,
-+
+leading to better understanding and depiction of physical processes
-+
+and intricate molecular systems.
-+
-+
+Water has proven to be a challenging substance to depict in
-+
+simulations, and has resulted in a variety of models that attempt to
-+
+describe its behavior under a varying simulation
-+
+conditions.\cite{Berendsen81,Jorgensen83,Bratko85,Berendsen87,Liu96,Mahoney00,Fennell04}
-+
+Many of these models have been used to investigate important physical
-+
+phenomena like phase transitions and the hydrophobic
-+
+effect.\cite{evenMorePapers} With the advent of numerous differing
-+
+models, it is only natural that attention is placed on the properties
-+
+of the models themselves in an attempt to clarify their benefits and
-+
+limitations when applied to a system of interest.\cite{modelProps} One
-+
+important but challenging property to quantify is the free energy,
-+
+particularly of the solid forms of water. Difficulty in these types of
-+
+studies typically arises from the assortment of possible crystalline
-+
+polymorphs that water that water adopts over a wide range of pressures
-+
+and temperatures. There are currently 13 recognized forms of ice, and
-+
+it is a challenging task to investigate the entire free energy
-+
+landscape.\cite{Sanz04} Ideally, research is focused on the phases
-+
+having the lowest free energy, because these phases will dictate the
-+
+true transition temperatures and pressures for their respective model.
-+
-+
+In this paper, standard reference state methods were applied to the
-+
+study of crystalline water polymorphs in the low pressure regime. This
-+
+work is unique in the fact that one of the crystal lattices was
-+
+arrived at through crystallization of a computationally efficient
-+
+water model under constant pressure and temperature
-+
+conditions. Crystallization events are interesting in and of
-+
+themselves\cite{Matsumoto02,Yamada02}; however, the crystal structure
-+
+obtained in this case was different from any previously observed ice
-+
+polymorphs, in experiment or simulation.\cite{Fennell04} This crystal
-+
+was termed Ice-{\it i} in homage to its origin in computational
-+
+simulation. The unit cell (Fig. \ref{iceiCell}A) consists of eight
-+
+water molecules that stack in rows of interlocking water
-+
+tetramers. Proton ordering can be accomplished by orienting two of the
-+
+waters so that both of their donated hydrogen bonds are internal to
-+
+their tetramer (Fig. \ref{protOrder}). As expected in an ice crystal
-+
+constructed of water tetramers, the hydrogen bonds are not as linear
-+
+as those observed in ice $I_h$, however the interlocking of these
-+
+subunits appears to provide significant stabilization to the overall
-+
+crystal. The arrangement of these tetramers results in surrounding
-+
+open octagonal cavities that are typically greater than 6.3 \AA\ in
-+
+diameter. This relatively open overall structure leads to crystals
-+
+that are 0.07 g/cm$^3$ less dense on average than ice $I_h$.

-+
-+
+Results in the previous study indicated that Ice-{\it i} is the
-+
+minimum energy crystal structure for the single point water models
-+
+being studied (for discussions on these single point dipole models,
-+
+see the previous work and related
-+
+articles\cite{Fennell04,Ichiye96,Bratko85}). Those results only
-+
+consider energetic stabilization and neglect entropic contributions to
-+
+the overall free energy. To address this issue, the absolute free
-+
+energy of this crystal was calculated using thermodynamic integration
-+
+and compared to the free energies of cubic and hexagonal ice $I$ (the
-+
+experimental low density ice polymorphs) and ice B (a higher density,
-+
+but very stable crystal structure observed by B\`{a}ez and Clancy in
-+
+free energy studies of SPC/E).\cite{Baez95b} This work includes
-+
+results for the water model from which Ice-{\it i} was crystallized
-+
+(soft sticky dipole extended, SSD/E) in addition to several common
-+
+water models (TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P, and SPC/E) and a reaction field
-+
+parametrized single point dipole water model (soft sticky dipole
-+
+reaction field, SSD/RF). In should be noted that a second version of
-+
+Ice-{\it i} (Ice-2{\it i}) was used in calculations involving SPC/E,
-+
+TIP4P, and TIP5P. The unit cell of this crystal (Fig. \ref{iceiCell}B)
-+
+is similar to the Ice-{\it i} unit it is extended in the direction of
-+
+the (001) face and compressed along the other two faces.
-+
+\section{Methods}
-+
+Canonical ensemble (NVT) molecular dynamics calculations were
-+
+performed using the OOPSE (Object-Oriented Parallel Simulation Engine)
-+
+molecular mechanics package. All molecules were treated as rigid
-+
+bodies, with orientational motion propagated using the symplectic DLM
-+
+integration method. Details about the implementation of these
-+
+techniques can be found in a recent publication.\cite{Meineke05}
-+
-+
+Thermodynamic integration was utilized to calculate the free energy of
-+
+several ice crystals at 200 K using the TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P, SPC/E,
-+
+SSD/RF, and SSD/E water models. Liquid state free energies at 300 and
-+
+K for all of these water models were also determined using this
-+
+same technique, in order to determine melting points and generate
-+
+phase diagrams. All simulations were carried out at densities
-+
+resulting in a pressure of approximately 1 atm at their respective
-+
+temperatures.
-+
-+
+A single thermodynamic integration involves a sequence of simulations
-+
+over which the system of interest is converted into a reference system
-+
+for which the free energy is known. This transformation path is then
-+
+integrated in order to determine the free energy difference between
-+
+the two states:
-+
+\begin{equation}
-+
+\Delta A = \int_0^1\left\langle\frac{\partial V(\lambda
-+
+)}{\partial\lambda}\right\rangle_\lambda d\lambda,
-+
+\end{equation}
-+
+where $V$ is the interaction potential and $\lambda$ is the
-+
+transformation parameter that scales the overall
-+
+potential. Simulations are distributed unevenly along this path in
-+
+order to sufficiently sample the regions of greatest change in the
-+
+potential. Typical integrations in this study consisted of $\sim$25
-+
+simulations ranging from 300 ps (for the unaltered system) to 75 ps
-+
+(near the reference state) in length.
-+
-+
+For the thermodynamic integration of molecular crystals, the Einstein
-+
+Crystal is chosen as the reference state that the system is converted
-+
+to over the course of the simulation. In an Einstein Crystal, the
-+
+molecules are harmonically restrained at their ideal lattice locations
-+
+and orientations. The partition function for a molecular crystal
-+
+restrained in this fashion has been evaluated, and the Helmholtz Free
-+
+Energy ({\it A}) is given by
-+
+\begin{eqnarray}
-+
+A = E_m\ -\ kT\ln \left (\frac{kT}{h\nu}\right )^3&-&kT\ln \left
-+
+[\pi^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{A}kT}{h^2}\right
-+
+)^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{B}kT}{h^2}\right
-+
+)^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{C}kT}{h^2}\right
-+
+)^\frac{1}{2}\right ] \nonumber \\ &-& kT\ln \left [\frac{kT}{2(\pi
-+
+K_\omega K_\theta)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\exp\left
-+
+(-\frac{kT}{2K_\theta}\right)\int_0^{\left (\frac{kT}{2K_\theta}\right
-+
+)^\frac{1}{2}}\exp(t^2)\mathrm{d}t\right ],
-+
+\label{ecFreeEnergy}
-+
+\end{eqnarray}
-+
+where $2\pi\nu = (K_\mathrm{v}/m)^{1/2}$.\cite{Baez95a} In equation
-+
+\ref{ecFreeEnergy}, $K_\mathrm{v}$, $K_\mathrm{\theta}$, and
-+
+$K_\mathrm{\omega}$ are the spring constants restraining translational
-+
+motion and deflection of and rotation around the principle axis of the
-+
+molecule respectively (Fig. \ref{waterSpring}), and $E_m$ is the
-+
+minimum potential energy of the ideal crystal. In the case of
-+
+molecular liquids, the ideal vapor is chosen as the target reference
-+
+state.
-+
+\begin{figure}
-+
+\includegraphics[scale=1.0]{rotSpring.eps}
-+
+\caption{Possible orientational motions for a restrained molecule.
-+
+$\theta$ angles correspond to displacement from the body-frame {\it
-+
+z}-axis, while $\omega$ angles correspond to rotation about the
-+
+body-frame {\it z}-axis. $K_\theta$ and $K_\omega$ are spring
-+
+constants for the harmonic springs restraining motion in the $\theta$
-+
+and $\omega$ directions.}
-+
+\label{waterSpring}
-+
+\end{figure}
-+
-+
+Charge, dipole, and Lennard-Jones interactions were modified by a
-+
+cubic switching between 100\% and 85\% of the cutoff value (9 \AA
-+
+). By applying this function, these interactions are smoothly
-+
+truncated, thereby avoiding poor energy conserving dynamics resulting
-+
+from harsher truncation schemes. The effect of a long-range correction
-+
+was also investigated on select model systems in a variety of
-+
+manners. For the SSD/RF model, a reaction field with a fixed
-+
+dielectric constant of 80 was applied in all
-+
+simulations.\cite{Onsager36} For a series of the least computationally
-+
+expensive models (SSD/E, SSD/RF, and TIP3P), simulations were
-+
+performed with longer cutoffs of 12 and 15 \AA\ to compare with the 9
-+
+\AA\ cutoff results. Finally, results from the use of an Ewald
-+
+summation were estimated for TIP3P and SPC/E by performing
-+
+calculations with Particle-Mesh Ewald (PME) in the TINKER molecular
-+
+mechanics software package.\cite{Tinker} TINKER was chosen because it
-+
+can also propagate the motion of rigid-bodies, and provides the most
-+
+direct comparison to the results from OOPSE. The calculated energy
-+
+difference in the presence and absence of PME was applied to the
-+
+previous results in order to predict changes in the free energy
-+
+landscape.
-+
+\section{Results and discussion}
-+
-+
+The free energy of proton ordered Ice-{\it i} was calculated and
-+
+compared with the free energies of proton ordered variants of the
-+
+experimentally observed low-density ice polymorphs, $I_h$ and $I_c$,
-+
+as well as the higher density ice B, observed by B\`{a}ez and Clancy
-+
+and thought to be the minimum free energy structure for the SPC/E
-+
+model at ambient conditions (Table \ref{freeEnergy}).\cite{Baez95b}
-+
+Ice XI, the experimentally observed proton ordered variant of ice
-+
+$I_h$, was investigated initially, but it was found not to be as
-+
+stable as antiferroelectric variants of proton ordered or even proton
-+
+disordered ice$I_h$.\cite{Davidson84} The proton ordered variant of
-+
+ice $I_h$ used here is a simple antiferroelectric version that has an
-+
+molecule unit cell. The crystals contained 648 or 1728 molecules for
-+
+ice B, 1024 or 1280 molecules for ice $I_h$, 1000 molecules for ice
-+
+$I_c$, or 1024 molecules for Ice-{\it i}. The larger crystal sizes
-+
+were necessary for simulations involving larger cutoff values.

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

+TIP4P in the high pressure regime.\cite{Sanz04}

-+
-+
+Table \ref{meltandboil} lists the melting and boiling temperatures
-+
+calculated from this work. 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
-+
+advantageous 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.

-+
-+
+Increasing the cutoff radius in simulations of the more
-+
+computationally efficient water models was done in order to evaluate
-+
+the trend in free energy values when moving to systems that do not
-+
+involve potential truncation. As seen in Fig. \ref{incCutoff}, the
-+
+free energy of all the ice polymorphs show a substantial dependence on
-+
+cutoff radius. In general, there is a narrowing of the free energy
-+
+differences while moving to greater cutoff radius. Interestingly, by
-+
+increasing the cutoff radius, the free energy gap was narrowed enough
-+
+in the SSD/E model that the liquid state is preferred under standard
-+
+simulation conditions (298 K and 1 atm). Thus, it is recommended that
-+
+simulations using this model choose interaction truncation radii
-+
+greater than 9 \AA\. This narrowing trend is much more subtle in the
-+
+case of SSD/RF, indicating that the free energies calculated with a
-+
+reaction field present provide a more accurate picture of the free
-+
+energy landscape in the absence of potential truncation.
-+
-+
+To further study the changes resulting to the inclusion of a
-+
+long-range interaction correction, the effect of an Ewald summation
-+
+was estimated by applying the potential energy difference do to its
-+
+inclusion in systems in the presence and absence of the
-+
+correction. This was accomplished by calculation of the potential
-+
+energy of identical crystals with and without PME using TINKER. The
-+
+free energies for the investigated polymorphs using the TIP3P and
-+
+SPC/E water models are shown in Table \ref{pmeShift}. TIP4P and TIP5P
-+
+are not fully supported in TINKER, so the results for these models
-+
+could not be estimated. The same trend pointed out through increase of
-+
+cutoff radius is observed in these PME results. Ice-{\it i} is the
-+
+preferred polymorph at ambient conditions for both the TIP3P and SPC/E
-+
+water models; however, there is a narrowing of the free energy
-+
+differences between the various solid forms. In the case of SPC/E this
-+
+narrowing is significant enough that it becomes less clear cut that
-+
+Ice-{\it i} is the most stable polymorph, and is possibly metastable
-+
+with respect to ice B and possibly ice $I_c$. However, these results
-+
+do not significantly alter the finding that the Ice-{\it i} polymorph
-+
+is a stable crystal structure that should be considered when studying
-+
+the phase behavior of water models.

+\section{Conclusions}
-+
+The free energy for proton ordered variants of hexagonal and cubic ice
-+
+$I$, ice B, and recently discovered Ice-{\it i} where calculated under
-+
+standard conditions for several common water models via thermodynamic
-+
+integration. All the water models studied show Ice-{\it i} to be the
-+
+minimum free energy crystal structure in the with a 9 \AA\ switching
-+
+function cutoff. Calculated melting and boiling points show
-+
+surprisingly good agreement with the experimental values; however, the
-+
+solid phase at 1 atm is Ice-{\it i}, not ice $I_h$. The effect of
-+
+interaction truncation was investigated through variation of the
-+
+cutoff radius, use of a reaction field parameterized model, and
-+
+estimation of the results in the presence of the Ewald summation
-+
+correction. Interaction truncation has a significant effect on the
-+
+computed free energy values, and may significantly alter the free
-+
+energy landscape for the more complex multipoint water models. Despite
-+
+these effects, these results show Ice-{\it i} to be an important ice
-+
+polymorph that should be considered in simulation studies.
-+
-+
+Due to this relative stability of Ice-{\it i} in all manner of
-+
+investigated simulation examples, the question arises as to possible
-+
+experimental observation of this polymorph. The rather extensive past
-+
+and current experimental investigation of water in the low pressure
-+
+regime leads the authors to be hesitant in ascribing relevance outside
-+
+of computational models, hence the descriptive name presented. That
-+
+being said, there are certain experimental conditions that would
-+
+provide the most ideal situation for possible observation. These
-+
+include the negative pressure or stretched solid regime, small
-+
+clusters in vacuum deposition environments, and in clathrate
-+
+structures involving small non-polar molecules.
