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 |
40 |

stable state with the lowest free energy for all the water models |

investigated. Phase diagrams were generated, and melting and boiling |
42 |

points for all the models were determined and show relatively good |

agreement with experiment, although the solid phase is different |
44 |

between simulation and experiment. In addition, potential truncation |

result in altered free energy landscapes. |

were calculated using thermodynamic integration. These integrations |

water models, was determined to be the stable crystalline state (at 1 |

atm) for {\it all} the water models investigated. Phase diagrams were |

generated, and phase coexistence lines were determined for all of the |
43 |

known low-pressure ice structures under all of the common water |

models. Additionally, potential truncation was shown to have an |

\section{Introduction} |

57 |
< |
Molecular dynamics has developed into a valuable tool for studying the |
58 |
< |
phase behavior of systems ranging from small or simple |
59 |
< |
molecules\cite{smallStuff} to complex biological |
60 |
< |
species.\cite{bigStuff} Many techniques have been developed in order |
61 |
< |
to investigate the thermodynamic properites of model substances, |
62 |
< |
providing both qualitative and quantitative comparisons between |
63 |
< |
simulations and experiment.\cite{thermMethods} Investigation of these |
64 |
< |
properties leads to the development of new and more accurate models, |
65 |
< |
leading to better understanding and depiction of physical processes |
66 |
< |
and intricate molecular systems. |

Computer simulations are a valuable tool for studying the phase |
58 |

behavior of systems ranging from small or simple molecules to complex |
59 |

biological species.\cite{Matsumoto02,Li96,Marrink01} Useful techniques |
60 |

have been developed to investigate the thermodynamic properites of |
61 |

model substances, providing both qualitative and quantitative |

|
Water has proven to be a challenging substance to depict in |
69 |
< |
simulations, and has resulted in a variety of models that attempt to |
70 |
< |
describe its behavior under a varying simulation |
71 |
< |
conditions.\cite{lotsOfWaterPapers} Many of these models have been |
72 |
< |
used to investigate important physical phenomena like phase |
73 |
< |
transitions and the hydrophobic effect.\cite{evenMorePapers} With the |
74 |
< |
advent of numerous differing models, it is only natural that attention |
75 |
< |
is placed on the properties of the models themselves in an attempt to |
76 |
< |
clarify their benefits and limitations when applied to a system of |
77 |
< |
interest.\cite{modelProps} One important but challenging property to |
78 |
< |
quantify is the free energy, particularly of the solid forms of |
79 |
< |
water. Difficulty in these types of studies typically arises from the |
80 |
< |
assortment of possible crystalline polymorphs that water that water |
81 |
< |
adopts over a wide range of pressures and temperatures. There are |
82 |
< |
currently 13 recognized forms of ice, and it is a challenging task to |
83 |
< |
investigate the entire free energy landscape.\cite{Sanz04} Ideally, |
84 |
< |
research is focused on the phases having the lowest free energy, |
85 |
< |
because these phases will dictate the true transition temperatures and |
86 |
< |
pressures for their respective model. |

These models have been used to investigate important physical |
73 |

phenomena like phase transitions, molecule transport, and the |
74 |

hydrophobic effect.\cite{Yamada02,Marrink94,Gallagher03} With the |
75 |

choice of models available, it is only natural to compare the models |
76 |
> |
under interesting thermodynamic conditions in an attempt to clarify |
77 |
> |
the limitations of each of the |
78 |
> |
models.\cite{Jorgensen83,Jorgensen98b,Clancy94,Mahoney01} Two |
79 |

important property to quantify are the Gibbs and Helmholtz free |
80 |

energies, particularly for the solid forms of water. Difficulty in |
81 |

these types of studies typically arises from the assortment of |
82 |

phases having the lowest free energy at a given state point, because |

these phases will dictate the true transition temperatures and |

In this paper, standard reference state methods were applied to the |
91 |
< |
study of crystalline water polymorphs in the low pressure regime. This |
92 |
< |
work is unique in the fact that one of the crystal lattices was |
93 |
< |
arrived at through crystallization of a computationally efficient |
94 |
< |
water model under constant pressure and temperature |
95 |
< |
conditions. Crystallization events are interesting in and of |
96 |
< |
themselves\cite{nucleationStudies}; however, the crystal structure |
97 |
< |
obtained in this case was different from any previously observed ice |
98 |
< |
polymorphs, in experiment or simulation.\cite{Fennell04} This crystal |
99 |

was termed Ice-{\it i} in homage to its origin in computational |

molecules so that both of their donated hydrogen bonds are internal to |

105 |

constructed of water tetramers, the hydrogen bonds are not as linear |
106 |

as those observed in ice $I_h$, however the interlocking of these |

open octagonal cavities that are typically greater than 6.3 \AA\ in |

that are 0.07 g/cm$^3$ less dense on average than ice $I_h$. |

and compared to the free energies of cubic and hexagonal ice $I$ (the |

experimental low density ice polymorphs) and ice B (a higher density, |

143 |

free energy studies of SPC/E).\cite{Baez95b} This work includes |

results for the water model from which Ice-{\it i} was crystallized |
145 |

(soft sticky dipole extended, SSD/E) in addition to several common |
146 |

147 |

parametrized single point dipole water model (soft sticky dipole |
148 |

reaction field, SSD/RF). In should be noted that a second version of |
149 |
< |
Ice-{\it i} (Ice-2{\it i}) was used in calculations involving SPC/E, |
150 |

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 |
152 |

the (001) face and compressed along the other two faces. |

\section{Methods} |

|
|
156 |
|
Canonical ensemble (NVT) molecular dynamics calculations were |
157 |
< |
performed using the OOPSE (Object-Oriented Parallel Simulation Engine) |
158 |
< |
molecular mechanics package. All molecules were treated as rigid |
159 |
< |
bodies, with orientational motion propagated using the symplectic DLM |
160 |
< |
integration method. Details about the implementation of these |
161 |
< |
techniques can be found in a recent publication.\cite{Meineke05} |

162 |
|
|
163 |
< |
Thermodynamic integration was utilized to calculate the free energy of |
164 |
< |
several ice crystals at 200 K using the TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P, SPC/E, |
165 |
< |
SSD/RF, and SSD/E water models. Liquid state free energies at 300 and |
166 |
< |
400 K for all of these water models were also determined using this |
167 |
< |
same technique, in order to determine melting points and generate |
163 |

164 |

determination of free energies of condensed phases of |
165 |

materials.\cite{Frenkel84,Hermens88,Meijer90,Baez95a,Vlot99}. This |
166 |

method, implemented in the same manner illustrated by B\`{a}ez and |
167 |
> |
Clancy, was utilized to calculate the free energy of several ice |
168 |
> |
crystals at 200 K using the TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P, SPC/E, SSD/RF, and |
169 |
> |
SSD/E water models.\cite{Baez95a} Liquid state free energies at 300 |
170 |
> |
and 400 K for all of these water models were also determined using |
171 |
> |
this same technique in order to determine melting points and generate |
172 |
|
phase diagrams. All simulations were carried out at densities |
173 |
|
resulting in a pressure of approximately 1 atm at their respective |
174 |
|
temperatures. |
175 |
|
|
176 |
|
A single thermodynamic integration involves a sequence of simulations |
177 |
|
over which the system of interest is converted into a reference system |
178 |
< |
for which the free energy is known. This transformation path is then |
179 |
< |
integrated in order to determine the free energy difference between |
180 |
< |
the two states: |
178 |
> |
for which the free energy is known analytically. This transformation |
179 |
> |
path is then integrated in order to determine the free energy |
180 |
> |
difference between the two states: |
181 |
|
\begin{equation} |
182 |
|
\Delta A = \int_0^1\left\langle\frac{\partial V(\lambda |
183 |
|
)}{\partial\lambda}\right\rangle_\lambda d\lambda, |
184 |
|
\end{equation} |
185 |
|
where $V$ is the interaction potential and $\lambda$ is the |
186 |
|
transformation parameter that scales the overall |
187 |
< |
potential. Simulations are distributed unevenly along this path in |
188 |
< |
order to sufficiently sample the regions of greatest change in the |
187 |
> |
potential. Simulations are distributed strategically along this path |
188 |
> |
in order to sufficiently sample the regions of greatest change in the |
189 |
|
potential. Typical integrations in this study consisted of $\sim$25 |
190 |
|
simulations ranging from 300 ps (for the unaltered system) to 75 ps |
191 |
|
(near the reference state) in length. |
192 |
|
|
193 |
|
For the thermodynamic integration of molecular crystals, the Einstein |
194 |
< |
Crystal is chosen as the reference state that the system is converted |
195 |
< |
to over the course of the simulation. In an Einstein Crystal, the |
196 |
< |
molecules are harmonically restrained at their ideal lattice locations |
197 |
< |
and orientations. The partition function for a molecular crystal |
198 |
< |
restrained in this fashion has been evaluated, and the Helmholtz Free |
199 |
< |
Energy ({\it A}) is given by |
194 |
> |
crystal was chosen as the reference system. In an Einstein crystal, |
195 |
> |
the molecules are restrained at their ideal lattice locations and |
196 |
> |
orientations. Using harmonic restraints, as applied by B\`{a}ez and |
197 |
> |
Clancy, the total potential for this reference crystal |
198 |
> |
($V_\mathrm{EC}$) is the sum of all the harmonic restraints, |
199 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
200 |
> |
V_\mathrm{EC} = \frac{K_\mathrm{v}r^2}{2} + \frac{K_\theta\theta^2}{2} + |
201 |
> |
\frac{K_\omega\omega^2}{2}, |
202 |
> |
\end{equation} |
203 |
> |
where $K_\mathrm{v}$, $K_\mathrm{\theta}$, and $K_\mathrm{\omega}$ are |
204 |
> |
the spring constants restraining translational motion and deflection |
205 |
> |
of and rotation around the principle axis of the molecule |
206 |
> |
respectively. It is clear from Fig. \ref{waterSpring} that the values |
207 |
> |
of $\theta$ range from $0$ to $\pi$, while $\omega$ ranges from |
208 |
> |
$-\pi$ to $\pi$. The partition function for a molecular crystal |
209 |
> |
restrained in this fashion can be evaluated analytically, and the |
210 |

Helmholtz Free Energy ({\it A}) is given by |
211 |
|
\begin{eqnarray} |
212 |
|
A = E_m\ -\ kT\ln \left (\frac{kT}{h\nu}\right )^3&-&kT\ln \left |
213 |
|
[\pi^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{A}kT}{h^2}\right |
219 |
|
)^\frac{1}{2}}\exp(t^2)\mathrm{d}t\right ], |

In the case of molecular liquids, the ideal vapor is chosen as the |

238 |
+ |
free energy calculations of water models present in the |
239 |
+ |
literature.\cite{Hermens88,Quintana92,Mezei92,Baez95b} These methods |
240 |
+ |
typically differ in regard to the path taken for switching off the |
241 |
+ |
interaction potential to convert the system to an ideal gas of water |
242 |
+ |
molecules. In this study, we apply of one of the most convenient |
243 |
+ |
methods and integrate over the $\lambda^4$ path, where all interaction |
244 |
+ |
parameters are scaled equally by this transformation parameter. This |
245 |
+ |
method has been shown to be reversible and provide results in |
246 |
+ |
excellent agreement with other established methods.\cite{Baez95b} |

Charge, dipole, and Lennard-Jones interactions were modified by a |

cubic switching between 100\% and 85\% of the cutoff value (9 \AA ). By |
250 |

applying this function, these interactions are smoothly truncated, |
251 |
< |
thereby avoiding poor energy conserving dynamics resulting from |
252 |
< |
harsher truncation schemes. The effect of a long-range correction was |
253 |
< |
also investigated on select model systems in a variety of manners. For |
254 |

the SSD/RF model, a reaction field with a fixed dielectric constant of |
255 |

257 |

computed free energy values, and may significantly alter the free |

Due to this relative stability of Ice-{\it i} in all manner of |

of computational models, hence the descriptive name presented. That |
