In this report, thermodynamic integration was used to determine the |
396 |
< |
absolute free energies of several ice polymorphs. Of the studied |
397 |
< |
crystal forms, Ice-{\it i} was observed to be the stable crystalline |
398 |
< |
state for {\it all} the water models when using a 9.0 \AA\ |
399 |
< |
intermolecular interaction cutoff. Through investigation of possible |
400 |
< |
interaction truncation methods, the free energy was shown to be |
401 |
< |
partially dependent on simulation conditions; however, Ice-{\it i} was |
402 |
< |
still observered to be a stable polymorph of the studied water models. |

So what is the preferred solid polymorph for simulated water? As |
405 |
|
indicated above, the answer appears to be dependent both on the |
410 |
|
pressure conditions, as was done with SSD/E, would aid in the |
411 |
|
identification of their respective preferred structures. This work, |
412 |
|
however, helps illustrate how studies involving one specific model can |
413 |
< |
lead to insight about important behavior of others. In general, the |
412 |
< |
above results support the finding that the Ice-{\it i} polymorph is a |
413 |
< |
stable crystal structure that should be considered when studying the |
414 |
< |
phase behavior of water models. |

We also note that none of the water models used in this study are |
416 |
|
polarizable or flexible models. It is entirely possible that the |

situation for possible observation. These include the negative |
431 |
|
pressure or stretched solid regime, small clusters in vacuum |
432 |
|
deposition environments, and in clathrate structures involving small |
433 |
< |
non-polar molecules. For experimental comparison purposes, example |
434 |
< |
$g_{OO}(r)$ and $S(\vec{q})$ plots were generated for the two Ice-{\it |
435 |
< |
i} variants (along with example ice $I_h$ and $I_c$ plots) at 77K, and |
436 |
< |
they are shown in figures \ref{fig:gofr} and \ref{fig:sofq} |
437 |
< |
respectively. |

results, we have calculated the oxygen-oxygen pair correlation |

function, $g_{OO}(r)$, and the structure factor, $S(\vec{q})$ for the |

structure factors for Ice-{\it i}$^\prime$ and Ice-I$_c$ are quite similar. |
440 |

The primary differences are small peaks at 1.125, 2.29, and 2.53 |
441 |

\AA${-1}$, so particular attention to these regions would be needed |
442 |

to identify the new {\it i}$^\prime$ variant from the I$_{c}$ variant. |
