We have tested the real-space shifted potential (SP), |

|
gradient-shifted force (GSF), and Taylor-shifted force (TSF) methods |
72 |
|
for multipoles that were developed in the first paper in this series |
73 |
< |
against a reference method. The tests were carried out in a variety |
74 |
< |
of condensed-phase environments which were designed to test all |
75 |
< |
levels of the multipole-multipole interactions. Comparisons of the |
76 |
< |
energy differences between configurations, molecular forces, and |
77 |
< |
torques were used to analyze how well the real-space models perform |
78 |
< |
relative to the more computationally expensive Ewald sum. We have |
79 |
< |
also investigated the energy conservation properties of the new |
80 |
< |
methods in molecular dynamics simulations using all of these |
81 |
< |
methods. The SP method shows excellent agreement with |
82 |
< |
configurational energy differences, forces, and torques, and would |
83 |

be suitable for use in Monte Carlo calculations. Of the two new |

with Ewald-derived energies, forces, and torques and exhibits energy |

\subsection{Real-space methods} |
134 |
|
Wolf \textit{et al.}\cite{Wolf:1999dn} proposed a real space $O(N)$ |
135 |
|
method for calculating electrostatic interactions between point |
136 |
|
charges. They argued that the effective Coulomb interaction in |
137 |
< |
condensed systems is actually short ranged.\cite{Wolf92,Wolf95}. For |
138 |
< |
an ordered lattice (e.g. when computing the Madelung constant of an |
139 |
< |
ionic solid), the material can be considered as a set of ions |

For an ordered lattice (e.g., when computing the Madelung constant of |
139 |
> |
an ionic solid), the material can be considered as a set of ions |
140 |
|
interacting with neutral dipolar or quadrupolar ``molecules'' giving |
141 |
|
an effective distance dependence for the electrostatic interactions of |
142 |
< |
$r^{-5}$ (see figure \ref{fig:NaCl}. For this reason, careful |
143 |
< |
applications of Wolf's method are able to obtain accurate estimates of |
144 |
< |
Madelung constants using relatively short cutoff radii. Recently, |
145 |
< |
Fukuda used neutralization of the higher order moments for the |
146 |

calculation of the electrostatic interaction of the point charges |
147 |

The direct truncation of interactions at a cutoff radius creates |
167 |
< |
truncation defects. Wolf \textit{et al.} further argued that |
167 |
> |
truncation defects. Wolf \textit{et al.} argued that |
168 |
|
truncation errors are due to net charge remaining inside the cutoff |
169 |
|
sphere.\cite{Wolf:1999dn} To neutralize this charge they proposed |
170 |
|
placing an image charge on the surface of the cutoff sphere for every |
184 |
|
|
185 |
|
Considering the interaction of one central ion in an ionic crystal |
186 |
|
with a portion of the crystal at some distance, the effective Columbic |
187 |
< |
potential is found to be decreasing as $r^{-5}$. If one views the |

potential is found to decrease as $r^{-5}$. If one views the \ce{NaCl} |
188 |

crystal as a simple cubic (SC) structure with an octupolar |
189 |
|
\ce{(NaCl)4} basis, the electrostatic energy per ion converges more |
190 |
|
rapidly to the Madelung energy than the dipolar |
191 |
|
approximation.\cite{Wolf92} To find the correct Madelung constant, |
192 |
|
Lacman suggested that the NaCl structure could be constructed in a way |
193 |
|
that the finite crystal terminates with complete \ce{(NaCl)4} |
194 |
< |
molecules.\cite{Lacman65} Any charge in a NaCl crystal is surrounded |
195 |
< |
by opposite charges. Similarly for each pair of charges, there is an |
196 |
< |
opposite pair of charge adjacent to it. The central ion sees what is |
197 |
< |
effectively a set of octupoles at large distances. These facts suggest |
192 |
< |
that the Madelung constants are relatively short ranged for perfect |
193 |
< |
ionic crystals.\cite{Wolf:1999dn} |

One can make a similar argument for crystals of point multipoles. The |

213 |

|
214 |
|
In ionic crystals, real-space truncation can break the effective |
215 |
< |
multipolar arrangements (see Fig. \ref{fig:NaCl}), causing significant |
216 |
< |
swings in the electrostatic energy as the cutoff radius is increased |
217 |
< |
(or as individual ions move back and forth across the boundary). This |
218 |
< |
is why the image charges were necessary for the Wolf sum to exhibit |
219 |
< |
rapid convergence. Similarly, the real-space truncation of point |
220 |
< |
multipole interactions breaks higher order multipole arrangements, and |
221 |
< |
image multipoles are required for real-space treatments of |
218 |
< |
electrostatic energies. |

|
223 |
+ |
The shorter effective range of electrostatic interactions is not |
224 |
+ |
limited to perfect crystals, but can also apply in disordered fluids. |
225 |
+ |
Even at elevated temperatures, there is, on average, local charge |
226 |
+ |
balance in an ionic liquid, where each positive ion has surroundings |
227 |
+ |
dominated by negaitve ions and vice versa. The reversed-charge images |
228 |
+ |
on the cutoff sphere that are integral to the Wolf and DSF approaches |
229 |
+ |
retain the effective multipolar interactions as the charges traverse |
230 |
+ |
the cutoff boundary. |
231 |
+ |
|
232 |
+ |
In multipolar fluids (see Fig. \ref{fig:schematic}) there is |
233 |
+ |
significant orientational averaging that additionally reduces the |
234 |
+ |
effect of long-range multipolar interactions. The image multipoles |
235 |
+ |
that are introduced in the TSF, GSF, and SP methods mimic this effect |
236 |
+ |
and reduce the effective range of the multipolar interactions as |
237 |
+ |
interacting molecules traverse each other's cutoff boundaries. |
238 |
+ |
|
239 |
|
% Because of this reason, although the nature of electrostatic |
240 |
|
% interaction short ranged, the hard cutoff sphere creates very large |
241 |
|
% fluctuation in the electrostatic energy for the perfect crystal. In |
292 |
|
rough approximation. Atomic sites can also be assigned point |
293 |
|
multipoles and polarizabilities to increase the accuracy of the |
294 |
|
molecular model. Recently, water has been modeled with point |
295 |
< |
multipoles up to octupolar |
296 |

order.\cite{Ichiye10_1,Ichiye10_2,Ichiye10_3} Atom-centered point |

298 |
|
multipoles up to quadrupolar order have also been coupled with point |
299 |
|
polarizabilities in the high-quality AMOEBA and iAMOEBA water |

Interactions between multipoles can be expressed as higher derivatives |
346 |
< |
of the bare Coulomb potential, so one way of ensuring that the forces |
347 |
< |
and torques vanish at the cutoff distance is to include a larger |
348 |
< |
number of terms in the truncated Taylor expansion, e.g., |
349 |
< |
% |
350 |

\begin{equation} |
351 |

f_n^{\text{shift}}(r)=\sum_{m=0}^{n+1} \frac {(r-r_c)^m}{m!} f^{(m)} \Big \lvert _{r_c} . |
352 |
< |
\end{equation} |
353 |

% |
354 |
< |
The combination of $f(r)$ with the shifted function is denoted $f_n(r)=f(r)-f_n^{\text{shift}}(r)$. |
355 |
< |
Thus, for $f(r)=1/r$, we find |

This function is an approximate electrostatic potential that has |

$n=4$ for quadrupole-quadrupole. To ensure smooth convergence of the |

series expansion in $f_n(r)$ must be performed for different |

To carry out the same procedure for a damped electrostatic kernel, we |
379 |
< |
replace $1/r$ in the Coulomb potential with $\text{erfc}(\alpha r)/r$. |
380 |
< |
Many of the derivatives of the damped kernel are well known from |

Smith's early work on multipoles for the Ewald |

Note that increasing the value of $n$ will add additional terms to the |

Here the lab-frame orientations of the two dipoles, $\mathbf{D}_{i}$ |

the signs are reversed for the dipole that has been projected onto the |

Again, these functions go smoothly to zero as $r\rightarrow r_c$, and |

The third term converges more rapidly than the first two terms as a |
