\section{\label{sec:intro}Introduction} |

|
Computing the interactions between electrostatic sites is one of the |
| 95 |
< |
most expensive aspects of molecular simulations, which is why there |
| 96 |
< |
have been significant efforts to develop practical, efficient and |
| 97 |
< |
convergent methods for handling these interactions. Ewald's method is |
| 98 |
< |
perhaps the best known and most accurate method for evaluating |
| 99 |
< |
energies, forces, and torques in explicitly-periodic simulation |
| 100 |
< |
cells. In this approach, the conditionally convergent electrostatic |
| 101 |
< |
energy is converted into two absolutely convergent contributions, one |
| 102 |
< |
which is carried out in real space with a cutoff radius, and one in |
| 103 |
< |
reciprocal space.\cite{Clarke:1986eu,Woodcock75} |

|
When carried out as originally formulated, the reciprocal-space |
| 106 |
|
portion of the Ewald sum exhibits relatively poor computational |
| 107 |
< |
scaling, making it prohibitive for large systems. By utilizing |
| 108 |
< |
particle meshes and three dimensional fast Fourier transforms (FFT), |
| 109 |
< |
the particle-mesh Ewald (PME), particle-particle particle-mesh Ewald |
| 110 |
< |
(P\textsuperscript{3}ME), and smooth particle mesh Ewald (SPME) methods can decrease |
| 111 |
< |
the computational cost from $O(N^2)$ down to $O(N \log |
| 112 |
< |
N)$.\cite{Takada93,Gunsteren94,Gunsteren95,Darden:1993pd,Essmann:1995pb}. |

| 118 |
< |
To simulate interfacial systems, Parry’s extension of the 3D Ewald sum |
| 119 |
< |
is appropriate for slab geometries.\cite{Parry:1975if} The inherent |
| 120 |

periodicity in the Ewald’s method can also be problematic for |

interfacial molecular systems.\cite{Fennell:2006lq} Modified Ewald |
| 122 |

methods that were developed to handle two-dimensional (2D) |
| 123 |

electrostatic interactions in interfacial systems have not had similar |
| 124 |

particle-mesh treatments.\cite{Parry:1975if, Parry:1976fq, Clarke77, |

These methods were originally quite computationally |

expensive.\cite{Spohr97,Yeh99} There have been several successful |
| 124 |

efforts that reduced the computational cost of 2-D lattice summations, |

bringing them more in line with the scaling for the full 3-D |

treatments.\cite{Yeh99,Kawata01,Arnold02,deJoannis02,Brodka04} The |
| 127 |

inherent periodicity required by the Ewald method can also be |
| 128 |

problematic in a number of protein/solvent and ionic solution |
| 129 |

environments.\cite{Roberts94,Roberts95,Luty96,Hunenberger99a,Hunenberger99b,Weber00,Fennell:2006lq} |

\subsection{Real-space methods} |
| 132 |
|
Wolf \textit{et al.}\cite{Wolf:1999dn} proposed a real space $O(N)$ |
| 133 |
|
method for calculating electrostatic interactions between point |
| 134 |
< |
charges. They argued that the effective Coulomb interaction in |
| 135 |
< |
condensed systems is actually short ranged.\cite{Wolf92,Wolf95}. For |
| 136 |
< |
an ordered lattice (e.g. when computing the Madelung constant of an |
| 137 |
< |
ionic solid), the material can be considered as a set of ions |
| 138 |
< |
interacting with neutral dipolar or quadrupolar ``molecules'' giving |
| 139 |
< |
an effective distance dependence for the electrostatic interactions of |
| 140 |
< |
$r^{-5}$ (see figure \ref{fig:NaCl}. For this reason, careful |
| 141 |
< |
applications of Wolf's method are able to obtain accurate estimates of |
| 142 |
< |
Madelung constants using relatively short cutoff radii. Recently, |
| 143 |
< |
Fukuda used neutralization of the higher order moments for the |
| 144 |
< |
calculation of the electrostatic interaction of the point charges |
| 145 |
< |
system.\cite{Fukuda:2013sf} |
| 134 |
> |
charges. They argued that the effective Coulomb interaction in most |
| 135 |
> |
condensed phase systems is effectively short |
| 136 |
> |
ranged.\cite{Wolf92,Wolf95} For an ordered lattice (e.g., when |
| 137 |
> |
computing the Madelung constant of an ionic solid), the material can |
| 138 |
> |
be considered as a set of ions interacting with neutral dipolar or |
| 139 |
> |
quadrupolar ``molecules'' giving an effective distance dependence for |
| 140 |
> |
the electrostatic interactions of $r^{-5}$ (see figure |
| 141 |
> |
\ref{fig:schematic}). If one views the \ce{NaCl} crystal as a simple |
| 142 |
> |
cubic (SC) structure with an octupolar \ce{(NaCl)4} basis, the |
| 143 |
> |
electrostatic energy per ion converges more rapidly to the Madelung |
| 144 |
> |
energy than the dipolar approximation.\cite{Wolf92} To find the |
| 145 |
> |
correct Madelung constant, Lacman suggested that the NaCl structure |
| 146 |
> |
could be constructed in a way that the finite crystal terminates with |
| 147 |
> |
complete \ce{(NaCl)4} molecules.\cite{Lacman65} The central ion sees |
| 148 |
> |
what is effectively a set of octupoles at large distances. These facts |
| 149 |
> |
suggest that the Madelung constants are relatively short ranged for |
| 150 |
> |
perfect ionic crystals.\cite{Wolf:1999dn} For this reason, careful |
| 151 |
> |
application of Wolf's method can provide accurate estimates of |
| 152 |
> |
Madelung constants using relatively short cutoff radii. |

< |
The direct truncation of interactions at a cutoff radius creates |
| 167 |
< |
truncation defects. Wolf \textit{et al.} further 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 |
| 164 |
< |
placing an image charge on the surface of the cutoff sphere for every |
| 165 |
< |
real charge inside the cutoff. These charges are present for the |
| 166 |
< |
evaluation of both the pair interaction energy and the force, although |
| 167 |
< |
the force expression maintained a discontinuity at the cutoff sphere. |
| 168 |
< |
In the original Wolf formulation, the total energy for the charge and |
| 169 |
< |
image were not equal to the integral of their force expression, and as |
| 170 |
< |
a result, the total energy would not be conserved in molecular |
| 171 |
< |
dynamics (MD) simulations.\cite{Zahn:2002hc} Zahn \textit{et al.} and |
| 172 |
< |
Fennel and Gezelter later proposed shifted force variants of the Wolf |
| 173 |
< |
method with commensurate force and energy expressions that do not |
| 174 |
< |
exhibit this problem.\cite{Fennell:2006lq} Related real-space |
| 175 |
< |
methods were also proposed by Chen \textit{et |
| 154 |

errors. Wolf \textit{et al.} suggest that truncation errors are due |

Considering the interaction of one central ion in an ionic crystal |
| 176 |
< |
with a portion of the crystal at some distance, the effective Columbic |
| 177 |
< |
potential is found to be decreasing as $r^{-5}$. If one views the |
| 178 |
< |
\ce{NaCl} crystal as simple cubic (SC) structure with an octupolar |
| 179 |
< |
\ce{(NaCl)4} basis, the electrostatic energy per ion converges more |
| 180 |
< |
rapidly to the Madelung energy than the dipolar |
| 181 |
< |
approximation.\cite{Wolf92} To find the correct Madelung constant, |
| 182 |
< |
Lacman suggested that the NaCl structure could be constructed in a way |
| 183 |
< |
that the finite crystal terminates with complete \ce{(NaCl)4} |
| 184 |
< |
molecules.\cite{Lacman65} Any charge in a NaCl crystal is surrounded |
| 185 |
< |
by opposite charges. Similarly for each pair of charges, there is an |
| 186 |
< |
opposite pair of charge adjacent to it. The central ion sees what is |
| 187 |
< |
effectively a set of octupoles at large distances. These facts suggest |
| 188 |
< |
that the Madelung constants are relatively short ranged for perfect |
| 189 |
< |
ionic crystals.\cite{Wolf:1999dn} |

One can make a similar argument for crystals of point multipoles. The |
| 193 |
< |
Luttinger and Tisza treatment of energy constants for dipolar lattices |
| 194 |
< |
utilizes 24 basis vectors that contain dipoles at the eight corners of |
| 195 |
< |
a unit cube. Only three of these basis vectors, $X_1, Y_1, |
| 196 |
< |
\mathrm{~and~} Z_1,$ retain net dipole moments, while the rest have |
| 197 |
< |
zero net dipole and retain contributions only from higher order |
| 198 |
< |
multipoles. The effective interaction between a dipole at the center |

One can make a similar effective range argument for crystals of point |
| 193 |

\textit{multipoles}. The Luttinger and Tisza treatment of energy |
| 194 |

constants for dipolar lattices utilizes 24 basis vectors that contain |

dipoles at the eight corners of a unit cube.\cite{LT} Only three of |

moments, while the rest have zero net dipole and retain contributions |
| 198 |

only from higher order multipoles. The lowest-energy crystalline |
| 199 |
> |
structures are built out of basis vectors that have only residual |
| 200 |
> |
quadrupolar moments (e.g. the $Z_5$ array). In these low energy |
| 201 |
> |
structures, the effective interaction between a dipole at the center |
| 202 |
|
of a crystal and a group of eight dipoles farther away is |
| 203 |
|
significantly shorter ranged than the $r^{-3}$ that one would expect |
| 204 |
|
for raw dipole-dipole interactions. Only in crystals which retain a |

unstable. |

|
In ionic crystals, real-space truncation can break the effective |
| 211 |
< |
multipolar arrangements (see Fig. \ref{fig:NaCl}), causing significant |
| 212 |
< |
swings in the electrostatic energy as the cutoff radius is increased |
| 213 |
< |
(or as individual ions move back and forth across the boundary). This |
| 214 |
< |
is why the image charges were necessary for the Wolf sum to exhibit |
| 215 |
< |
rapid convergence. Similarly, the real-space truncation of point |
| 216 |
< |
multipole interactions breaks higher order multipole arrangements, and |
| 217 |
< |
image multipoles are required for real-space treatments of |
| 218 |
< |
electrostatic energies. |

| 220 |
+ |
limited to perfect crystals, but can also apply in disordered fluids. |
| 221 |
+ |
Even at elevated temperatures, there is local charge balance in an |
| 222 |
+ |
ionic liquid, where each positive ion has surroundings dominated by |
| 223 |
+ |
negaitve ions and vice versa. The reversed-charge images on the |
| 224 |
+ |
cutoff sphere that are integral to the Wolf and DSF approaches retain |
| 225 |
+ |
the effective multipolar interactions as the charges traverse the |
| 226 |
+ |
cutoff boundary. |
| 227 |
+ |
|
| 228 |
+ |
In multipolar fluids (see Fig. \ref{fig:schematic}) there is |
| 229 |
+ |
significant orientational averaging that additionally reduces the |
| 230 |
+ |
effect of long-range multipolar interactions. The image multipoles |
| 231 |
+ |
that are introduced in the TSF, GSF, and SP methods mimic this effect |
| 232 |
+ |
and reduce the effective range of the multipolar interactions as |
| 233 |
+ |
interacting molecules traverse each other's cutoff boundaries. |

\subsection{The damping function} |

The damping function used in our research has been discussed in detail |
| 258 |
< |
in the first paper of this series.\cite{PaperI} The radial kernel |
| 259 |
< |
$1/r$ for the interactions between point charges can be replaced by |
| 260 |
< |
the complementary error function $\mathrm{erfc}(\alpha r)/r$ to |
| 261 |
< |
accelerate the rate of convergence, where $\alpha$ is a damping |
| 262 |
< |
parameter with units of inverse distance. Altering the value of |
| 263 |
< |
$\alpha$ is equivalent to changing the width of Gaussian charge |
| 264 |
< |
distributions that replace each point charge -- Gaussian overlap |
| 265 |
< |
integrals yield complementary error functions when truncated at a |
| 266 |

finite distance. |

\subsection{Point multipoles in molecular modeling} |
| 274 |
|
Coarse-graining approaches which treat entire molecular subsystems as |
| 275 |
|
a single rigid body are now widely used. A common feature of many |
| 276 |
|
coarse-graining approaches is simplification of the electrostatic |
| 277 |
|
interactions between bodies so that fewer site-site interactions are |
| 278 |
< |
required to compute configurational energies. Many coarse-grained |
| 279 |
< |
molecular structures would normally consist of equal positive and |
| 266 |
< |
negative charges, and rather than use multiple site-site interactions, |
| 267 |
< |
the interaction between higher order multipoles can also be used to |
| 268 |
< |
evaluate a single molecule-molecule |
| 269 |
< |
interaction.\cite{Ren06,Essex10,Essex11} |

energies.\cite{Ren06,Essex10,Essex11} |
| 280 |
|
|
| 281 |
< |
Because electrons in a molecule are not localized at specific points, |
| 282 |
< |
the assignment of partial charges to atomic centers is a relatively |
| 283 |
< |
rough approximation. Atomic sites can also be assigned point |
| 284 |
< |
multipoles and polarizabilities to increase the accuracy of the |
| 285 |
< |
molecular model. Recently, water has been modeled with point |
| 286 |

multipoles up to octupolar |

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

In this paper we test a set of real-space methods that were developed |

for point multipolar interactions. These methods extend the damped |

shifted force (DSF) and Wolf methods originally developed for |

charge-charge interactions and generalize them for higher order |
| 299 |

multipoles. The detailed mathematical development of these methods has |

Interactions between multipoles can be expressed as higher derivatives |

| 416 |
|
shifted smoothly by finding the gradient for two interacting dipoles |

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

spirit to the original shifted force method, in that it projects a |

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

because the Taylor expansion retains only one term, they are |

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

equilibration at a relatively low temperature (50K), so that dipoles |

or quadrupoles could freely explore all accessible orientations. The |

\subsection{Reproduction of Structural \& Dynamical Features\label{sec:structure}} |
| 1002 |
+ |
The most important test of the modified interaction potentials is the |
| 1003 |
+ |
fidelity with which they can reproduce structural features and |
| 1004 |
+ |
dynamical properties in a liquid. One commonly-utilized measure of |
| 1005 |
+ |
structural ordering is the pair distribution function, $g(r)$, which |
| 1006 |
+ |
measures local density deviations in relation to the bulk density. In |
| 1007 |
+ |
the electrostatic approaches studied here, the short-range repulsion |
| 1008 |
+ |
from the Lennard-Jones potential is identical for the various |
| 1009 |
+ |
electrostatic methods, and since short range repulsion determines much |
| 1010 |
+ |
of the local liquid ordering, one would not expect to see many |
| 1011 |
+ |
differences in $g(r)$. Indeed, the pair distributions are essentially |
| 1012 |
+ |
identical for all of the electrostatic methods studied (for each of |
| 1013 |
+ |
the different systems under investigation). An example of this |
| 1014 |
+ |
agreement for the SSDQ water/ion system is shown in |
| 1015 |
+ |
Fig. \ref{fig:gofr}. |
| 1016 |
+ |

| 1022 |

| 1024 |
+ |
treatment.} |

\end{figure} |
| 1026 |
+ |
|
| 1027 |
+ |
There is a very slight overstructuring of the first solvation shell |
| 1028 |
+ |
when using when using TSF at lower values of the damping coefficient |
| 1029 |
+ |
($\alpha \le 0.1$) or when using undamped GSF. With moderate damping, |
| 1030 |
+ |
GSF and SP produce pair distributions that are identical (within |
| 1031 |
+ |
numerical noise) to their Ewald counterparts. |
| 1032 |
+ |
|
| 1033 |
+ |
A structural property that is a more demanding test of modified |
| 1034 |
+ |
electrostatics is the mean value of the electrostatic energy $\langle |
| 1035 |
+ |
U_\mathrm{elect} \rangle / N$ which is obtained by sampling the |
| 1036 |
+ |
liquid-state configurations experienced by a liquid evolving entirely |
| 1037 |
+ |
under the influence of each of the methods. In table \ref{tab:Props} |
| 1038 |
+ |
we demonstrate how $\langle U_\mathrm{elect} \rangle / N$ varies with |
| 1039 |
+ |
the damping parameter, $\alpha$, for each of the methods. |
| 1040 |
+ |
|
| 1041 |
+ |
As in the crystals studied in the first paper, damping is important |
| 1042 |
+ |
for converging the mean electrostatic energy values, particularly for |
| 1043 |
+ |
the two shifted force methods (GSF and TSF). A value of $\alpha |
| 1044 |
+ |
\approx 0.2$ \AA$^{-1}$ is sufficient to converge the SP and GSF |
| 1045 |
+ |
energies with a cutoff of 12 \AA, while shorter cutoffs require more |
| 1046 |
+ |
dramatic damping ($\alpha \approx 0.3$ \AA$^{-1}$ for $r_c = 9$ \AA). |
| 1047 |
+ |
Overdamping the real-space electrostatic methods occurs with $\alpha > |
| 1048 |
+ |
0.4$, causing the estimate of the energy to drop below the Ewald |
| 1049 |
+ |
results. |
| 1050 |
+ |
|
| 1051 |
+ |
These ``optimal'' values of the damping coefficient are slightly |
| 1052 |
+ |
larger than what were observed for DSF electrostatics for purely |
| 1053 |
+ |
point-charge systems, although a value of $\alpha=0.18$ \AA$^{-1}$ for |
| 1054 |
+ |
$r_c = 12$\AA appears to be an excellent compromise for mixed charge |
| 1055 |
+ |
multipole systems. |
| 1056 |
|
|
| 1057 |
+ |
To test the fidelity of the electrostatic methods at reproducing |
| 1058 |
+ |
dynamics in a multipolar liquid, it is also useful to look at |
| 1059 |
+ |
transport properties, particularly the diffusion constant, |
| 1060 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1061 |
+ |
D = \lim_{t \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{6 t} \langle \left| |
| 1062 |
+ |
\mathbf{r}(t) -\mathbf{r}(0) \right|^2 \rangle |
| 1063 |
+ |
\label{eq:diff} |
| 1064 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1065 |
+ |
which measures long-time behavior and is sensitive to the forces on |
| 1066 |
+ |
the multipoles. For the soft dipolar fluid and the SSDQ liquid |
| 1067 |
+ |
systems, the self-diffusion constants (D) were calculated from linear |
| 1068 |
+ |
fits to the long-time portion of the mean square displacement, |
| 1069 |
+ |
$\langle r^{2}(t) \rangle$.\cite{Allen87} |
| 1070 |
|
|
| 1071 |
+ |
In addition to translational diffusion, orientational relaxation times |
| 1072 |
+ |
were calculated for comparisons with the Ewald simulations and with |
| 1073 |
+ |
experiments. These values were determined from the same 1~ns |
| 1074 |
+ |
microcanonical trajectories used for translational diffusion by |
| 1075 |
+ |
calculating the orientational time correlation function, |
| 1076 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1077 |
+ |
C_l^\gamma(t) = \left\langle P_l\left[\hat{\mathbf{A}}_\gamma(t) |
| 1078 |
+ |
\cdot\hat{\mathbf{A}}_\gamma(0)\right]\right\rangle, |
| 1079 |
+ |
\label{eq:OrientCorr} |
| 1080 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1081 |
+ |
where $P_l$ is the Legendre polynomial of order $l$ and |
| 1082 |
+ |
$\hat{\mathbf{A}}_\gamma$ is the space-frame unit vector for body axis |
| 1083 |
+ |
$\gamma$ on a molecule.. Th body-fixed reference frame used for our |
| 1084 |
+ |
models has the $z$-axis running along the dipoles, and for the SSDQ |
| 1085 |
+ |
water model, the $y$-axis connects the two implied hydrogen atom |
| 1086 |
+ |
positions. From the orientation autocorrelation functions, we can |
| 1087 |
+ |
obtain time constants for rotational relaxation either by fitting an |
| 1088 |
+ |
exponential function or by integrating the entire correlation |
| 1089 |
+ |
function. In a good water model, these decay times would be |
| 1090 |
+ |
comparable to water orientational relaxation times from nuclear |
| 1091 |
+ |
magnetic resonance (NMR). The relaxation constant obtained from |
| 1092 |
+ |
$C_2^y(t)$ is normally of experimental interest because it describes |
| 1093 |
+ |
the relaxation of the principle axis connecting the hydrogen |
| 1094 |
+ |
atoms. Thus, $C_2^y(t)$ can be compared to the intermolecular portion |
| 1095 |
+ |
of the dipole-dipole relaxation from a proton NMR signal and should |
| 1096 |
+ |
provide an estimate of the NMR relaxation time constant.\cite{Impey82} |
| 1097 |
+ |
|
| 1098 |
+ |
Results for the diffusion constants and orientational relaxation times |
| 1099 |
+ |
are shown in figure \ref{tab:Props}. From this data, it is apparent |
| 1100 |
+ |
that the values for both $D$ and $\tau_2$ using the Ewald sum are |
| 1101 |
+ |
reproduced with reasonable fidelity by the GSF method. |
| 1102 |
+ |
|
| 1103 |
+ |
The $\tau_2$ results in \ref{tab:Props} show a much greater difference |
| 1104 |
+ |
between the real-space and the Ewald results. |

\section{CONCLUSION} |
| 1151 |
|
In the first paper in this series, we generalized the |
| 1152 |
|
charge-neutralized electrostatic energy originally developed by Wolf |
| 1223 |
|
handling of energies, forces, and torques as multipoles cross the |
| 1224 |
|
real-space cutoff boundary. |
