In the interest of computational efficiency, the native solvent used |
| 4 |
in OOPSE is the Soft Sticky Dipole (SSD) water model. SSD was |
| 5 |
developed by Ichiye \emph{et al.} as a modified form of the |
| 6 |
hard-sphere water model proposed by Bratko, Blum, and |
| 7 |
Luzar.\cite{Bratko85,Bratko95} It consists of a single point dipole |
| 8 |
with a Lennard-Jones core and a sticky potential that directs the |
| 9 |
particles to assume the proper hydrogen bond orientation in the first |
| 10 |
solvation shell. Thus, the interaction between two SSD water molecules |
| 11 |
\emph{i} and \emph{j} is given by the potential |
| 12 |
\begin{equation} |
| 13 |
u_{ij} = u_{ij}^{LJ} (r_{ij})\ + u_{ij}^{dp} |
| 14 |
(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j)\ + |
| 15 |
u_{ij}^{sp} |
| 16 |
(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j), |
| 17 |
\end{equation} |
| 18 |
where the $\mathbf{r}_{ij}$ is the position vector between molecules |
| 19 |
\emph{i} and \emph{j} with magnitude equal to the distance $r_ij$, and |
| 20 |
$\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i$ and $\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j$ represent the |
| 21 |
orientations of the respective molecules. The Lennard-Jones, dipole, |
| 22 |
and sticky parts of the potential are giving by the following |
| 23 |
equations, |
| 24 |
\begin{equation} |
| 25 |
u_{ij}^{LJ}(r_{ij}) = 4\epsilon \left[\left(\frac{\sigma}{r_{ij}}\right)^{12}-\left(\frac{\sigma}{r_{ij}}\right)^{6}\right], |
| 26 |
\end{equation} |
| 27 |
\begin{equation} |
| 28 |
u_{ij}^{dp} = \frac{\boldsymbol{\mu}_i\cdot\boldsymbol{\mu}_j}{r_{ij}^3}-\frac{3(\boldsymbol{\mu}_i\cdot\mathbf{r}_{ij})(\boldsymbol{\mu}_j\cdot\mathbf{r}_{ij})}{r_{ij}^5}\ , |
| 29 |
\end{equation} |
| 30 |
\begin{equation} |
| 31 |
\begin{split} |
| 32 |
u_{ij}^{sp} |
| 33 |
(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j) |
| 34 |
&= |
| 35 |
\frac{\nu_0}{2}[s(r_{ij})w(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j)\\ |
| 36 |
& \quad \ + |
| 37 |
s^\prime(r_{ij})w^\prime(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j)]\ , |
| 38 |
\end{split} |
| 39 |
\end{equation} |
| 40 |
where $\boldsymbol{\mu}_i$ and $\boldsymbol{\mu}_j$ are the dipole |
| 41 |
unit vectors of particles \emph{i} and \emph{j} with magnitude 2.35 D, |
| 42 |
$\nu_0$ scales the strength of the overall sticky potential, $s$ and |
| 43 |
$s^\prime$ are cubic switching functions. The $w$ and $w^\prime$ |
| 44 |
functions take the following forms, |
| 45 |
\begin{equation} |
| 46 |
w(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j)=\sin\theta_{ij}\sin2\theta_{ij}\cos2\phi_{ij}, |
| 47 |
\end{equation} |
| 48 |
\begin{equation} |
| 49 |
w^\prime(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j) = (\cos\theta_{ij}-0.6)^2(\cos\theta_{ij}+0.8)^2-w^0, |
| 50 |
\end{equation} |
| 51 |
where $w^0 = 0.07715$. The $w$ function is the tetrahedral attractive |
| 52 |
term that promotes hydrogen bonding orientations within the first |
| 53 |
solvation shell, and $w^\prime$ is a dipolar repulsion term that |
| 54 |
repels unrealistic dipolar arrangements within the first solvation |
| 55 |
shell. A more detailed description of the functional parts and |
| 56 |
variables in this potential can be found in other |
| 57 |
articles.\cite{liu96:new_model,chandra99:ssd_md} |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Since SSD is a one-site point dipole model, the force calculations are |
| 60 |
simplified significantly from a computational standpoint, in that the |
| 61 |
number of long-range interactions is dramatically reduced. In the |
| 62 |
original Monte Carlo simulations using this model, Ichiye \emph{et |
| 63 |
al.} reported a calculation speed up of up to an order of magnitude |
| 64 |
over other comparable models while maintaining the structural behavior |
| 65 |
of water.\cite{liu96:new_model} In the original molecular dynamics studies of |
| 66 |
SSD, it was shown that it actually improves upon the prediction of |
| 67 |
water's dynamical properties over TIP3P and SPC/E.\cite{chandra99:ssd_md} |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Recent constant pressure simulations revealed issues in the original |
| 70 |
SSD model that led to lower than expected densities at all target |
| 71 |
pressures.\cite{Ichiye03,Gezelter04} Reparameterizations of the |
| 72 |
original SSD have resulted in improved density behavior, as well as |
| 73 |
alterations in the water structure and transport behavior. OOPSE is |
| 74 |
easily modified to impliment these new potential parameter sets for |
| 75 |
the derivative water models: SSD1, SSD/E, and SSD/RF. All of the |
| 76 |
variable parameters are listed in the accompanying BASS file, and |
| 77 |
these parameters simply need to be changed to the updated values. |
