Canonical ensemble (NVT) molecular dynamics calculations were |
| 23 |
|
|
performed using the OOPSE molecular mechanics package.\cite{Meineke05} |
| 24 |
|
|
All molecules were treated as rigid bodies, with orientational motion |
| 25 |
|
|
propagated using the symplectic DLM integration method. Details about |
| 26 |
|
|
the implementation of this technique can be found in a recent |
| 27 |
|
|
publication.\cite{Dullweber1997} |
| 28 |
|
|
|
| 29 |
|
|
Thermodynamic integration is an established technique for |
| 30 |
|
|
determination of free energies of condensed phases of |
| 31 |
|
|
materials.\cite{Frenkel84,Hermens88,Meijer90,Baez95a,Vlot99}. This |
| 32 |
|
|
method, implemented in the same manner illustrated by B\`{a}ez and |
| 33 |
|
|
Clancy, was utilized to calculate the free energy of several ice |
| 34 |
|
|
crystals at 200 K using the TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P, SPC/E, SSD/RF, and |
| 35 |
|
|
SSD/E water models.\cite{Baez95a} Liquid state free energies at 300 |
| 36 |
|
|
and 400 K for all of these water models were also determined using |
| 37 |
|
|
this same technique, in order to determine melting points and to |
| 38 |
|
|
generate phase diagrams. All simulations were carried out at |
| 39 |
|
|
densities which correspond to a pressure of approximately 1 atm at |
| 40 |
|
|
their respective temperatures. |
| 41 |
|
|
|
| 42 |
|
|
Thermodynamic integration involves a sequence of simulations during |
| 43 |
|
|
which the system of interest is converted into a reference system for |
| 44 |
|
|
which the free energy is known analytically. This transformation path |
| 45 |
|
|
is then integrated in order to determine the free energy difference |
| 46 |
|
|
between the two states: |
| 47 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
| 48 |
|
|
\Delta A = \int_0^1\left\langle\frac{\partial V(\lambda |
| 49 |
|
|
)}{\partial\lambda}\right\rangle_\lambda d\lambda, |
| 50 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
| 51 |
|
|
where $V$ is the interaction potential and $\lambda$ is the |
| 52 |
|
|
transformation parameter that scales the overall potential. |
| 53 |
|
|
Simulations are distributed strategically along this path in order to |
| 54 |
|
|
sufficiently sample the regions of greatest change in the potential. |
| 55 |
|
|
Typical integrations in this study consisted of $\sim$25 simulations |
| 56 |
|
|
ranging from 300 ps (for the unaltered system) to 75 ps (near the |
| 57 |
|
|
reference state) in length. |
| 58 |
|
|
|
| 59 |
|
|
For the thermodynamic integration of molecular crystals, the Einstein |
| 60 |
|
|
crystal was chosen as the reference system. In an Einstein crystal, |
| 61 |
|
|
the molecules are restrained at their ideal lattice locations and |
| 62 |
|
|
orientations. Using harmonic restraints, as applied by B\`{a}ez and |
| 63 |
|
|
Clancy, the total potential for this reference crystal |
| 64 |
|
|
($V_\mathrm{EC}$) is the sum of all the harmonic restraints, |
| 65 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
| 66 |
|
|
V_\mathrm{EC} = \frac{K_\mathrm{v}r^2}{2} + \frac{K_\theta\theta^2}{2} + |
| 67 |
|
|
\frac{K_\omega\omega^2}{2}, |
| 68 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
| 69 |
|
|
where $K_\mathrm{v}$, $K_\mathrm{\theta}$, and $K_\mathrm{\omega}$ are |
| 70 |
|
|
the spring constants restraining translational motion and deflection |
| 71 |
|
|
of and rotation around the principle axis of the molecule |
| 72 |
|
|
respectively. These spring constants are typically calculated from |
| 73 |
|
|
the mean-square displacements of water molecules in an unrestrained |
| 74 |
|
|
ice crystal at 200 K. For these studies, $K_\mathrm{r} = 4.29$ kcal |
| 75 |
|
|
mol$^{-1}$, $K_\theta\ = 13.88$ kcal mol$^{-1}$, and $K_\omega\ = |
| 76 |
|
|
17.75$ kcal mol$^{-1}$. It is clear from Fig. \ref{waterSpring} that |
| 77 |
|
|
the values of $\theta$ range from $0$ to $\pi$, while $\omega$ ranges |
| 78 |
|
|
from $-\pi$ to $\pi$. The partition function for a molecular crystal |
| 79 |
|
|
restrained in this fashion can be evaluated analytically, and the |
| 80 |
|
|
Helmholtz Free Energy ({\it A}) is given by |
| 81 |
|
|
\begin{eqnarray} |
| 82 |
|
|
A = E_m\ -\ kT\ln \left (\frac{kT}{h\nu}\right )^3&-&kT\ln \left |
| 83 |
|
|
[\pi^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{A}kT}{h^2}\right |
| 84 |
|
|
)^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{B}kT}{h^2}\right |
| 85 |
|
|
)^\frac{1}{2}\left (\frac{8\pi^2I_\mathrm{C}kT}{h^2}\right |
| 86 |
|
|
)^\frac{1}{2}\right ] \nonumber \\ &-& kT\ln \left [\frac{kT}{2(\pi |
| 87 |
|
|
K_\omega K_\theta)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\exp\left |
| 88 |
|
|
(-\frac{kT}{2K_\theta}\right)\int_0^{\left (\frac{kT}{2K_\theta}\right |
| 89 |
|
|
)^\frac{1}{2}}\exp(t^2)\mathrm{d}t\right ], |
| 90 |
|
|
\label{ecFreeEnergy} |
| 91 |
|
|
\end{eqnarray} |
| 92 |
|
|
where $2\pi\nu = (K_\mathrm{v}/m)^{1/2}$, and $E_m$ is the minimum |
| 93 |
|
|
potential energy of the ideal crystal.\cite{Baez95a} |

In the case of molecular liquids, the ideal vapor is chosen as the |
| 107 |
|
|
target reference state. There are several examples of liquid state |
| 108 |
|
|
free energy calculations of water models present in the |
| 109 |
|
|
literature.\cite{Hermens88,Quintana92,Mezei92,Baez95b} These methods |
| 110 |
|
|
typically differ in regard to the path taken for switching off the |
| 111 |
|
|
interaction potential to convert the system to an ideal gas of water |
| 112 |
|
|
molecules. In this study, we applied of one of the most convenient |
| 113 |
|
|
methods and integrated over the $\lambda^4$ path, where all |
| 114 |
|
|
interaction parameters are scaled equally by this transformation |
| 115 |
|
|
parameter. This method has been shown to be reversible and provide |
| 116 |
|
|
results in excellent agreement with other established |
| 117 |
|
|
methods.\cite{Baez95b} |
| 118 |
|
|
|
| 119 |
|
|
Charge, dipole, and Lennard-Jones interactions were modified by a |
| 120 |
|
|
cubic switching between 100\% and 85\% of the cutoff value (9 \AA). |
| 121 |
|
|
By applying this function, these interactions are smoothly truncated, |
| 122 |
|
|
thereby avoiding the poor energy conservation which results from |
| 123 |
|
|
harsher truncation schemes. The effect of a long-range correction was |
| 124 |
|
|
also investigated on select model systems in a variety of manners. |
| 125 |
|
|
For the SSD/RF model, a reaction field with a fixed dielectric |
| 126 |
|
|
constant of 80 was applied in all simulations.\cite{Onsager36} For a |
| 127 |
|
|
series of the least computationally expensive models (SSD/E, SSD/RF, |
| 128 |
|
|
TIP3P, and SPC/E), simulations were performed with longer cutoffs of |
| 129 |
|
|
10.5, 12, 13.5, and 15 \AA\ to compare with the 9 \AA\ cutoff results. |
| 130 |
|
|
Finally, the affects provided by an Ewald summation were estimated for |
| 131 |
|
|
TIP3P and SPC/E by performing single configuration calculations with |
| 132 |
|
|
Particle-Mesh Ewald (PME) in the TINKER molecular mechanics software |
| 133 |
|
|
package.\cite{Tinker} The calculated energy difference in the presence |
| 134 |
|
|
and absence of PME was applied to the previous results in order to |
| 135 |
|
|
predict changes to the free energy landscape. |
