where $\nu_0$ scales the strength of the tetrahedral attraction and |

$\nu_0^\prime$ scales the dipole repulsion term independently. The |

the final parameters were adjusted so that it is not necessary to |

the temperature dependence of the diffusion constant of SSD/E to SSD1 |

Table \ref{liquidproperties} gives a synopsis of the liquid state |
| 885 |
+ |
properties of the water models compared in this study along with the |
| 886 |
+ |
experimental values for liquid water at ambient conditions. The |
| 887 |
+ |
coordination number and hydrogen bonds per particle were calculated by |
| 888 |
+ |
integrating the following relation: |
| 889 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 890 |
+ |
4\pi\rho\int_{0}^{a}r^2\text{g}(r)dr, |
| 891 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 892 |
+ |
where $\rho$ is the number density of pair interactions, $a$ is the |
| 893 |
+ |
radial location of the minima following the first solvation shell |
| 894 |
+ |
peak, and g$(r)$ is either g$_\text{OO}(r)$ or g$_\text{OH}(r)$ for |
| 895 |
+ |
calculation of the coordination number or hydrogen bonds per particle |
| 896 |
+ |
respectively. The number of hydrogen bonds stays relatively constant |
| 897 |
+ |
across all of the models, but the coordination numbers of SSD/E and |
| 898 |
+ |
SSD/RF show an improvement over SSD1. This improvement is primarily |
| 899 |
+ |
due to the widening of the first solvation shell peak, allowing the |
| 900 |
+ |
first minima to push outward. Comparing the coordination number with |
| 901 |
+ |
the number of hydrogen bonds can lead to more insight into the |
| 902 |
+ |
structural character of the liquid. Because of the near identical |
| 903 |
+ |
values for SSD1, it appears to be a little too exclusive, in that all |
| 904 |
+ |
molecules in the first solvation shell are involved in forming ideal |
| 905 |
+ |
hydrogen bonds. The differing numbers for the newly parameterized |
| 906 |
+ |
models indicate the allowance of more fluid configurations in addition |
| 907 |
+ |
to the formation of an acceptable number of ideal hydrogen bonds. |
| 908 |
+ |
|
| 909 |
+ |
The time constants for the self orientational autocorrelation function |
| 910 |
+ |
are also displayed in Table \ref{liquidproperties}. The dipolar |
| 911 |
+ |
orientational time correlation function ($\Gamma_{l}$) is described |
| 912 |
+ |
by: |
| 913 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 914 |
+ |
\Gamma_{l}(t) = \langle P_l[\mathbf{u}_j(0)\cdot\mathbf{u}_j(t)]\rangle, |
| 915 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 916 |
+ |
where $P_l$ is a Legendre polynomial of order $l$ and $\mathbf{u}_j$ |
| 917 |
+ |
is the unit vector of the particle dipole.\cite{Rahman71} From these |
| 918 |
+ |
correlation functions, the orientational relaxation time of the dipole |
| 919 |
+ |
vector can be calculated from an exponential fit in the long-time |
| 920 |
+ |
regime ($t > \tau_l^\mu$).\cite{Rothschild84} Calculation of these |
| 921 |
+ |
time constants were averaged from five detailed NVE simulations |
| 922 |
+ |
performed at the STP density for each of the respective models. Again, |
| 923 |
+ |
SSD/E and SSD/RF show improved behavior over SSD1 both with and |
| 924 |
+ |
without an active reaction field. Numbers published from the original |
| 925 |
+ |
SSD dynamics studies appear closer to the experimental values, and we |
| 926 |
+ |
attribute this discrepancy to the implimentation of an Ewald sum |
| 927 |
+ |
versus a reaction field. |
