Long-range dipole-dipole interactions were accounted for in this study |
211 |
|
by using either the reaction field method or by resorting to a simple |
212 |
< |
cubic switching function at a cutoff radius. Under the first method, |
213 |
< |
the magnitude of the reaction field acting on dipole $i$ is |
212 |
> |
cubic switching function at a cutoff radius. The reaction field |
213 |
> |
method was actually first used in Monte Carlo simulations of liquid |
214 |
> |
water.\cite{Barker73} Under this method, the magnitude of the reaction |
215 |
> |
field acting on dipole $i$ is |
216 |
|
\begin{equation} |
217 |
|
\mathcal{E}_{i} = \frac{2(\varepsilon_{s} - 1)}{2\varepsilon_{s} + 1} |
218 |
|
\frac{1}{r_{c}^{3}} \sum_{j\in{\mathcal{R}}} {\bf \mu}_{j} f(r_{ij})\ , |
235 |
|
|
236 |
|
We have also performed a companion set of simulations {\it without} a |
237 |
|
surrounding dielectric (i.e. using a simple cubic switching function |
238 |
< |
at the cutoff radius) and as a result we have two reparamaterizations |
239 |
< |
of SSD which could be used either with or without the Reaction Field |
238 |
> |
at the cutoff radius), and as a result we have two reparamaterizations |
239 |

of SSD which could be used either with or without the reaction field |
240 |

turned on. |

|
Simulations to obtain the preferred density were performed in the |
254 |
|
symplectic splitting method proposed by Dullweber {\it et |
255 |
|
al.}\cite{Dullweber1997} Our reason for selecting this integrator |
256 |
|
centers on poor energy conservation of rigid body dynamics using |
257 |
< |
traditional quaternion integration.\cite{Evans77,Evans77b} While quaternions |
258 |
< |
may work well for orientational motion under NVT or NPT integrators, |
259 |
< |
our limits on energy drift in the microcanonical ensemble were quite |
260 |
< |
strict, and the drift under quaternions was substantially greater than |
261 |
< |
in the symplectic splitting method. This steady drift in the total |
260 |
< |
energy has also been observed by Kol {\it et al.}\cite{Laird97} |
257 |
> |
traditional quaternion integration.\cite{Evans77,Evans77b} In typical |
258 |

microcanonical ensemble simulations, the energy drift when using |
259 |
> |
quaternions was substantially greater than when using the symplectic |
260 |

splitting method (fig. \ref{timestep}). This steady drift in the |
261 |

total energy has also been observed by Kol {\it et al.}\cite{Laird97} |

|
The key difference in the integration method proposed by Dullweber |
264 |
|
\emph{et al.} is that the entire rotation matrix is propagated from |
448 |
|
mean-square displacement as a function of time. The averaged results |
449 |
|
from five sets of NVE simulations are displayed in figure |
450 |

\ref{diffuse}, alongside experimental, SPC/E, and TIP5P |
451 |

results.\cite{Gillen72,Mills73,Clancy94,Jorgensen01} |

SSD/RF show an improvement over SSD1. This improvement is primarily |

due to the widening of the first solvation shell peak, allowing the |

The time constants for the self orientational autocorrelation function |
909 |
|
are also displayed in Table \ref{liquidproperties}. The dipolar |
918 |
|
vector can be calculated from an exponential fit in the long-time |
919 |
|
regime ($t > \tau_l^\mu$).\cite{Rothschild84} Calculation of these |
920 |
|
time constants were averaged from five detailed NVE simulations |

performed at the STP density for each of the respective models. |

should be noted that the commonly cited value for $\tau_2$ of 1.9 ps |
923 |

was determined from the NMR data in reference \citen{Krynicki66} at a |

temperature near 34$^\circ$C.\cite{Rahman73} Because of the strong |

at 298 K to make proper comparisons. The value shown in Table |
927 |

\ref{liquidproperties} was calculated from the same NMR data in the |

fashion described in reference \citen{Krynicki66}. Again, SSD/E and |
929 |

SSD/RF show improved behavior over SSD1, both with and without an |

active reaction field. Turning on the reaction field leads to much |
931 |

improved time constants for SSD1; however, these results also include |

a corresponding decrease in system density. Numbers published from the |

original SSD dynamics studies appear closer to the experimental |

values, and this difference can be attributed to the use of the Ewald |
