NVE and NPT molecular dynamics simulations were performed in order to |

investigate the density maximum and temperature dependent transport |

for the SSD water model, both with and without the use of reaction |

field. The constant pressure simulations of the melting of both $I_h$ |
42 |

and $I_c$ ice showed a density maximum near 260 K. In most cases, the |
43 |

calculated densities were significantly lower than the densities |

experimental very well in both the normal and super-cooled liquid |

reparameterized for use both with and without a long-range interaction |

\section{Introduction} |
75 |
|
|
76 |
< |
One of the most important tasks in simulations of biochemical systems |
77 |
< |
is the proper depiction of water and water solvation. In fact, the |
78 |
< |
bulk of the calculations performed in solvated simulations are of |
79 |
< |
interactions with or between solvent molecules. Thus, the outcomes of |
80 |
< |
these types of simulations are highly dependent on the physical |
81 |
< |
properties of water, both as individual molecules and in |
82 |
< |
groups/bulk. Due to the fact that explicit solvent accounts for a |
83 |
< |
massive portion of the calculations, it necessary to simplify the |
73 |
< |
solvent to some extent in order to complete simulations in a |
74 |
< |
reasonable amount of time. In the case of simulating water in |
75 |
< |
bio-molecular studies, the balance between accurate properties and |
76 |
< |
computational efficiency is especially delicate, and it has resulted |
77 |
< |
in a variety of different water |
78 |
< |
models.\cite{Jorgensen83,Berendsen87,Jorgensen00} Many of these models |
79 |
< |
get specific properties correct or better than their predecessors, but |
80 |
< |
this is often at a cost of some other properties or of computer |
81 |
< |
time. As an example, compare TIP3P or TIP4P to TIP5P. TIP5P succeeds |
82 |
< |
in improving the structural and transport properties over its |
83 |
< |
predecessors, yet this comes at a greater than 50\% increase in |
84 |
< |
computational cost.\cite{Jorgensen01,Jorgensen00} One recently |
85 |
< |
developed model that succeeds in both retaining accuracy of system |
86 |
< |
properties and simplifying calculations to increase computational |
87 |
< |
efficiency is the Soft Sticky Dipole water model.\cite{Ichiye96} |
76 |
> |
One of the most important tasks in the simulation of biochemical |
77 |
> |
systems is the proper depiction of the aqueous environment of the |
78 |
> |
molecules of interest. In some cases (such as in the simulation of |
79 |
> |
phospholipid bilayers), the majority of the calculations that are |
80 |
> |
performed involve interactions with or between solvent molecules. |
81 |
> |
Thus, the properties one may observe in biochemical simulations are |
82 |
> |
going to be highly dependent on the physical properties of the water |
83 |
> |
model that is chosen. |
84 |
|
|
85 |
< |
The Soft Sticky Dipole (SSD)\ water model was developed by Ichiye |
86 |
< |
\emph{et al.} as a modified form of the hard-sphere water model |
87 |
< |
proposed by Bratko, Blum, and Luzar.\cite{Bratko85,Bratko95} SSD |
88 |
< |
consists of a single point dipole with a Lennard-Jones core and a |
89 |
< |
sticky potential that directs the particles to assume the proper |
90 |
< |
hydrogen bond orientation in the first solvation shell. Thus, the |
91 |
< |
interaction between two SSD water molecules \emph{i} and \emph{j} is |
92 |
< |
given by the potential |
85 |
> |
There is an especially delicate balance between computational |
86 |
> |
efficiency and the ability of the water model to accurately predict |
87 |
> |
the properties of bulk |
88 |
> |
water.\cite{Jorgensen83,Berendsen87,Jorgensen00} For example, the |
89 |
> |
TIP5P model improves on the structural and transport properties of |
90 |
> |
water relative to the previous TIP models, yet this comes at a greater |
91 |
> |
than 50\% increase in computational |
92 |
> |
cost.\cite{Jorgensen01,Jorgensen00} |
93 |
> |
|
94 |
> |
One recently developed model that largely succeeds in retaining the |
95 |
> |
accuracy of bulk properties while greatly reducing the computational |
96 |
> |
cost is the Soft Sticky Dipole (SSD) water |
97 |
> |
model.\cite{Ichiye96,Ichiye96b,Ichiye99,Ichiye03} The SSD model |
98 |
> |
was developed by Ichiye \emph{et al.} as a modified form of the |
99 |
> |
hard-sphere water model proposed by Bratko, Blum, and |
100 |
> |
Luzar.\cite{Bratko85,Bratko95} SSD is a {\it single point} model |
101 |
> |
which has an interaction site that is both a point dipole and a |
102 |
> |
Lennard-Jones core. However, since the normal aligned and |
103 |
> |
anti-aligned geometries favored by point dipoles are poor mimics of |
104 |
> |
local structure in liquid water, a short ranged ``sticky'' potential |
105 |
> |
is also added. The sticky potential directs the molecules to assume |
106 |
> |
the proper hydrogen bond orientation in the first solvation shell. |
107 |
> |
|
108 |
> |
The interaction between two SSD water molecules \emph{i} and \emph{j} |
109 |
> |
is given by the potential |
110 |
|
\begin{equation} |
111 |
|
u_{ij} = u_{ij}^{LJ} (r_{ij})\ + u_{ij}^{dp} |
112 |
< |
(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j)\ + |
112 |
> |
({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j)\ + |
113 |
|
u_{ij}^{sp} |
114 |
< |
(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j), |
114 |
> |
({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j), |
115 |
|
\end{equation} |
116 |
< |
where the $\mathbf{r}_{ij}$ is the position vector between molecules |
117 |
< |
\emph{i} and \emph{j} with magnitude equal to the distance $r_ij$, and |
118 |
< |
$\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i$ and $\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j$ represent the |
119 |
< |
orientations of the respective molecules. The Lennard-Jones, dipole, |
120 |
< |
and sticky parts of the potential are giving by the following |
108 |
< |
equations, |
116 |
> |
where the ${\bf r}_{ij}$ is the position vector between molecules |
117 |
> |
\emph{i} and \emph{j} with magnitude $r_{ij}$, and |
118 |
> |
${\bf \Omega}_i$ and ${\bf \Omega}_j$ represent the orientations of |
119 |
> |
the two molecules. The Lennard-Jones and dipole interactions are given |
120 |
> |
by the following familiar forms: |
121 |
|
\begin{equation} |
122 |
< |
u_{ij}^{LJ}(r_{ij}) = 4\epsilon \left[\left(\frac{\sigma}{r_{ij}}\right)^{12}-\left(\frac{\sigma}{r_{ij}}\right)^{6}\right], |
122 |
> |
u_{ij}^{LJ}(r_{ij}) = 4\epsilon |
123 |
> |
\left[\left(\frac{\sigma}{r_{ij}}\right)^{12}-\left(\frac{\sigma}{r_{ij}}\right)^{6}\right] |
124 |
> |
\ , |
125 |
|
\end{equation} |
126 |
+ |
and |
127 |
|
\begin{equation} |
128 |
< |
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}\ , |
128 |
> |
u_{ij}^{dp} = \frac{|\mu_i||\mu_j|}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r_{ij}^3} \left( |
129 |
> |
\hat{\bf u}_i \cdot \hat{\bf u}_j - 3(\hat{\bf u}_i\cdot\hat{\bf |
130 |
> |
r}_{ij})(\hat{\bf u}_j\cdot\hat{\bf r}_{ij}) \right)\ , |
131 |
|
\end{equation} |
132 |
+ |
where $\hat{\bf u}_i$ and $\hat{\bf u}_j$ are the unit vectors along |
133 |
+ |
the dipoles of molecules $i$ and $j$ respectively. $|\mu_i|$ and |
134 |
+ |
$|\mu_j|$ are the strengths of the dipole moments, and $\hat{\bf |
135 |
+ |
r}_{ij}$ is the unit vector pointing from molecule $j$ to molecule |
136 |
+ |
$i$. |
137 |
+ |
|
138 |
+ |
The sticky potential is somewhat less familiar: |
139 |
|
\begin{equation} |
116 |
– |
\begin{split} |
140 |
|
u_{ij}^{sp} |
141 |
< |
(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j) |
142 |
< |
&= |
143 |
< |
\frac{\nu_0}{2}[s(r_{ij})w(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j)\\ |
144 |
< |
& \quad \ + |
145 |
< |
s^\prime(r_{ij})w^\prime(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j)]\ , |
123 |
< |
\end{split} |
141 |
> |
({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j) = |
142 |
> |
\frac{\nu_0}{2}[s(r_{ij})w({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j) |
143 |
> |
+ s^\prime(r_{ij})w^\prime({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf |
144 |
> |
\Omega}_j)]\ . |
145 |
> |
\label{stickyfunction} |
146 |
|
\end{equation} |
147 |
< |
where $\boldsymbol{\mu}_i$ and $\boldsymbol{\mu}_j$ are the dipole |
148 |
< |
unit vectors of particles \emph{i} and \emph{j} with magnitude 2.35 D, |
149 |
< |
$\nu_0$ scales the strength of the overall sticky potential, $s$ and |
150 |
< |
$s^\prime$ are cubic switching functions. The $w$ and $w^\prime$ |
151 |
< |
functions take the following forms, |
147 |
> |
Here, $\nu_0$ is a strength parameter for the sticky potential, and |
148 |
> |
$s$ and $s^\prime$ are cubic switching functions which turn off the |
149 |
> |
sticky interaction beyond the first solvation shell. The $w$ function |
150 |
> |
can be thought of as an attractive potential with tetrahedral |
151 |
> |
geometry: |
152 |
|
\begin{equation} |
153 |
< |
w(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\boldsymbol{\Omega}_i,\boldsymbol{\Omega}_j)=\sin\theta_{ij}\sin2\theta_{ij}\cos2\phi_{ij}, |
153 |
> |
w({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j)=\sin\theta_{ij}\sin2\theta_{ij}\cos2\phi_{ij}, |
154 |
|
\end{equation} |
155 |
+ |
while the $w^\prime$ function counters the normal aligned and |
156 |
+ |
anti-aligned structures favored by point dipoles: |
157 |
|
\begin{equation} |
158 |
< |
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, |
158 |
> |
w^\prime({\bf r}_{ij},{\bf \Omega}_i,{\bf \Omega}_j) = (\cos\theta_{ij}-0.6)^2(\cos\theta_{ij}+0.8)^2-w^\circ, |
159 |
|
\end{equation} |
160 |
< |
where $w^0 = 0.07715$. The $w$ function is the tetrahedral attractive |
161 |
< |
term that promotes hydrogen bonding orientations within the first |
162 |
< |
solvation shell, and $w^\prime$ is a dipolar repulsion term that |
163 |
< |
repels unrealistic dipolar arrangements within the first solvation |
164 |
< |
shell. A more detailed description of the functional parts and |
165 |
< |
variables in this potential can be found in other |
166 |
< |
articles.\cite{Ichiye96,Ichiye99} |
160 |
> |
It should be noted that $w$ is proportional to the sum of the $Y_3^2$ |
161 |
> |
and $Y_3^{-2}$ spherical harmonics (a linear combination which |
162 |
> |
enhances the tetrahedral geometry for hydrogen bonded structures), |
163 |
> |
while $w^\prime$ is a purely empirical function. A more detailed |
164 |
> |
description of the functional parts and variables in this potential |
165 |
> |
can be found in the original SSD |
166 |
> |
articles.\cite{Ichiye96,Ichiye96b,Ichiye99,Ichiye03} |
167 |
|
|
168 |
< |
Being that this is a one-site point dipole model, the actual force |
169 |
< |
calculations are simplified significantly. In the original Monte Carlo |
170 |
< |
simulations using this model, Ichiye \emph{et al.} reported a |
171 |
< |
calculation speed up of up to an order of magnitude over other |
172 |
< |
comparable models while maintaining the structural behavior of |
173 |
< |
water.\cite{Ichiye96} In the original molecular dynamics studies of |
174 |
< |
SSD, it was shown that it actually improves upon the prediction of |
175 |
< |
water's dynamical properties 3 and 4-point models.\cite{Ichiye99} This |
176 |
< |
attractive combination of speed and accurate depiction of solvent |
177 |
< |
properties makes SSD a model of interest for the simulation of large |
178 |
< |
scale biological systems, such as membrane phase behavior, a specific |
179 |
< |
interest within our group. |
168 |
> |
Since SSD is a single-point {\it dipolar} model, the force |
169 |
> |
calculations are simplified significantly relative to the standard |
170 |
> |
{\it charged} multi-point models. In the original Monte Carlo |
171 |
> |
simulations using this model, Liu and Ichiye reported that using SSD |
172 |
> |
decreased computer time by a factor of 6-7 compared to other |
173 |
> |
models.\cite{Ichiye96} What is most impressive is that this savings |
174 |
> |
did not come at the expense of accurate depiction of the liquid state |
175 |
> |
properties. Indeed, SSD maintains reasonable agreement with the Soper |
176 |
> |
data for the structural features of liquid |
177 |
> |
water.\cite{Soper86,Ichiye96} Additionally, the dynamical properties |
178 |
> |
exhibited by SSD agree with experiment better than those of more |
179 |
> |
computationally expensive models (like TIP3P and |
180 |
> |
SPC/E).\cite{Ichiye99} The combination of speed and accurate depiction |
181 |
> |
of solvent properties makes SSD a very attractive model for the |
182 |
> |
simulation of large scale biochemical simulations. |
183 |
|
|
184 |
< |
Up to this point, a detailed look at the model's structure and ion |
185 |
< |
solvation abilities has been performed.\cite{Ichiye96} In addition, a |
186 |
< |
thorough investigation of the dynamic properties of SSD was performed |
187 |
< |
by Chandra and Ichiye focusing on translational and orientational |
188 |
< |
properties at 298 K.\cite{Ichiye99} This study focuses on determining |
189 |
< |
the density maximum for SSD utilizing both microcanonical and |
190 |
< |
isobaric-isothermal ensemble molecular dynamics, while using the |
191 |
< |
reaction field method for handling long-ranged dipolar interactions. A |
192 |
< |
reaction field method has been previously implemented in Monte Carlo |
193 |
< |
simulations by Liu and Ichiye in order to study the static dielectric |
194 |
< |
constant for the model.\cite{Ichiye96b} This paper will expand the |
195 |
< |
scope of these original simulations to look on how the reaction field |
196 |
< |
affects the physical and dynamic properties of SSD systems. |
184 |
> |
One feature of the SSD model is that it was parameterized for |
185 |
> |
use with the Ewald sum to handle long-range interactions. This would |
186 |
> |
normally be the best way of handling long-range interactions in |
187 |
> |
systems that contain other point charges. However, our group has |
188 |
> |
recently become interested in systems with point dipoles as mimics for |
189 |
> |
neutral, but polarized regions on molecules (e.g. the zwitterionic |
190 |
> |
head group regions of phospholipids). If the system of interest does |
191 |
> |
not contain point charges, the Ewald sum and even particle-mesh Ewald |
192 |
> |
become computational bottlenecks. Their respective ideal |
193 |
> |
$N^\frac{3}{2}$ and $N\log N$ calculation scaling orders for $N$ |
194 |
> |
particles can become prohibitive when $N$ becomes |
195 |
> |
large.\cite{Darden99} In applying this water model in these types of |
196 |
> |
systems, it would be useful to know its properties and behavior under |
197 |
> |
the more computationally efficient reaction field (RF) technique, or |
198 |
> |
even with a simple cutoff. This study addresses these issues by |
199 |
> |
looking at the structural and transport behavior of SSD over a |
200 |
> |
variety of temperatures with the purpose of utilizing the RF |
201 |
> |
correction technique. We then suggest modifications to the parameters |
202 |
> |
that result in more realistic bulk phase behavior. It should be noted |
203 |
> |
that in a recent publication, some of the original investigators of |
204 |
> |
the SSD water model have suggested adjustments to the SSD |
205 |
> |
water model to address abnormal density behavior (also observed here), |

\section{Methods} |
213 |
|
|
214 |
< |
As stated previously, in this study the long-range dipole-dipole |
215 |
< |
interactions were accounted for using the reaction field method. The |
216 |
< |
magnitude of the reaction field acting on dipole \emph{i} is given by |

Long-range dipole-dipole interactions were accounted for in this study |
215 |

by using either the reaction field technique or by resorting to a |
216 |

simple cubic switching function at a cutoff radius. One of the early |
217 |

applications of a reaction field was actually in Monte Carlo |
218 |
> |
simulations of liquid water.\cite{Barker73} Under this method, the |
219 |

magnitude of the reaction field acting on dipole $i$ is |
220 |
|
\begin{equation} |
221 |
|
\mathcal{E}_{i} = \frac{2(\varepsilon_{s} - 1)}{2\varepsilon_{s} + 1} |
222 |
< |
\frac{1}{r_{c}^{3}} \sum_{j\in{\mathcal{R}}} \boldsymbol{\mu}_{j} f(r_{ij})\ , |
222 |
> |
\frac{1}{r_{c}^{3}} \sum_{j\in{\mathcal{R}}} {\bf \mu}_{j} s(r_{ij}), |
223 |
|
\label{rfequation} |
224 |
|
\end{equation} |
225 |
|
where $\mathcal{R}$ is the cavity defined by the cutoff radius |
226 |
|
($r_{c}$), $\varepsilon_{s}$ is the dielectric constant imposed on the |
227 |
< |
system (80 in this case), $\boldsymbol{\mu}_{j}$ is the dipole moment |
228 |
< |
vector of particle \emph{j}, and $f(r_{ij})$ is a cubic switching |
227 |
> |
system (80 in the case of liquid water), ${\bf \mu}_{j}$ is the dipole |
228 |
> |
moment vector of particle $j$, and $s(r_{ij})$ is a cubic switching |
229 |
|
function.\cite{AllenTildesley} The reaction field contribution to the |
230 |
< |
total energy by particle \emph{i} is given by |
231 |
< |
$-\frac{1}{2}\boldsymbol{\mu}_{i}\cdot\mathcal{E}_{i}$ and the torque |
232 |
< |
on dipole \emph{i} by |
233 |
< |
$\boldsymbol{\mu}_{i}\times\mathcal{E}_{i}$.\cite{AllenTildesley} Use |
234 |
< |
of reaction field is known to alter the orientational dynamic |
235 |
< |
properties, such as the dielectric relaxation time, based on changes |
236 |
< |
in the length of the cutoff radius.\cite{Berendsen98} This variable |
237 |
< |
behavior makes reaction field a less attractive method than other |
238 |
< |
methods, like the Ewald summation; however, for the simulation of |
195 |
< |
large-scale system, the computational cost benefit of reaction field |
196 |
< |
is dramatic. To address some of the dynamical property alterations due |
197 |
< |
to the use of reaction field, simulations were also performed without |
198 |
< |
a surrounding dielectric and suggestions are proposed on how to make |
199 |
< |
SSD more compatible with a reaction field. |

total energy by particle $i$ is given by $-\frac{1}{2}{\bf |

field is known to alter the bulk orientational properties of simulated |

changes in the length of the cutoff radius.\cite{Berendsen98} This |

239 |
|
|
240 |
< |
Simulations were performed in both the isobaric-isothermal and |
241 |
< |
microcanonical ensembles. The constant pressure simulations were |
240 |

We have also performed a companion set of simulations {\it without} a |
241 |

surrounding dielectric (i.e. using a simple cubic switching function |
242 |

at the cutoff radius), and as a result we have two reparamaterizations |
243 |

of SSD which could be used either with or without the reaction |
244 |

field turned on. |
245 |

|
246 |

Simulations to obtain the preferred densities of the models were |
247 |

performed in the isobaric-isothermal (NPT) ensemble, while all |
248 |

dynamical properties were obtained from microcanonical (NVE) |
249 |

simulations done at densities matching the NPT density for a |
250 |

particular target temperature. The constant pressure simulations were |
251 |
|
implemented using an integral thermostat and barostat as outlined by |
252 |
< |
Hoover.\cite{Hoover85,Hoover86} For the constant pressure |
253 |
< |
simulations, the \emph{Q} parameter for the was set to 5.0 amu |
254 |
< |
\(\cdot\)\AA\(^{2}\), and the relaxation time (\(\tau\))\ was set at |
255 |
< |
100 ps. |

Hoover.\cite{Hoover85,Hoover86} All molecules were treated as |
253 |

non-linear rigid bodies. Vibrational constraints are not necessary in |
254 |

simulations of SSD, because there are no explicit hydrogen |
255 |

atoms, and thus no molecular vibrational modes need to be considered. |
256 |
|
|
257 |
|
Integration of the equations of motion was carried out using the |
258 |
< |
symplectic splitting method proposed by Dullweber \emph{et |
259 |
< |
al.}.\cite{Dullweber1997} The reason for this integrator selection |
260 |
< |
deals with poor energy conservation of rigid body systems using |
261 |
< |
quaternions. While quaternions work well for orientational motion in |
262 |
< |
alternate ensembles, the microcanonical ensemble has a constant energy |
263 |
< |
requirement that is actually quite sensitive to errors in the |
264 |
< |
equations of motion. The original implementation of this code utilized |
265 |
< |
quaternions for rotational motion propagation; however, a detailed |
266 |
< |
investigation showed that they resulted in a steady drift in the total |
219 |
< |
energy, something that has been observed by others.\cite{Laird97} |
258 |
> |
symplectic splitting method proposed by Dullweber, Leimkuhler, and |
259 |
> |
McLachlan ({\sc dlm}).\cite{Dullweber1997} Our reason for selecting |
260 |
> |
this integrator centers on poor energy conservation of rigid body |
261 |
> |
dynamics using traditional quaternion |
262 |
> |
integration.\cite{Evans77,Evans77b} In typical microcanonical ensemble |
263 |
> |
simulations, the energy drift when using quaternions was substantially |
264 |
> |
greater than when using the {\sc dlm} method (fig. \ref{timestep}). |
265 |
> |
This steady drift in the total energy has also been observed by Kol |
266 |
> |
{\it et al.}\cite{Laird97} |
267 |
|
|
268 |
|
The key difference in the integration method proposed by Dullweber |
269 |
|
\emph{et al.} is that the entire rotation matrix is propagated from |
270 |
< |
one time step to the next. In the past, this would not have been as |
271 |
< |
feasible a option, being that the rotation matrix for a single body is |
272 |
< |
nine elements long as opposed to 3 or 4 elements for Euler angles and |
273 |
< |
quaternions respectively. System memory has become much less of an |
227 |
< |
issue in recent times, and this has resulted in substantial benefits |
228 |
< |
in energy conservation. There is still the issue of an additional 5 or |
229 |
< |
6 additional elements for describing the orientation of each particle, |
230 |
< |
which will increase dump files substantially. Simply translating the |
231 |
< |
rotation matrix into its component Euler angles or quaternions for |
232 |
< |
storage purposes relieves this burden. |
270 |
> |
one time step to the next. The additional memory required by the |
271 |
> |
algorithm is inconsequential on modern computers, and translating the |
272 |
> |
rotation matrix into quaternions for storage purposes makes trajectory |
273 |
> |
data quite compact. |
274 |
|
|
275 |
< |
The symplectic splitting method allows for Verlet style integration of |
276 |
< |
both linear and angular motion of rigid bodies. In the integration |
277 |
< |
method, the orientational propagation involves a sequence of matrix |
278 |
< |
evaluations to update the rotation matrix.\cite{Dullweber1997} These |
279 |
< |
matrix rotations end up being more costly computationally than the |
280 |
< |
simpler arithmetic quaternion propagation. On average, a 1000 SSD |
281 |
< |
particle simulation shows a 7\% increase in simulation time using the |
282 |
< |
symplectic step method in place of quaternions. This cost is more than |
283 |
< |
justified when comparing the energy conservation of the two methods as |
284 |
< |
illustrated in figure \ref{timestep}. |
275 |
> |
The {\sc dlm} method allows for Verlet style integration of both |
276 |
> |
translational and orientational motion of rigid bodies. In this |
277 |
> |
integration method, the orientational propagation involves a sequence |
278 |
> |
of matrix evaluations to update the rotation |
279 |
> |
matrix.\cite{Dullweber1997} These matrix rotations are more costly |
280 |
> |
than the simpler arithmetic quaternion propagation. With the same time |
281 |
> |
step, a 1000 SSD particle simulation shows an average 7\% |
282 |
> |
increase in computation time using the {\sc dlm} method in place of |
283 |
> |
quaternions. The additional expense per step is justified when one |
284 |
> |
considers the ability to use time steps that are nearly twice as large |
285 |
> |
under {\sc dlm} than would be usable under quaternion dynamics. The |
286 |
> |
energy conservation of the two methods using a number of different |
287 |

time steps is illustrated in figure |
288 |

In figure \ref{timestep}, the resulting energy drift at various time |
303 |

steps for both the symplectic step and quaternion integration schemes |
304 |
< |
is compared. All of the 1000 SSD particle simulations started with the |
305 |

same configuration, and the only difference was the method for |
306 |
< |
handling rotational motion. At time steps of 0.1 and 0.5 fs, both |
307 |

methods for propagating particle rotation conserve energy fairly well, |
308 |

with the quaternion method showing a slight energy drift over time in |

323 |

Ice crystals in both the $I_h$ and $I_c$ lattices were generated as |
324 |
< |
starting points for all the simulations. The $I_h$ crystals were |
325 |
< |
formed by first arranging the center of masses of the SSD particles |
326 |
< |
into a ``hexagonal'' ice lattice of 1024 particles. Because of the |
327 |
< |
crystal structure of $I_h$ ice, the simulation box assumed a |
328 |

rectangular shape with a edge length ratio of approximately |

328 |

orthorhombic shape with an edge length ratio of approximately |
329 |
|
1.00$\times$1.06$\times$1.23. The particles were then allowed to |
330 |
|
orient freely about fixed positions with angular momenta randomized at |
331 |
< |
400 K for varying times. The rotational temperature was then scaled |
332 |
< |
down in stages to slowly cool the crystals down to 25 K. The particles |
333 |
< |
were then allowed translate with fixed orientations at a constant |
334 |
< |
pressure of 1 atm for 50 ps at 25 K. Finally, all constraints were |
335 |
< |
removed and the ice crystals were allowed to equilibrate for 50 ps at |
336 |
< |
25 K and a constant pressure of 1 atm. This procedure resulted in |

structurally stable $I_h$ ice crystals that obey the Bernal-Fowler |
338 |

rules\cite{Bernal33,Rahman72}. This method was also utilized in the |
338 |

rules.\cite{Bernal33,Rahman72} This method was also utilized in the |
339 |
|
making of diamond lattice $I_c$ ice crystals, with each cubic |
340 |
|
simulation box consisting of either 512 or 1000 particles. Only |
341 |
|
isotropic volume fluctuations were performed under constant pressure, |
345 |

\section{Results and discussion} |
346 |
|
|
347 |
|
Melting studies were performed on the randomized ice crystals using |
348 |
< |
constant pressure and temperature dynamics. This involved an initial |
349 |
< |
randomization of velocities about the starting temperature of 25 K for |
350 |
< |
varying amounts of time. The systems were all equilibrated for 100 ps |
351 |
< |
prior to a 200 ps data collection run at each temperature setting, |
352 |
< |
ranging from 25 to 400 K, with a maximum degree increment of 25 K. For |
353 |
< |
regions of interest along this stepwise progression, the temperature |
354 |
< |
increment was decreased from 25 K to 10 and then 5 K. The above |
355 |
< |
equilibration and production times were sufficient in that the system |
356 |
< |
volume fluctuations dampened out in all but the very cold simulations |
357 |
< |
(below 225 K). In order to further improve statistics, five separate |
358 |
< |
simulation progressions were performed, and the averaged results from |
359 |

the $I_h$ melting simulations are shown in figure \ref{dense1}. |

isobaric-isothermal (NPT) dynamics. During melting simulations, the |

melting transition and the density maximum can both be observed, |
350 |
> |
provided that the density maximum occurs in the liquid and not the |
351 |
> |
supercooled regime. An ensemble average from five separate melting |
352 |

simulations was acquired, each starting from different ice crystals |

generated as described previously. All simulations were equilibrated |
354 |

for 100~ps prior to a 200~ps data collection run at each temperature |

setting. The temperature range of study spanned from 25 to 400~K, with |
356 |

a maximum degree increment of 25~K. For regions of interest along this |
357 |

stepwise progression, the temperature increment was decreased from |
358 |

25~K to 10 and 5~K. The above equilibration and production times were |
359 |

sufficient in that fluctuations in the volume autocorrelation function |
360 |

were damped out in all simulations in under 20~ps. |

\subsection{Density Behavior} |
363 |
< |
In the initial average density versus temperature plot, the density |
364 |
< |
maximum clearly appears between 255 and 265 K. The calculated |
365 |
< |
densities within this range were nearly indistinguishable, as can be |
366 |
< |
seen in the zoom of this region of interest, shown in figure |
367 |
< |
\ref{dense1}. The greater certainty of the average value at 260 K makes |
368 |
< |
a good argument for the actual density maximum residing at this |
369 |
< |
midpoint value. Figure \ref{dense1} was constructed using ice $I_h$ |
370 |
< |
crystals for the initial configuration; and though not pictured, the |
371 |
< |
simulations starting from ice $I_c$ crystal configurations showed |
372 |
< |
similar results, with a liquid-phase density maximum in this same |
373 |
< |
region (between 255 and 260 K). In addition, the $I_c$ crystals are |
332 |
< |
more fragile than the $I_h$ crystals, leading them to deform into a |
333 |
< |
dense glassy state at lower temperatures. This resulted in an overall |
334 |
< |
low temperature density maximum at 200 K, but they still retained a |
335 |
< |
common liquid state density maximum with the $I_h$ simulations. |
363 |
> |
|
364 |
> |
Our initial simulations focused on the original SSD water model, |
365 |
> |
and an average density versus temperature plot is shown in figure |
366 |
> |
\ref{dense1}. Note that the density maximum when using a reaction |
367 |
> |
field appears between 255 and 265~K. There were smaller fluctuations |
368 |
> |
in the density at 260~K than at either 255 or 265~K, so we report this |
369 |
> |
value as the location of the density maximum. Figure \ref{dense1} was |
370 |
> |
constructed using ice $I_h$ crystals for the initial configuration; |
371 |
> |
though not pictured, the simulations starting from ice $I_c$ crystal |
372 |

configurations showed similar results, with a liquid-phase density |
373 |

maximum in this same region (between 255 and 260~K). |

401 |

Possibly of more importance is the density scaling of SSD relative to |
402 |
< |
other common models at any given temperature (Fig. \ref{dense2}). Note |
403 |
< |
that the SSD model assumes a lower density than any of the other |
401 |

It has been observed that liquid state densities in water are |
402 |

dependent on the cutoff radius used both with and without the use of |
403 |

reaction field.\cite{Berendsen98} In order to address the possible |
404 |

effect of cutoff radius, simulations were performed with a dipolar |
405 |

cutoff radius of 12.0~\AA\ to complement the previous SSD |
406 |

simulations, all performed with a cutoff of 9.0~\AA. All of the |
407 |

resulting densities overlapped within error and showed no significant |
408 |

trend toward lower or higher densities as a function of cutoff radius, |
409 |

for simulations both with and without reaction field. These results |
410 |

indicate that there is no major benefit in choosing a longer cutoff |
411 |

radius in simulations using SSD. This is advantageous in that |
412 |

the use of a longer cutoff radius results in a significant increase in |
413 |

the time required to obtain a single trajectory. |
414 |

|
415 |

The key feature to recognize in figure \ref{dense1} is the density |
416 |
> |
scaling of SSD relative to other common models at any given |
417 |
> |
temperature. SSD assumes a lower density than any of the other |
418 |
|
listed models at the same pressure, behavior which is especially |
419 |
< |
apparent at temperatures greater than 300 K. Lower than expected |
420 |
< |
densities have been observed for other systems with the use of a |
421 |
< |
reaction field for long-range electrostatic interactions, so the most |
422 |
< |
likely reason for these significantly lower densities in these |
423 |
< |
simulations is the presence of the reaction field.\cite{Berendsen98} |
424 |
< |
In order to test the effect of the reaction field on the density of |
425 |
< |
the systems, the simulations were repeated for the temperature region |
426 |
< |
of interest without a reaction field present. The results of these |
427 |
< |
simulations are also displayed in figure \ref{dense2}. Without |
428 |
< |
reaction field, these densities increase considerably to more |
429 |
< |
experimentally reasonable values, especially around the freezing point |
430 |
< |
of liquid water. The shape of the curve is similar to the curve |
431 |
< |
produced from SSD simulations using reaction field, specifically the |
432 |
< |
rapidly decreasing densities at higher temperatures; however, a slight |
433 |
< |
shift in the density maximum location, down to 245 K, is |
434 |
< |
observed. This is probably a more accurate comparison to the other |
435 |

listed water models in that no long range corrections were applied in |
436 |

those simulations.\cite{Clancy94,Jorgensen98b} |

It has been observed that densities are dependent on the cutoff radius |

without the use of reaction field.\cite{Berendsen98} In order to |
382 |

the resulting densities overlapped within error and showed no |

significant trend in lower or higher densities as a function of cutoff |

results indicate that there is no major benefit in choosing a longer |

\subsection{Transport Behavior} |
394 |
– |
Of importance in these types of studies are the transport properties |
395 |
– |
of the particles and how they change when altering the environmental |
396 |
– |
conditions. In order to probe transport, constant energy simulations |
397 |
– |
were performed about the average density uncovered by the constant |
398 |
– |
pressure simulations. Simulations started with randomized velocities |
399 |
– |
and underwent 50 ps of temperature scaling and 50 ps of constant |
400 |
– |
energy equilibration before obtaining a 200 ps trajectory. Diffusion |
401 |
– |
constants were calculated via root-mean square deviation analysis. The |
402 |
– |
averaged results from 5 sets of these NVE simulations is displayed in |
403 |

The observed values for the diffusion constant point out one of the |
475 |
< |
strengths of the SSD model. Of the three experimental models shown, |
476 |
< |
the SSD model has the most accurate depiction of the diffusion trend |
477 |
< |
seen in experiment in both the supercooled and normal regimes. SPC/E |
478 |
< |
does a respectable job by getting similar values as SSD and experiment |
479 |
< |
around 290 K; however, it deviates at both higher and lower |
480 |
< |
temperatures, failing to predict the experimental trend. TIP5P and SSD |
481 |
< |
both start off low at the colder temperatures and tend to diffuse too |
482 |

rapidly at the higher temperatures. This type of trend at the higher |
483 |
< |
temperatures is not surprising in that the densities of both TIP5P and |
484 |

SSD are lower than experimental water at temperatures higher than room |
485 |

experiment at these temperatures, albeit not at standard |

\subsection{Structural Changes and Characterization} |

|
491 |
|
By starting the simulations from the crystalline state, the melting |
492 |
< |
transition and the ice structure can be studied along with the liquid |
493 |
< |
phase behavior beyond the melting point. To locate the melting |
494 |
< |
transition, the constant pressure heat capacity (C$_\text{p}$) was |
495 |
< |
monitored in each of the simulations. In the melting simulations of |
496 |
< |
the 1024 particle ice $I_h$ simulations, a large spike in C$_\text{p}$ |
497 |
< |
occurs at 245 K, indicating a first order phase transition for the |
498 |
< |
melting of these ice crystals. When the reaction field is turned off, |
499 |
< |
the melting transition occurs at 235 K. These melting transitions are |
500 |
< |
considerably lower than the experimental value, but this is not |
443 |
< |
surprising in that SSD is a simple rigid body model with a fixed |
444 |

dipole. |

This complex interplay between dipole and sticky interactions was |
557 |
|
remarked upon as a possible reason for the split second peak in the |
558 |
< |
oxygen-oxygen g(\emph{r}).\cite{Ichiye96} At low temperatures, the |
559 |
< |
second solvation shell peak appears to have two distinct parts that |

559 |

$g_\mathrm{OO}(r)$.\cite{Ichiye96} At low temperatures, the second |
560 |
> |
solvation shell peak appears to have two distinct components that |
561 |
|
blend together to form one observable peak. At higher temperatures, |
562 |
< |
this split character alters to show the leading 4 \AA\ peak dominated |
563 |
< |
by equatorial anti-parallel dipole orientations, and there is tightly |
564 |
< |
bunched group of axially arranged dipoles that most likely consist of |
565 |
< |
the smaller fraction aligned dipole pairs. The trailing part of the |
566 |
< |
split peak at 5 \AA\ is dominated by aligned dipoles that range |
567 |
< |
primarily within the axial to the chief hydrogen bond arrangements |
568 |
< |
similar to those seen in the first solvation shell. This evidence |
569 |
< |
indicates that the dipole pair interaction begins to dominate outside |
570 |
< |
of the range of the dipolar repulsion term, with the primary |
571 |
< |
energetically favorable dipole arrangements populating the region |
572 |
< |
immediately outside of it's range (around 4 \AA), and arrangements |
573 |
< |
that seek to ideally satisfy both the sticky and dipole forces locate |
574 |
< |
themselves just beyond this region (around 5 \AA). |

From these findings, the split second peak is primarily the product of |
577 |
< |
the dipolar repulsion term of the sticky potential. In fact, the |
578 |
< |
leading of the two peaks can be pushed out and merged with the outer |
579 |
< |
split peak just by extending the switching function cutoff |
580 |
< |
($s^\prime(r_{ij})$) from its normal 4.0 \AA\ to values of 4.5 or even |
581 |
< |
5 \AA. This type of correction is not recommended for improving the |
582 |
< |
liquid structure, because the second solvation shell will still be |
583 |
< |
shifted too far out. In addition, this would have an even more |
584 |
< |
detrimental effect on the system densities, leading to a liquid with a |
585 |
< |
more open structure and a density considerably lower than the normal |
586 |
< |
SSD behavior shown previously. A better correction would be to include |
587 |
< |
the quadrupole-quadrupole interactions for the water particles outside |
588 |
< |
of the first solvation shell, but this reduces the simplicity and |
589 |
< |
speed advantage of SSD, so it is not the most desirable path to take. |

The propensity of SSD to adopt lower than expected densities under |

order to correct this behavior, it's necessary to adjust the force |

597 |

In the paper detailing the development of SSD, Liu and Ichiye placed |
650 |
< |
particular emphasis on an accurate description of the first solvation |
651 |
< |
shell. This resulted in a somewhat tall and sharp first peak that |
652 |
< |
integrated to give similar coordination numbers to the experimental |
653 |
< |
data obtained by Soper and Phillips.\cite{Ichiye96,Soper86} New |
654 |
< |
experimental x-ray scattering data from the Head-Gordon lab indicates |
655 |
< |
a slightly lower and shifted first peak in the g$_\mathrm{OO}(r)$, so |
656 |
< |
adjustments to SSD were made while taking into consideration the new |
657 |
< |
experimental findings.\cite{Head-Gordon00_1} Figure \ref{grcompare} |
658 |
< |
shows the relocation of the first peak of the oxygen-oxygen |
659 |
< |
g(\emph{r}) by comparing the original SSD (with and without reaction |
616 |
< |
field), SSD-E, and SSD-RF to the new experimental results. Both the |
617 |
< |
modified water models have shorter peaks that are brought in more |
618 |
< |
closely to the experimental peak (as seen in the insets of figure |
619 |
< |
\ref{grcompare}). This structural alteration was accomplished by a |
620 |
< |
reduction in the Lennard-Jones $\sigma$ variable as well as adjustment |
621 |
< |
of the sticky potential strength and cutoffs. The cutoffs for the |
622 |
< |
tetrahedral attractive and dipolar repulsive terms were nearly swapped |
623 |
< |
with each other. Isosurfaces of the original and modified sticky |
624 |
< |
potentials are shown in figure \cite{isosurface}. In these |
625 |
< |
isosurfaces, it is easy to see how altering the cutoffs changes the |
626 |
< |
repulsive and attractive character of the particles. With a reduced |
627 |
< |
repulsive surface (the darker region), the particles can move closer |
628 |
< |
to one another, increasing the density for the overall system. This |
629 |
< |
change in interaction cutoff also results in a more gradual |
630 |
< |
orientational motion by allowing the particles to maintain preferred |
631 |
< |
dipolar arrangements before they begin to feel the pull of the |
632 |
< |
tetrahedral restructuring. Upon moving closer together, the dipolar |
633 |
< |
repulsion term becomes active and excludes the unphysical |
634 |
< |
arrangements. This compares with the original SSD's excluding dipolar |
635 |
< |
before the particles feel the pull of the ``hydrogen bonds''. Aside |
636 |
< |
from improving the shape of the first peak in the g(\emph{r}), this |
637 |
< |
improves the densities considerably by allowing the persistence of |
638 |
< |
full dipolar character below the previous 4.0 \AA\ cutoff. |

< |
While adjusting the location and shape of the first peak of |
662 |
< |
g(\emph{r}) improves the densities to some degree, these changes alone |
663 |
< |
are insufficient to bring the system densities up to the values |
664 |
< |
observed experimentally. To finish bringing up the densities, the |
665 |
< |
dipole moments were increased in both the adjusted models. Being a |
666 |
< |
dipole based model, the structure and transport are very sensitive to |
667 |
< |
changes in the dipole moment. The original SSD simply used the dipole |
668 |
< |
moment calculated from the TIP3P water model, which at 2.35 D is |
669 |
< |
significantly greater than the experimental gas phase value of 1.84 |
670 |
< |
D. The larger dipole moment is a more realistic value and improve the |
671 |
< |
dielectric properties of the fluid. Both theoretical and experimental |
672 |
< |
measurements indicate a liquid phase dipole moment ranging from 2.4 D |
673 |
< |
to values as high as 3.11 D, so there is quite a range available for |
674 |
< |
adjusting the dipole |
675 |
< |
moment.\cite{Sprik91,Kusalik02,Badyal00,Barriol64} The increasing of |
676 |
< |
the dipole moments to 2.418 and 2.48 D for SSD/E and SSD/RF |
677 |
< |
respectively is moderate in the range of the experimental values; |
678 |
< |
however, it leads to significant changes in the density and transport |
679 |
< |
of the water models. |

In order to demonstrate the benefits of these reparameterizations, a |
717 |
|
series of NPT and NVE simulations were performed to probe the density |
718 |
|
and transport properties of the adapted models and compare the results |
719 |

to the original SSD model. This comparison involved full NPT melting |

sequences for both SSD/E and SSD/RF, as well as NVE transport |

Figure \ref{ssdedense} shows the density profile for the SSD/E water |
747 |
< |
model in comparison to the original SSD without a reaction field, |
748 |
< |
experiment, and the other common water models considered |
749 |
< |
previously. The calculated densities have increased significantly over |
750 |
< |
the original SSD model and match the experimental value just below 298 |
751 |
< |
K. At 298 K, the density of SSD/E is 0.995$\pm$0.001 g/cm$^3$, which |
752 |
< |
compares well with the experimental value of 0.997 g/cm$^3$ and is |
753 |
< |
considerably better than the SSD value of 0.967$\pm$0.003 |
754 |
< |
g/cm$^3$. The increased dipole moment in SSD/E has helped to flatten |
755 |
< |
out the curve at higher temperatures, only the improvement is marginal |
756 |
< |
at best. This steep drop in densities is due to the dipolar rather |
757 |
< |
than charge based interactions which decay more rapidly at longer |
758 |
< |
distances. |
759 |
< |
|
760 |
< |
By monitoring C$\text{p}$ throughout these simulations, the melting |
761 |
< |
transition for SSD/E was observed at 230 K, about 5 degrees lower than |
762 |
< |
SSD. The resulting density maximum is located at 240 K, again about 5 |
763 |
< |
degrees lower than the SSD value of 245 K. Though there is a decrease |
764 |
< |
in both of these values, the corrected densities near room temperature |
765 |
< |
justify the modifications taken. |

significantly over the original SSD model (see |

fig. \ref{dense1}) and are in better agreement with the experimental |

a long-range correction are 0.996$\pm$0.001 g/cm$^3$ and |

0.999$\pm$0.001 g/cm$^3$ respectively. These both compare well with |

the experimental value of 0.997 g/cm$^3$, and they are considerably |
756 |

improved the structuring of the liquid (as seen in figure |

Figure \ref{ssdrfdense} shows a density comparison between SSD/RF and |
785 |
< |
SSD with an active reaction field. Like in the simulations of SSD/E, |
786 |
< |
the densities show a dramatic increase over normal SSD. At 298 K, |
787 |
< |
SSD/RF has a density of 0.997$\pm$0.001 g/cm$^3$, right in line with |
788 |
< |
experiment and considerably better than the SSD value of |
789 |
< |
0.941$\pm$0.001 g/cm$^3$. The melting point is observed at 240 K, |
790 |
< |
which is 5 degrees lower than SSD with a reaction field, and the |
791 |
< |
density maximum at 255 K, again 5 degrees lower than SSD. The density |
792 |
< |
at higher temperature still drops off more rapidly than the charge |

based models but is in better agreement than SSD/E. |

results in a more interesting comparison. A density profile including |

SSD/RF and SSD1 with an active reaction field is shown in figure |

\ref{ssdrfdense}. As observed in the simulations without a reaction |

field, the densities of SSD/RF and SSD1 show a dramatic increase over |

normal SSD (see figure \ref{dense1}). At 298 K, SSD/RF has a density |

The reparameterization of the SSD water model, both for use with and |
819 |
|
without an applied long-range correction, brought the densities up to |
820 |
|
what is expected for simulating liquid water. In addition to improving |
821 |
< |
the densities, it is important that particle transport be maintained |
822 |
< |
or improved. Figure \ref{ssdediffuse} compares the temperature |
823 |
< |
dependence of the diffusion constant of SSD/E to SSD without an active |
824 |
< |
reaction field, both at the densities calculated at 1 atm and at the |
825 |
< |
experimentally calculated densities for super-cooled and liquid |
826 |
< |
water. In the upper plot, the diffusion constant for SSD/E is |
827 |
< |
consistently a little faster than experiment, while SSD starts off |
828 |
< |
slower than experiment and crosses to merge with SSD/E at high |
829 |
< |
temperatures. Both models follow the experimental trend well, but |
830 |
< |
diffuse too rapidly at higher temperatures. This abnormally fast |
831 |
< |
diffusion is caused by the decreased system density. Since the |
832 |
< |
densities of SSD/E don't deviate as much from experiment as those of |
833 |
< |
SSD, it follows the experimental trend more closely. This observation |
834 |
< |
is backed up by looking at the lower plot. The diffusion constants for |
835 |
< |
SSD/E track with the experimental values while SSD deviates on the low |
836 |
< |
side of the trend with increasing temperature. This is again a product |
837 |
< |
of SSD/E having densities closer to experiment, and not deviating to |
838 |
< |
lower densities with increasing temperature as rapidly. |

temperature dependence of the diffusion constant of SSD/E to SSD1 |
824 |

without an active reaction field at the densities calculated from |
825 |

their respective NPT simulations at 1 atm. The diffusion constant for |

SSD/E is consistently higher than experiment, while SSD1 remains lower |

than experiment until relatively high temperatures (around 360 |
828 |

829 |
> |
300~K but tend to diffuse too rapidly at higher temperatures, as seen |
830 |
> |
in SSD1's crossing above 360~K. This increasing diffusion relative to |
831 |

the experimental values is caused by the rapidly decreasing system |
832 |

density with increasing temperature. Both SSD1 and SSD/E show this |

In figure \ref{ssdrfdiffuse}, the diffusion constants for SSD/RF are |
861 |
< |
compared with SSD with an active reaction field. In the upper plot, |
862 |
< |
SSD/RF tracks with the experimental results incredibly well, identical |
863 |
< |
within error throughout the temperature range and only showing a |
864 |
< |
slight increasing trend at higher temperatures. SSD also tracks |
865 |
< |
experiment well, only it tends to diffuse a little more slowly at low |
866 |
< |
temperatures and deviates to diffuse too rapidly at high |
867 |
< |
temperatures. As was stated in the SSD/E comparisons, this deviation |
868 |
< |
away from the ideal trend is due to a rapid decrease in density at |
869 |
< |
higher temperatures. SSD/RF doesn't suffer from this problem as much |
870 |
< |
as SSD, because the calculated densities are more true to |
871 |
< |
experiment. This is again emphasized in the lower plot, where SSD/RF |
783 |
< |
tracks the experimental diffusion exactly while SSD's diffusion |
784 |
< |
constants are slightly too low due to its need for a lower density at |
785 |

the specified temperature. |

Table \ref{liquidproperties} gives a synopsis of the liquid state |
904 |
+ |
properties of the water models compared in this study along with the |
905 |
+ |
experimental values for liquid water at ambient conditions. The |
906 |
+ |
coordination number ($n_C$) and number of hydrogen bonds per particle |
907 |
+ |
($n_H$) were calculated by integrating the following relations: |
908 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
909 |
+ |
n_C = 4\pi\rho_{\text{OO}}\int_{0}^{a}r^2\text{g}_{\text{OO}}(r)dr, |
910 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
911 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
912 |
+ |
n_H = 4\pi\rho_{\text{OH}}\int_{0}^{b}r^2\text{g}_{\text{OH}}(r)dr, |
913 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
914 |
+ |
where $\rho$ is the number density of the specified pair interactions, |
915 |
+ |
$a$ and $b$ are the radial locations of the minima following the first |
916 |
+ |
peak in g$_\text{OO}(r)$ or g$_\text{OH}(r)$ respectively. The number |
917 |
+ |
of hydrogen bonds stays relatively constant across all of the models, |
918 |
+ |
but the coordination numbers of SSD/E and SSD/RF show an |
919 |
+ |
improvement over SSD1. This improvement is primarily due to |
920 |
+ |
extension of the first solvation shell in the new parameter sets. |
921 |
+ |
Because $n_H$ and $n_C$ are nearly identical in SSD1, it appears |
922 |
+ |
that all molecules in the first solvation shell are involved in |
923 |
+ |
hydrogen bonds. Since $n_H$ and $n_C$ differ in the newly |
924 |
+ |
parameterized models, the orientations in the first solvation shell |
925 |
+ |
are a bit more ``fluid''. Therefore SSD1 overstructures the |
926 |
+ |
first solvation shell and our reparameterizations have returned this |
927 |
+ |
shell to more realistic liquid-like behavior. |
928 |
+ |
|
929 |
+ |
The time constants for the orientational autocorrelation functions |
930 |
+ |
are also displayed in Table \ref{liquidproperties}. The dipolar |
931 |
+ |
orientational time correlation functions ($C_{l}$) are described |
932 |
+ |
by: |
933 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
934 |
+ |
C_{l}(t) = \langle P_l[\hat{\mathbf{u}}_j(0)\cdot\hat{\mathbf{u}}_j(t)]\rangle, |
935 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
936 |
+ |
where $P_l$ are Legendre polynomials of order $l$ and |
937 |
+ |
$\hat{\mathbf{u}}_j$ is the unit vector pointing along the molecular |
938 |
+ |
dipole.\cite{Rahman71} From these correlation functions, the |
939 |
+ |
orientational relaxation time of the dipole vector can be calculated |
940 |
+ |
from an exponential fit in the long-time regime ($t > |
941 |
+ |
\tau_l$).\cite{Rothschild84} Calculation of these time constants were |
942 |
+ |
averaged over five detailed NVE simulations performed at the ambient |
943 |
+ |
conditions for each of the respective models. It should be noted that |
944 |
+ |
the commonly cited value of 1.9 ps for $\tau_2$ was determined from |
945 |
+ |
the NMR data in Ref. \onlinecite{Krynicki66} at a temperature near |
946 |
+ |
34$^\circ$C.\cite{Rahman71} Because of the strong temperature |
947 |
+ |
dependence of $\tau_2$, it is necessary to recalculate it at 298~K to |
948 |
+ |
make proper comparisons. The value shown in Table |
949 |
+ |
\ref{liquidproperties} was calculated from the same NMR data in the |
950 |
+ |
fashion described in Ref. \onlinecite{Krynicki66}. Similarly, $\tau_1$ was |
951 |
+ |
recomputed for 298~K from the data in Ref. \onlinecite{Eisenberg69}. |
952 |
+ |
Again, SSD/E and SSD/RF show improved behavior over SSD1, both with |
953 |
+ |
and without an active reaction field. Turning on the reaction field |
954 |
+ |
leads to much improved time constants for SSD1; however, these results |
955 |
+ |
also include a corresponding decrease in system density. |
956 |
+ |
Orientational relaxation times published in the original SSD dynamics |
957 |
+ |
papers are smaller than the values observed here, and this difference |
958 |
+ |
can be attributed to the use of the Ewald sum.\cite{Ichiye99} |

\subsection{Additional Observations} |
961 |
|
|
962 |
< |
While performing the melting sequences of SSD/E, some interesting |
963 |
< |
observations were made. After melting at 230 K, two of the systems |
964 |
< |
underwent crystallization events near 245 K. As the heating process |
965 |
< |
continued, the two systems remained crystalline until finally melting |
966 |
< |
between 320 and 330 K. These simulations were excluded from the data |
967 |
< |
set shown in figure \ref{ssdedense} and replaced with two additional |
968 |
< |
melting sequences that did not undergo this anomalous phase |
969 |
< |
transition, while this crystallization event was investigated |
970 |
< |
separately. |

|
|
974 |
+ |
While performing a series of melting simulations on an early iteration |
975 |
+ |
of SSD/E not discussed in this paper, we observed |
976 |
+ |
recrystallization into a novel structure not previously known for |
977 |
+ |
water. After melting at 235~K, two of five systems underwent |
978 |
+ |
crystallization events near 245~K. The two systems remained |
979 |
+ |
crystalline up to 320 and 330~K, respectively. The crystal exhibits |
980 |
+ |
an expanded zeolite-like structure that does not correspond to any |
981 |
+ |
known form of ice. This appears to be an artifact of the point |
982 |
+ |
dipolar models, so to distinguish it from the experimentally observed |
983 |
+ |
forms of ice, we have denoted the structure |
984 |
+ |
Ice-$\sqrt{\smash[b]{-\text{I}}}$ (Ice-{\it i}). A large enough |
985 |
+ |
portion of the sample crystallized that we have been able to obtain a |
986 |
+ |
near ideal crystal structure of Ice-{\it i}. Figure \ref{weirdice} |
987 |
+ |
shows the repeating crystal structure of a typical crystal at 5 |
988 |
+ |
K. Each water molecule is hydrogen bonded to four others; however, the |
989 |
+ |
hydrogen bonds are bent rather than perfectly straight. This results |
990 |
+ |
in a skewed tetrahedral geometry about the central molecule. In |
991 |
+ |
figure \ref{isosurface}, it is apparent that these flexed hydrogen |
992 |
+ |
bonds are allowed due to the conical shape of the attractive regions, |
993 |
+ |
with the greatest attraction along the direct hydrogen bond |
994 |
+ |
configuration. Though not ideal, these flexed hydrogen bonds are |
995 |
+ |
favorable enough to stabilize an entire crystal generated around them. |
996 |
+ |
|
997 |
+ |
Initial simulations indicated that Ice-{\it i} is the preferred ice |
998 |
+ |
structure for at least the SSD/E model. To verify this, a comparison |
999 |
+ |
was made between near ideal crystals of ice~$I_h$, ice~$I_c$, and |
1000 |
+ |
Ice-{\it i} at constant pressure with SSD/E, SSD/RF, and |
1001 |
+ |
SSD1. Near-ideal versions of the three types of crystals were cooled |
1002 |
+ |
to 1 K, and enthalpies of formation of each were compared using all |
1003 |
+ |
three water models. Enthalpies were estimated from the |
1004 |
+ |
isobaric-isothermal simulations using $H=U+P_{\text ext}V$ where |
1005 |
+ |
$P_{\text ext}$ is the applied pressure. A constant value of -60.158 |
1006 |
+ |
kcal / mol has been added to place our zero for the enthalpies of |
1007 |
+ |
formation for these systems at the traditional state (elemental forms |
1008 |
+ |
at standard temperature and pressure). With every model in the SSD |
1009 |
+ |
family, Ice-{\it i} had the lowest calculated enthalpy of formation. |

In addition to these energetic comparisons, melting simulations were |
1030 |

performed with Ice-{\it i} as the initial configuration using SSD/E, |
1031 |
+ |
SSD/RF, and SSD1 both with and without a reaction field. The melting |
1032 |
+ |
transitions for both SSD/E and SSD1 without reaction field occurred at |
1033 |
+ |
temperature in excess of 375~K. SSD/RF and SSD1 with a reaction field |
1034 |
+ |
showed more reasonable melting transitions near 325~K. These melting |
1035 |
+ |
point observations clearly show that all of the SSD-derived models |
1036 |
+ |
prefer the ice-{\it i} structure. |

\section{Conclusions} |
1039 |
+ |
|
1040 |
+ |
The density maximum and temperature dependence of the self-diffusion |
1041 |
+ |
constant were studied for the SSD water model, both with and |
1042 |
+ |
without the use of reaction field, via a series of NPT and NVE |
1043 |
+ |
simulations. The constant pressure simulations showed a density |
1044 |
+ |
maximum near 260 K. In most cases, the calculated densities were |
1045 |
+ |
significantly lower than the densities obtained from other water |
1046 |
+ |
models (and experiment). Analysis of self-diffusion showed SSD |
1047 |
+ |
to capture the transport properties of water well in both the liquid |
1048 |
+ |
and supercooled liquid regimes. |
1049 |
+ |
|
1050 |
+ |
In order to correct the density behavior, the original SSD model was |
1051 |
+ |
reparameterized for use both with and without a reaction field (SSD/RF |
1052 |
+ |
and SSD/E), and comparisons were made with SSD1, Ichiye's density |
1053 |
+ |
corrected version of SSD. Both models improve the liquid structure, |
1054 |
+ |
densities, and diffusive properties under their respective simulation |
1055 |
+ |
conditions, indicating the necessity of reparameterization when |
1056 |
+ |
changing the method of calculating long-range electrostatic |
1057 |
+ |
interactions. In general, however, these simple water models are |
1058 |
+ |
excellent choices for representing explicit water in large scale |
1059 |
+ |
simulations of biochemical systems. |
1060 |
+ |
|
1061 |
+ |
The existence of a novel low-density ice structure that is preferred |
1062 |
+ |
by the SSD family of water models is somewhat troubling, since |
1063 |
+ |
liquid simulations on this family of water models at room temperature |
1064 |
+ |
are effectively simulations of supercooled or metastable liquids. One |
1065 |
+ |
way to destabilize this unphysical ice structure would be to make the |
1066 |
+ |
range of angles preferred by the attractive part of the sticky |
1067 |
+ |
potential much narrower. This would require extensive |
1068 |
+ |
reparameterization to maintain the same level of agreement with the |
1069 |
+ |
experiments. |
1070 |
+ |
|
1071 |
+ |
Additionally, our initial calculations show that the Ice-{\it i} |
1072 |
+ |
structure may also be a preferred crystal structure for at least one |
1073 |
+ |
other popular multi-point water model (TIP3P), and that much of the |
1074 |
+ |
simulation work being done using this popular model could also be at |
1075 |
+ |
risk for crystallization into this unphysical structure. A future |
1076 |
+ |
publication will detail the relative stability of the known ice |
1077 |
+ |
structures for a wide range of popular water models. |

reparameterization when utilizing a reaction field long-ranged |

correction - SSD/RF provides significantly more accurate |

1158 |
+ |
performed at the average densities observed in the 1 atm NPT |
1159 |
+ |
simulations for the respective models. SSD/E is slightly more mobile |
1160 |

than experiment at all of the temperatures, but it is closer to |
1161 |
+ |
experiment at biologically relevant temperatures than SSD1 without a |
1162 |

long-range correction. |

\item The diffusion constants calculated from SSD/RF and |

SSD1 (both with an active reaction field) along with |
1166 |

experimental results [Refs. \onlinecite{Gillen72} and \onlinecite{Holz00}]. The |
1167 |
+ |
NVE calculations were performed at the average densities observed in |
1168 |
+ |
the 1 atm NPT simulations for both of the models. SSD/RF |
1169 |
+ |
simulates the diffusion of water throughout this temperature range |
1170 |

very well. The rapidly increasing diffusion constants at high |
1171 |

densities than those observed in experiment. |

The final configurations of these two melting sequences shows an |
806 |
< |
expanded zeolite-like crystal structure that does not correspond to |
807 |
< |
any known form of ice. For convenience and to help distinguish it from |
808 |
< |
the experimentally observed forms of ice, this crystal structure will |
809 |
< |
henceforth be referred to as ice-zero (ice 0). The crystallinity was |
810 |
< |
extensive enough than a near ideal crystal structure could be |
811 |
< |
obtained. Figure \ref{weirdice} shows the repeating crystal structure |
812 |
< |
of a typical crystal at 5 K. The unit cell contains eight molecules, |
813 |
< |
and figure \ref{unitcell} shows a unit cell built from the water |
814 |
< |
particle center of masses that can be used to construct a repeating |
815 |
< |
lattice, similar to figure \ref{weirdice}. Each molecule is hydrogen |
816 |
< |
bonded to four other water molecules; however, the hydrogen bonds are |
817 |
< |
flexed rather than perfectly straight. This results in a skewed |
818 |
< |
tetrahedral geometry about the central molecule. Looking back at |
819 |
< |
figure \ref{isosurface}, it is easy to see how these flexed hydrogen |
820 |
< |
bonds are allowed in that the attractive regions are conical in shape, |
821 |
< |
with the greatest attraction in the central region. Though not ideal, |
822 |
< |
these flexed hydrogen bonds are favorable enough to stabilize an |
823 |
< |
entire crystal generated around them. In fact, the imperfect ice 0 |
824 |
< |
crystals were so stable that they melted at greater than room |
825 |
< |
temperature. |

The initial simulations indicated that ice 0 is the preferred ice |
835 |
< |
structure for at least SSD/E. To verify this, a comparison was made |
836 |
< |
between near ideal crystals of ice $I_h$, ice $I_c$, and ice 0 at |
837 |
< |
constant pressure with SSD/E, SSD/RF, and SSD. Near ideal versions of |
838 |
< |
the three types of crystals were cooled to ~1 K, and the potential |
839 |
< |
energies of each were compared using all three water models. With |
840 |
< |
every water model, ice 0 turned out to have the lowest potential |
841 |
< |
energy: 5\% lower than $I_h$ with SSD, 6.5\% lower with SSD/E, and |
842 |
< |
7.5\% lower with SSD/RF. In all three of these water models, ice $I_c$ |
843 |
< |
was observed to be ~2\% less stable than ice $I_h$. In addition to |
844 |
< |
having the lowest potential energy, ice 0 was the most expanded of the |
845 |
< |
three ice crystals, ~5\% less dense than ice $I_h$ with all of the |
846 |
< |
water models. In all three water models, ice $I_c$ was observed to be |
847 |
< |
~2\% more dense than ice $I_h$. |

In addition to the low temperature comparisons, melting sequences were |
1214 |
< |
performed with ice 0 as the initial configuration using SSD/E, SSD/RF, |
1215 |
< |
and SSD both with and without a reaction field. The melting |
1216 |
< |
transitions for both SSD/E and SSD without a reaction field occurred |
1217 |
< |
at temperature in excess of 375 K. SSD/RF and SSD with a reaction |
1218 |
< |
field had more reasonable melting transitions, down near 325 K. These |
1219 |
< |
melting point observations emphasize how preferred this crystal |
1220 |
< |
structure is over the most common types of ice when using these single |
1221 |
< |
point water models. |

Recognizing that the above tests show ice 0 to be both the most stable |
860 |
< |
and lowest density crystal structure for these single point water |
861 |
< |
models, it is interesting to speculate on the favorability of this |
862 |
< |
crystal structure with the different charge based models. As a quick |
863 |
< |
test, these 3 crystal types were converted from SSD type particles to |
864 |
< |
TIP3P waters and read into CHARMM.\cite{Karplus83} Identical energy |
865 |
< |
minimizations were performed on all of these crystals to compare the |
866 |
< |
system energies. Again, ice 0 was observed to have the lowest total |
867 |
< |
system energy. The total energy of ice 0 was ~2\% lower than ice |
868 |
< |
$I_h$, which was in turn ~3\% lower than ice $I_c$. From these initial |
869 |
< |
results, we would not be surprised if results from the other common |
870 |
< |
water models show ice 0 to be the lowest energy crystal structure. A |
871 |
< |
continuation on work studing ice 0 with multipoint water models will |
872 |
< |
be published in a coming article. |

\section{Conclusions} |
1231 |
< |
The density maximum and temperature dependent transport for the SSD |
1232 |
< |
water model, both with and without the use of reaction field, were |
1233 |
< |
studied via a series of NPT and NVE simulations. The constant pressure |
1234 |
< |
simulations of the melting of both $I_h$ and $I_c$ ice showed a |
1235 |
< |
density maximum near 260 K. In most cases, the calculated densities |
1236 |
< |
were significantly lower than the densities calculated in simulations |
1237 |
< |
of other water models. Analysis of particle diffusion showed SSD to |
882 |
< |
capture the transport properties of experimental very well in both the |
883 |
< |
normal and super-cooled liquid regimes. In order to correct the |
884 |
< |
density behavior, SSD was reparameterized for use both with and |
885 |
< |
without a long-range interaction correction, SSD/RF and SSD/E |
886 |
< |
respectively. In addition to correcting the abnormally low densities, |
887 |
< |
these new versions were show to maintain or improve upon the transport |
888 |
< |
and structural features of the original water model, all while |
889 |
< |
maintaining the fast performance of the SSD water model. This work |
890 |
< |
shows these simple water models, and in particular SSD/E and SSD/RF, |
891 |
< |
to be excellent choices to represent explicit water in future |
892 |
< |
simulations of biochemical systems. |
