  • Proton Ordering and Reactivity of Ice
    1 Proton ordering and reactivity of ice Zamaan Raza Department of Chemistry University College London Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2012 2 I, Zamaan Raza, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 For Chryselle, without whom I would never have made it this far. 4 I would like to thank my supervisors, Dr Ben Slater and Prof Angelos Michaelides for their patient guidance and help, particularly in light of the fact that I was woefully unprepared when I started. I would also like to express my gratitude to Dr Florian Schiffmann for his indispens- able advice on CP2K and quantum chemistry, Dr Alexei Sokol for various discussions on quantum mechanics, Dr Dario Alfé for his incredibly expensive DMC calculations, Drs Jiri Klimeš and Erlend Davidson for advice on VASP, Matt Watkins for help with CP2K, Christoph Salzmann for discussions on ice, Dr Stefan Bromley for allowing me to work with him in Barcelona and Drs Aron Walsh, Stephen Shevlin, Matthew Farrow and David Scanlon for general help, advice and tolerance. Thanks and also apologies to Stephen Cox, with whom I have collaborated, but have been unable to contribute as much as I should have. Doing a PhD is an isolating experience (more so in the Kathleen Lonsdale building), so I would like to thank my fellow students and friends for making it tolerable: Richard, Tiffany, and Chryselle. Finally, I would like to acknowledge UCL for my funding via a DTA and computing time on Legion, the Materials Chemistry Consortium (MCC) for computing time on HECToR and HPC-Europa2 for the opportunity to work in Barcelona.

    Phase equilibrium of liquid water and hexagonal ice from enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations Pablo M. Piaggi1 and Roberto Car2 1)Department of Chemistry, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA a) 2)Department of Chemistry and Department of Physics, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA (Dated: 13 May 2020) We study the phase equilibrium between liquid water and ice Ih modeled by the TIP4P/Ice interatomic potential using enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations. Our approach is based on the calculation of ice Ih-liquid free energy differences from simulations that visit reversibly both phases. The reversible interconversion is achieved by introducing a static bias potential as a function of an order parameter. The order parameter was tailored to crystallize the hexagonal diamond structure of oxygen in ice Ih. We analyze the effect of the system size on the ice Ih-liquid free energy differences and we obtain a melting temperature of 270 K in the thermodynamic limit. This result is in agreement with estimates from thermodynamic integration (272 K) and coexistence simulations (270 K). Since the order parameter does not include information about the coordinates of the protons, the spontaneously formed solid configurations contain proton disorder as expected for ice Ih. I. INTRODUCTION ture forms in an orientation compatible with the simulation box9. The study of phase equilibria using computer simulations is of central importance to understand the behavior of a given model. However, finding the thermodynamic condition at II. CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF ICE Ih which two or more phases coexist is particularly hard in the presence of first order phase transitions.

Architectural transformations on the Market Square in Krakow A systematic visual catalogue Jean-Yves BLAISE Iwona DUDEK Different faces of one ‘idea’ Section three, presents a selection of analogous examples (European public use and commercial buildings) so as to help the reader weigh to which extent the layout of Krakow’s marketplace, as well as its architectures, can be related to other sites. Market Square in Krakow is paradoxically at the same time a typical example of medieval marketplace and a unique site. But the frontline between what is common and what is unique can be seen as “somewhat fuzzy”. Among these examples readers should observe a number of unexpected similarities, as well as sharp contrasts in terms of form, usage and layout of buildings.

    Let’s Crank Some Ice Cream! The history of ice harvesting, the ice industry, refrigeration, and making ice cream Kathi Elkins 7-29-19 OLLI: Summer 2019 Ice Storage and Ice Houses: 1780 BC --- ice house in northern Mesopotamian 1100 BC --- evidence of ice pits in China By 400 BC --- Persian engineers had mastered techniques of constructing yakhchāl to store ice harvested from nearby mountains. 300 BC --- Alexander the Great (snow pits to hold snow and ice) 200s AD --- Romans (snow shops) Cold springs, root cellars Ice Houses: Yakhchāl (this one at Yazd, Iran) is a Persian ice pit or a type of evaporative cooler. Above ground, the structure had a domed shape, but had a subterranean storage space. It was often used to store ice and food. The subterranean space coupled with the thick heat-resistant construction material insulated the storage space all year. Ice Houses: Ice houses in England/UK. Ice Houses: Croome's thatched ice house, Worcestershire, UK Ice Houses: Botany Bay Icehouse, Edisto Island, SC Ice Houses: Ice house designs usually began as an underground egg-shaped cellar. This ice house, dating from 1780s and designed by architect John Nash, was discovered in 2018 buried under London streets. In 1822, following a very mild winter, William Leftwich chartered a vessel to Norway to collect 300 tons of ice harvested from crystal-clear frozen lakes. Previous imports had been lost at sea, or melted while baffled customs officials dithered over how to tax such unique cargo. John Nash designed the Royal Pavilion at Brighton, as well as Buckingham Palace.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.
