    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.

  • Evasive Ice X and Heavy Fermion Ice XII: Facts and Fiction About High
    Physica B 265 (1999) 113—120 Evasive ice X and heavy fermion ice XII: facts and fiction about high-pressure ices W.B. Holzapfel* Fachbereich Physik, Universita( t-GH Paderborn, D-33095 Paderborn, Germany Abstract Recent theoretical and experimental results on the structure and dynamics of ice in wide regions of pressure and temperature are compared with earlier models and predictions to illustrate the evasive nature of ice X, which was originally introduced as completely ordered form of ice with short single centred hydrogen bonds isostructural CuO. Due to the lack of experimental information on the proton ordering in the pressure and temperature region for the possible occurrence of ice X, effects of thermal and quantum delocalization are discussed with respect to the shape of the phase diagram and other structural models consistent with present optical and X-ray data for this region. Theoretical evidences for an additional orthorhombic modification (ice XI) at higher pressures are confronted with various reasons supporting a delocalization of the protons in the form of a heavy fermion system with very unique physical properties characterizing this fictitious new phase of ice XII.

  • Anomalous Pressure-Induced Transition(S) in Ice XI

Wentzcovitch,1,2 Stefano Baroni,1 and Stefano de Gironcoli1 1SISSA–Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati and INFM-DEMOCRITOS National Simulation Center, I-34014 Trieste, Italy 2Department of Chemical Engineering and Material Science and Minnesota Supercomputer Institute for Digital Simulation and Advanced Computation, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455, USA (Received 23 May 2003; published 12 March 2004) The effects of pressure on the structure of ice XI — an ordered form of the phase of ice Ih, which is known to amorphize under pressure — are investigated theoretically using density-functional theory. We find that pressure induces a mechanical instability, which is initiated by the softening of an acoustic phonon occurring at an incommensurate wavelength, followed by the collapse of the entire acoustic band and by the violation of the Born stability criteria. It is argued that phonon collapse may be a quite general feature of pressure-induced amorphization. The implications of our findings for the amorph- ization of ice Ih are also discussed. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.92.105502 PACS numbers: 63.20.Dj, 64.70.Rh, 83.80.Nb Ice Ih is the first system which was observed to effects of hydrogen disorder, and draw a parallel between amorphize under pressure [1].

    Article Performance Analysis of Ice-Relative Upward-Looking Doppler Navigation of Underwater Vehicles Beneath Moving Sea Ice Laughlin D. L. Barker 1,2 and Louis L. Whitcomb 1,* 1 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Marine Operations, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Moss Landing, CA 95039, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of ice-relative underwater robotic vehicle navigation relative to moving or stationary contiguous sea ice. A review of previously-reported under-ice navigation methods is given, as well as motivation for the use of under-ice robotic vehicles with precision navigation capabilities. We then describe our proposed approach, which employs two or more satellite navigation beacons atop the sea ice along with other precision vehicle and ship mounted navigation sensors to estimate vehicle, ice, and ship states by means of an Extended Kalman Filter. A performances sensitivity analysis for a simulated 7.7 km under ice survey is reported. The number and the location of ice deployed satellite beacons, rotational and translational ice velocity, and separation of ship-based acoustic range sensors are varied, and their effects on estimate error Citation: Barker, L.D.L.; Whitcomb, and uncertainty are examined. Results suggest that increasing the number and/or separation of L.L.

  • Structural and Dynamical Properties of Inclusion Complexes Compounds and the Solvents from Rst-Principles Investigations
    Structural and dynamical properties of inclusion complexes compounds and the solvents from ¯rst-principles investigations Von der FakultÄat furÄ Naturwissenschaften der UniversitÄat Duisburg-Essen (Standort Duisburg) zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer.nat.) genehmigte Dissertation von Waheed Adeniyi Adeagbo aus Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria Referent: Prof. Dr. P. Entel Korreferent: PD. Dr. A. BaumgÄartner Tag der mundlicÄ hen Prufung:Ä 20 April 2004 3 Abstract In this work, a series of ab-initio calculations based on density functional theory is presen- ted. We investigated the properties of water and the inclusion complexes of cyclodextrins with various guest compounds such as phenol, aspirin, pinacyanol chloride dye and bi- naphtyl molecules in the environment of water as solvent. Our investigation of water includes the cluster units of water, the bulk properties of the li- quid water and the crystalline ice structure. Some equilibrium structures of water clusters were prepared and their binding energies were calculated with the self-consistency den- sity functional tight binding (SCC-DFTB) method. The global minimum water clusters of TIP4P classical modelled potential were also calculated using the DFTB method and Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP). All results show a non-linear behaviour of the binding energy per water molecule against water cluster size with some anomalies found for the lower clusters between 4 and 8 molecules. We also calculated the melting temperatures of these water clusters having solid-like behaviour by heating. Though, the melting region of the heated structures is not well de¯ned as a result of the pronoun- ced uctuations of the bonding network of the system giving rise to uctuations in the observed properties, but nevertheless the range where the breakdown occurs was de¯- ned as the melting temperature of the clusters.

  • Electrostatics of Proton Arrangements in Ice Ic
    ELSEVIER Physica B 240 (1997) 263-272 Electrostatics of proton arrangements in ice Ic J. Lekner* Department of Physics, Victoria University of Wellington, P.O. Box 600, Wellington, New Zealand Received 17 February 1997 Abstract Possible proton configurations in cubic ice lc are explored. In a unit cell of eight water molecules there are 90 possible arrangements of the protons, but degeneracy of the Coulomb energy reduces these to four different classes, of which the antiferroelectric structure has the lowest energy, and the fully ferroelectric structure the highest energy. The energy differences per water molecule are in the meV range. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the dipole moment of the unit cell and the electrostatic energy. The energy increments from the antiferroelectric configuration are proportional to the square of the dipole moment. In the 8-molecule cell there are four dipole types. In a cell with 16 oxygens and 32 hydrogens there are 15 dipole types. In both, the degeneracies of the weakly ferroelectric states are high. Keywords. Ice; Proton order; Electrostatics 1. Introduction Cubic ice Ic and hexagonal ice Ih are both tetrahedrally hydrogen-bonded, with very similar densities and other physical properties [1,2]. In both, the protons are disordered, each hydrogen nucleus being placed at about 1 A from the nearer oxygen nucleus along the line joining two neighbouring oxygens. Pauling [3] proposed the proton disorder to explain the low-temperature entropy of ice. The agreement between experiment and theoretical entropy calculations based on completely random proton positions is excellent [ 1,2]. However, ice Ih doped with KOH has been found to undergo a first-order transition to a ferroelectrically ordered phase of ice, named ice XI, at 72 K [4-6].
