Nuclear quantum effects on the thermodynamic, structural, and dynamical properties of water.
2021
We perform path-integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulations of H2O and D2O using the q-TIP4P/F model. Simulations are performed at P = 1 bar and over a wide range of temperatures that include the equilibrium (T≥ 273 K) and supercooled (210 ≤T 1 bar and that such a LLCP generates a maximum in CP(T) and κT(T) at 1 bar. Consistent with this hypothesis and in particular, with experiments, we find a maximum in the κT(T) of q-TIP4P/F light and heavy water at T≈ 230-235 K. No maximum in CP(T) could be detected down to T≥ 210 K. We also calculate the diffusion coefficient D(T) of H2O and D2O using the ring-polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) technique and find that computer simulations are in remarkable good agreement with experiments at all temperatures studied. The results from RPMD/PIMD simulations are also compared with the corresponding results obtained from classical MD simulations of q-TIP4P/F water where atoms are represented by single interacting sites. Surprisingly, we find minor differences in most of the properties studied, with CP(T), D(T), and structural properties being the only (expected) exceptions.
