Chapter IV Results and Discussions
B. Angular velocity autocorrelation function
Shown in Fig. 6 are the AVAFs along the x-, y-, and z-axis calculated by MD simulations. At the short-time scale, the AVAF along the y-axis decays faster than those along the x- and z-axis. Less attenuation is found in the AVAF along the z-axis and the AVAFs along the x- and z-axis are quite similar.
We also use the VP analysis in eq. (III.2) to discuss the AVAFs. In Figs. 8(a), 8(b), and 8(c), the simulated results of the AVAFs along x-, y-, and z-axis for the four VGs are shown. It is found that at the short-time scale, the AVAF becomes faster decaying with increasing the asphericity. This is consistent with the blue shift in the INM rotational DOSs for different VGs.
C. Short-time behavior of
Cμ(1)(
t) and
Cμ(2)(
t)
In this section, we focus on the short-time behaviors of the first and the second order orientational correlation functions (Cμ(l)
(
t)
, l = 1 or 2,μ
= x, y, or z) for t smaller than 0.2ps. For these OCFs under the second cumulant approximation given in eq. (II.8),ψ
(t) can be calculated by three different ways. Two of these are calculated by the total INM DOS and the real-frequency INM DOS; the other is by the power spectrum of the AVAF.Figs. 9(a), 9(b), and 9(c) show the Dμeff
( ω )
kbT , with μ = x, y, z, of the AVAF power spectrum and those of the stable INMs for the four VGs. The shape and the area for the D kbTeff
( ω )
μ spectrum of the z-axis are found to be similar to those for
the spectrum of the x-axis and are larger than those for the spectrum of the y-axis. In Fig. 4, Fig. 5, the DOS of the x-axis is similar to that of the z-axis. Dμeff
( ω )
is a combination of the DOSs of the others two axes divided by the corresponding moment of inertia. This is the reason why the shapes ofD
effX (ω

andT k
D
Zeff(ω

is the smallest. In addition tothe spectrum shape and area, D kbT eff
( ω )
μ is 0 at ω = 0, but the power spectrum of AVAF is not. Also, as the asphericity of the VG increases, the value of D kbT

at ω = 0 is decreased. This difference in the spectrum values at ω = 0 makes the OCF

Cμl calculated by the real-frequency INM and the power spectrum of AVAF different.
In Figs. 10 and 11, the three fitting lines in the short-time scale (within about 20 fs) can exactly fit the MD simulation results. Among these fittings, the best one for the longest time is the Cμ(l)
(
t)
calculated by the power spectrum of AVAF, because the AVAF is calculated by the MD simulation andD
η(ω
) in eq. (II.12) is obtained from the power spectrum of Ωη(t) by the inverse Fourier cosine transformation. For this reason, the Cμ(l)(
t)
calculated by the power spectrum of AVAF has the longestaccurate fitting time than other. The Cμ(l)
(
t)
calculated by the total INM DOS provides an accurate estimation within t < 20 fs, but fails at longer times. Eq. (II.15) point out that the total INM DOS is larger than that of the real-frequency INMs such that Dμeff( ω )
in eq. (II.8) will decay faster, and the Cμ(l)(
t)
calculated by the real-frequency INMs decays slowly than the results of MD simulation. On the other hand, comparing the results of the x-, y-, and z-axis, we can see the four lines ofy-axis decay slowly than others, and the z-axis is fastest. Because the area of
T
k
D
Yeff(ω
) b is small than others, in eq. (II.8), (II.8-2), and (II.12), tell us when thearea of Dμeff
( ω )
increase, the decay speed of Cμ(l)(
t)
will increase too.As t < 0.2ps, both the Cμ(l)
(
t)
of the real-frequency INMs and the power spectrum of AVAF have good predictions, but after t = 0.2ps, they have different behaviors. We have discussed previously that the D kbTeff
( ω )
μ at ω = 0 for the real-frequency INMs and the power spectrum of AVAF are distinct. Because, when t > 0, Dμeff
( 0 )
will be more important influence on Cμ(l)
(
t)
, so as time increase, the Cμ(l)(
t)
of the power spectrum of AVAF will decay faster than the real-frequency INMs. Besides, comparing Cμ(1)(
t)
and Cμ(2)(
t)
, the real-frequency INMs have a better qualitatively correct behavior than the power spectrum of AVAF in Cμ(2)(
t)
, but when t < 35fs, thepower spectrum of AVAF have longer accurate fitting time either Cμ(1)
(
t)
or Cμ(2)(
t)
. By VP analysis, in Figs. 12(a), (b), (c) and Figs. 13(a), (b), (c), we can observe that as VGξ
increases, the number of bumps increases. This is very reasonable, because we know that asξ
increases, the average value of H-bond length decreases. The H-bond will restrict water molecular motions, like inside a cage. When the H-bond length decreases, the restricting force will be stronger and make the rebound in molecular motion occur. So, the bumps come from the reversion or palliation of rotational motion in water molecule. That is the reason why the bumps increase withξ
increase. From VP analysis, there is another appearance. Whenξ
increasing, the accurate fitting time will be extended in the Cμ(l)(
t)
of the real-frequency INMs and the power spectrum of AVAF. This may reveal that the numbers of H-bond affect theaccuracy of prediction by the real-frequency INMs.
From the above discussions, we find that the short-time behavior of Cμξ(l)
(
t)
is a Gaussian decay within t < 20fs and, even for different VGs, can be accurately fit by the three kinds of method. When t > 0.2ps, these methods do not provide correct predictions. Therefore, we have to use another theory to describe their behaviors at the long-time scales.D. Long-time behavior of
Cμ(1)(
t) and
Cμ(2)(
t)
In the previous section, we use the total, real-frequency INMs and the power spectrum of AVAF to fit the short-time behavior of the OCF. But, for the long-time scales, these methods do not provide correct predictions. By eq. (II.18), the long-time behavior of Cμ(l)
(
t)
is expected to be a single-exponential decay. Thus, we change to fitting parameters for different rotational axes and VGs in Table III and Table IV. The linear fitting function fμ(l)(
t)
for theμ
-th principal axis and for VGξ
are written,where aμ(l) is a constant,
τ
D(lμ) is the rotational-diffusion decay time, l is the index for the l-th order Legendre polynomial, andD is the rotational diffusion coefficient for
μ theμ
-th principal axis.In Fig. 14 and Fig. 15,
ln
Cμ(l)(
t)
is well fit by the linear function fμ(l)(
t)
so that the long-time behavior ofln
Cμ(l)(
t)
is linear in time for each axis. For fμ(2)(
t)
, although theτ
D(lμ) values of the three axis are different but the three lines are veryclose to parallel. For fμ(1)
(
t)
, the y-axis decays faster than the x-axis instead of parallel to each other.By VP analysis, in Figs. 16(a), (b), (c) and Figs. 17(a), (b), (c), the

and) (l Dμξ
τ
are not related and, thus, these lines are almost parallel. According to theseresults, the long-time behavior of Cμξ(l)
(
t)
calculated by MD simulation is an exponential decay. At the short-time scales, we know the bumps of water molecule motion increase when VGξ
increases. These bumps will decrease the decay speed.Therefore, in the long-time scale, the sequence of the Cμξ(l)
(
t)
from MD simulation in different VGξ
is reasonable. Moreover, these nearly parallel lines show that the decay rates in long-time scale are independent of their VGs.In this section, we have already discussed the long-time behavior for different axes and the four VGs. We know that the long-time behavior is an exponential decay when t > 2ps. But, we find that the intermediate time scale behavior (0.2ps. < t < 2ps) is
fitting function to fit the intermediate time-scale behavior of Cμ(l)
(
t)
and the discussions are given in the next section.E. Intermediate time scale of
Cμ(1)(
t) and
Cμ(2)(
t)
Although the intermediate time behavior is not described by a single Gaussian decay or a single exponential decay, we think that the transition process from the short-time scale to the long-time scale must have parts of the residual memory.
Therefore, we use a fitting function that is composed of two kinds in mathematical formula. In Ref. [16], they use a combination of two terms of power law and multiplied by exponential function to fit the intermediate time-scale behavior of the orientational correlation function of water in the regime of supercooled liquids. Thus we assume the transition process is a power-law-like behavior.
Before constructing the fitting function in the intermediate time scale, we make
)
To analyze the intermediate-time behavior (within 0.2ps < t < 2ps), we first extend the fitting function Fμ(l)
(
t)
for the long time behavior from the range t > 2ps to t > 0.2ps. The results for their comparison with the simulated Cμ(l)(
t)
are shown in the left-hand panels in Fig. 18, and Fig. 19. We find that the single exponential decayfor the long time behavior is not fit well within 0.2ps < t < 2ps. So, we define
which is a power-law function multiplied by a Gaussian function. In the fitting function,
s and
(l)p are parameters of the power-law function and
(l)τ
i(l) is the rotational-diffusion decay time in the intermediate-time scale.For each VG, the corresponding fitting function is given as

axes. In the previous section, we know that the bumps of water molecule motion will decrease the decay rate. For different VGs, we can clearly observe that the relation betweenξ
and the decay rate in Figs. 20(a), (b), (c) and Figs. 21(a), (b), (c).From these results, we also tabulate these fitting parameters for different axes and VGs in Table V and Table VI, respectively. We find that the appearance time of bumps will be extended when
ξ
increase. This result is consistent with the previous one, especially for the y-axis, the geometry make IY smaller than other two axes, therefore, the initial motion memory keeps in a longer period. Besides, Cμ(1)(
t)
decays more slowly than Cμ(2)
(
t)
. Obviously, in Fig. 20(b),Δ
Cμξ(1)(
t)
in VG III andIV have inflection points.
The fitting functions provide good predictions to us in the intermediate-time behavior. This result indicates that the OCF after getting rid of the H-bond restrictions in the intermediate-time scale is a combination of the residual memory of the Gaussian decay and the exponential decay extending into a long-time scale.
Chapter V Conclusions
By MD simulations with the SPC/E model, we have investigated the behaviors of the OCF of water molecules at different time scales. For examining the effects of interaction force, especially the H-bonds between molecules, we use the VP analysis to distinguish the local structures of molecules in a configuration.
In chapter II, we have derived the short-time behavior of the OCF, which is a Gaussian decay. We show that the behavior of the OCF within t < 0.02ps can be well described with three kinds of approximation: the total and the real-frequency INM spectra and the power spectrum of the AVAF. For t > 0.02ps, some inflection points in the OCF occur, with the number of inflection points determined by the strengths of the H-bonds attaching to a molecule and, therefore, the H-bond strengths determined by the local structures of the molecule. Thus, the local structures of water molecules have an enormous impact in the short-time behavior of the OCF.
According to the Debye theory for the rotational diffusion in molecular liquids, the long-time behavior of the OCF is a single-exponential decay with the rotational-diffusion decay time given as () =
[
( +1) μ]
−1τ
Dlμl l D
, where l = 1, 2 and Dμ. is the rotational-diffusion coefficient. Thus, the ratioτ
D(1μ)/τ
(D2μ) of the decay times for the OCFs with l=1 and 2 in the long time limit is expected to be three. For my MD simulation results, the logarithm of the OCFs with l=1 and 2 in long-time limit areindeed well. Fit with linear functions; however, given in Table III and Table IV, the ratio of the slopes of the linear functions for l=1 and 2 is about 1.6 ~ 2.2. This phenomenon has been discussed in paper [21], in which similar MD simulation results of the SPC/E model are reported. In this paper, the difference between the simulated ratio and the prediction by the Debye theory is explained by the rearrangements of the H-bond network by constantly breaking and forming H-bonds through the reorientation of water molecules. Therefore, the Debye diffusive model is unsuitable for describing the reorientational dynamics in water and the authors of the paper introduced the extended jump model (EJM) for describing the reorientations in liquid water. Although the Debye theory can not predict accurately the rotational-diffusion decay time, the long-time behaviors of the OCFs still follow a single-exponential decay.
For investigating the intermediate-time behavior of the OCF, I introduce
Δ
Cμ(l)(
t)
, which is the difference between the OCF obtained by the MD simulation and the single-exponential decay in the long time limit. In general, the behaviors ofΔ
Cμ(l)(
t)
for molecules with different characteristics of local structures are all well fit by a power-law function multiplied by a Gaussian function, only with different coefficients in the fitting function, which are resulted from the H-bond effect and the three different moments of inertia of the anistopic water molecule. For a special case, the H-bonds attaching to molecules with highly aspherical local structures cause an inflection occurring in the
Δ
Cμ(l)(
t)
of the y-axis.Tables
