Abstract
The TTMF2.1-F model is a non-empirical intermolecular water potential parametrised from ab-initio calculations of the water dimer with a complete basis set limit including dispersion correction from second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory. In this work, using two-phase ice-water NVT molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations, we found the ice melting temperature using the TTM2.1-F potential is close to 273 K when the nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) were included using path-integral centroid MD. Detailed analysis of the radial distribution functions, angle distribution functions, and associated joint probability for both liquid water and the two-phase cases showed that the melting-point-temperature drop when using path-integral simulation is due to the weakening of hydrogen bonds vis-à-vis classically-propagated MD.
