Abstract
We use the experimental values of the polarizabilities of the water molecule in conjunction with atomic trajectories obtained from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to calculate numerically the Raman and infrared (IR) spectra for hexagonal ice. We compare the results when the MD trajectories are generated using an effective two-body potential and a polarizable ab-initio potential. We find that, for both potentials, the IR and the Raman spectra, in the region between 0 and 400 cm-1, are dominated by induced dipole contributions. The polarizable ab-initio potential reproduces fairly well the experimental spectra, while the results for the two-body empirical potential are less satisfactory.
