摘要: In this paper, we report on a series of computational simulations on hydrogen bonding in two ice phases (Ih and Ic) using CASTEP with PW91 and RPBE exchange–correlation based on ab initio density functional theory. The strength of the H-bond is correlated with intramolecular O–H stretching, and the energy splitting exists for both the H-bond and covalent O–H stretching. By analyzing the dispersion relationship of ω(q), we observe the separation of the longitudinal optic (LO) mode from transverse optic (TO) mode at the gamma point, seemingly interpreting the controversial two H-bond peaks in the vibrational spectrum of ice recorded by inelastic incoherent neutron scattering experiments. The test of ambient environment on phonon density of sates (PDOS) shows that the relaxed tetrahedral structure is the most stable structural configuration for water clusters.
