Abstract Existing methods to compute free energy differences between polymorphs use harmonic approximations, advanced non-Boltzmann bias sampling techniques, and/or multistage free energy perturbations. This work demonstrates how Bennett’s diabat interpolation method (J. Comp. Phys. 1976, 22, 245) can be combined with energy gaps from lattice switch Monte Carlo techniques (Phys. Rev. E 2001, 61, 906) to swiftly estimate polymorph free energy differences. The new method requires only two unbiased molecular dynamics simulations, one for each polymorph. To illustrate the new method, we compute the free energy difference between face centered cubic (FCC) and body centered cubic (BCC) polymorphs for a Gaussian core solid. We discuss the justification for parabolic models of the free energy diabats and similarities to methods that have been used in studies of electron transfer.

Polymorphs are different crystal structures for the same molecule or compound. 1 Different polymorphs can exhibit different mechanical properties, 2,3 different optical properties, 4,5 different solubilities, 6,7 different melting temperatures, 8,9 different catalytic activities, 10,11 different crystal growth habits, 12,13 etc. Because it affects so many properties, polymorphism is important to pharmaceuticals, 14–17 biomineralization, 18,19 metallurgy, 20,21 geology, 22,23 etc. The key challenges in computational studies of polymorphism are: 1) discovery/prediction of new polymorphs, 24–28 2) quantifying the free energy differences between polymorphs, 29–33 and 3) predicting nucleation and growth kinetics for each polymorph. 34,35 Significant progress has been made in polymorph prediction and some progress has been made in crystallization kinetics, but successful kinetic predictions have been limited to model systems and/or to simple molecules with accurate forcefields and precisely quantified driving forces. Typical free energy differences between observed polymorphs are only a couple of kJ/mol, 36 so subtle factors like dispersion, 37 polarization, 31 and anharmonic vibrational effects 38 are important. For more complex molecules, the difficulty of computing free energy differences between polymorphs hampers computational studies of nucleation and growth kinetics. Reviews on methods to compute polymorph free energy differences can be found elsewhere, 39–41 but the most prevalent techniques are harmonic approximations, 42 quasi-harmonic expansions, 43–45 and fully anharmonic calculations. The anharmonic and quasi-anharmonic calculations can be performed with accurate ab initio Hamiltonians. 46 This paper focuses on methods that can treat fully anharmonic modes, but which usually require force fields to accelerate sampling. Among these, the Frenkel-Ladd approach 29 and the related Einstein molecule approach 47 compute the reversible work to transform polymorph a to an Einstein crystal and then to polymorph b. They obtain the small free energy difference between polymorphs from the difference between two larger free energies along long paths to and from the Einstein crystal reference system. Tan et al. 32 developed harmonically targeted temperature perturbation (HTTP) methods to compute (classical) absolute free energies of polymorphs from a series of perturbations starting at very low temperature where the har-

monic approximation is valid. Martonak et al. 30 and Tuckerman et al. 48 have used lattice vectors as order parameters with biased sampling techniques to sample a reversible (but dynamically fictitious) path from one polymorph to another. Each of the above methods can provide highly accurate free energy differences between polymorphs, but they are rather demanding calculations. Here we note that lattice switch moves adapted from the Lattice-Switch Monte Carlo (LSMC) method of Bruce et al. 33,49 can be used in a very different, and comparatively easy, route to the free energy difference between polymorphs. First, we briefly describe the LSMC moves. The complete position vector of a ~ iα ) and a displacement vector particle (~riα ) can be written as a sum of a reference position (R (~ui ). ~ α + ~ui ~riα = R i

(1)

Here α refers to a particular phase. A lattice switch move attempts to swap the reference ~ α without changing the displacements. The acceptance probability of an lattice positions R i LSMC move depends on the energy gap

∆E(~ u) = Ea (~ u) − Eb (~ u)

(2)

i.e the potential energy difference between polymorphs a and b with the same displacement vector u ~ in each polymorph. The typical displacements of atoms during an unbiased simulation of polymorph a will be different from the typical displacements in polymorph b, so that LSMC moves have large energy gaps and extremely low acceptance probabilities. Jackson et al. demonstrated that LSMC simulations can be biased along ∆E to generate the “adiabatic” Landau free energy FL (∆E). 50 Biased LSMC free energy calculations have been performed for core-softened fluids, 51 Lennard-Jones solids, 50 solid phases of butane 52 and BCC and HCP phases of zirconium. 53 Like other methods for computing free energy differences between polymorphs, the LSMC path is a non-physical route. However it suggests interesting analogies to methods that use

energy gaps to compute free energy difference in electron transfer applications. 54–56 In an electron transfer reaction, 57 the electron jumps from the donor atom to an acceptor atom with all atoms at fixed positions. The LSMC move analogously jumps between the reference lattices while maintaining fixed displacements (~ u). Motivated by this analogy, let ρa (∆E) and ρb (∆E) be distributions of the energy gap that are generated during unbiased simulations in states a and b, respectively. The well-known Bennett Acceptance Ratio (BAR) method 58 requires significant overlap between ρa (∆E) and ρb (∆E), and these will rarely overlap with each other. In the same paper, Bennett suggests an alternative diabat interpolation scheme for cases where ρa (∆E) and ρb (∆E) are non-overlapping on the ∆E axis, but sufficiently smooth to permit interpolation. 58 A theoretically motivated model for the diabats helps to bridge the gap between unbiased ρa (∆E) and ρb (∆E) histograms. The principal advantages of diabat interpolation are its low computational cost and its easy implementation. It requires just two unconstrained simulations (one for each state), while other methods require multistage perturbations or advanced sampling techniques. Diabat interpolation has been used in electron transfer studies, e.g. Blumberger et al. 54 used parabolic diabat models to interpolate the Marcus curves for electron transfer between Ag + /Ag 2+ ions in water. In Bennett’s formulation of the diabat interpolation approach, ρa (∆E) and ρb (∆E) are distributions of the energy gap from two unbiased simulations with different Hamiltonians. In the proposed extension to polymorphism, ρa (∆E) and ρb (∆E) are distributions of the energy gap from unbiased simulations with the same Hamiltonian, but with two different reference lattices. Despite this difference the diabat interpolation framework is applicable because: (i) the basins corresponding to states a and b are distant and non-overlapping parts of configurational space, (ii) the potential energy surfaces in the neighborhood of reference lattices a and b are different, and (iii) there is a one-to-one mapping (with unit Jacobian) between configurations in states a and b. For all practical purposes, the lattice switch can be viewed as a change in the Hamiltonian.

Here β = 1/kB T , a and b correspond to the different polymorphs, and the

~ a and R ~ b . Subtracting the integration over displacements applied to reference lattices R Equation 4 from Equation 3 yields: 58

Fa (∆E) − Fb (∆E) = kB T ln

heβ∆E(~u) δ(∆E(~ u) − ∆E)ia hδ(∆E(~ u) − ∆E)ia

(5)

where h ia indicates an average over the ensemble of equilibrium displacements in state a. Equation 5 can be further simplified to give :

Fa (∆E) − Fb (∆E) = ∆E

(6)

From Equation 6 it can be inferred that the two diabats must intersect each other at ∆E = 0. Although Fb (∆E) and Fa (∆E) have minima at different ∆E values, the vertical difference between them is always given by the energy gap itself and this dramatically facilitates the polymorph free energy calculation. An unbiased simulation in one basin, say phase a, directly generates equilibrium data on the Fa (∆E) curve, but because of Equation 6, the same simulation data provides a nonequilibrium section of the Fb (∆E) curve. Similar piecewise portions of the two diabats can be obtained from an unbiased simulation of phase b. Thus two unbiased simulations yield four piecewise sections of the free energy diabats Fa (∆E) and Fb (∆E). The two non-equilibrium sections would have been very difficult to aquire by other means. A parabolic model for the diabats is motivated by the Central Limit Theorem. 59 The energy gap is the difference between two random variables Ea (~ u) and Eb (~ u) which are sums over thousands of atoms 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

that have similar interactions with their neighbors. As such, we expect Ea and Eb to both be approximately Gaussian random variables, and therefore the energy gap should also be a Gaussian random variable. 59 Based on the above considerations we propose parabolic models for the diabatic free energy curves: Fa (∆E) = λ(∆E)2 + φ∆E + F0

Fb (∆E) = λ(∆E)2 + (φ − 1)∆E + F0

and

The parabolic model for the diabats facilitates interpolation across the gap between typical values of ∆E in states a and b. When the diabats are not perfect parabolas, the deviation can be modeled by replacing λ in Equations 7 and 8 with λ0 (1 + ε∆E). The non-parabolic corrections will be important when ρa (∆E) and ρb (∆E) have different widths. The difference is not pronounced in this work, but adiabatic LSMC results for the BCC and HCP polymorphs of zirconium 53 provide an example where the non-parabolic corrections would be needed. Figure 1 illustrates the analogy between the diabats in electron transfer and the diabats that we use to estimate polymorph free energy differences. Figure 1 also shows the two electronic configurations and fixed atom positions during electron transfer, as well as the two reference lattices with fixed displacements during a lattice switch. Both procedures convert a typical equilibrium reactant (product) configuration into a non-equilibrium product (reactant) configuration. To illustrate the diabat interpolation approach, we compute the free energy difference between the face centered cubic (FCC) and body centered cubic (BCC) phases for Gaussian core solids. The Gaussian core potential 60 is :

The numbering of atoms in the FCC and the BCC phases determines the one-to-one mapping between displacements during a lattice switch. Different numbering schemes can potentially influence the distributions of energy gaps and the efficiency of the interpolation procedure. The importance of the numbering scheme for efficiency was also reported in regular LSMC simulations by Bridgwater and Quigley. 52 Each permutation of the atom labels creates a symmetry-equivalent version of the system. Accordingly, each polymorph can be represented by any one of several symmetry equivalent minima and basins. The schematic below depicts the basins corresponding to two polymorphs a and b, and their symmetric representations a0 and b0 that result from switching the atom labels. Note that the stiff/soft modes in each basin are oriented differently from those in its symmetric labelswapped representation. We are free to choose the atom labels so that state a maps to b or to the alternative representation b0 . The atom labels in the schematic are not ideal for state 8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

The mapping from polymorph a directly to b is not ideal because the distribution of displacements u (red) will have very different shapes in a and b. Instead, we can relabel the atoms in state b so that a lattice switch maps polymorph a directly to the b0 representation of polymorph b. b, because a lattice switch from a to b maps the softest displacement direction in a onto the stiffest displacement direction in b. By switching the atom labels so that a maps to b0 , displacements along the soft modes of a map to displacements along the soft modes of b0 . The remainder of this letter refers only to a and b. Alternative representations need not be considered once an appropriate mapping has been adopted.

The ideal labels should make Hb as close as possible to Ha . Additional work is needed to identify the appropriate matrix distance metric for minimizing the difference between Ha and Hb over all possible mappings.

Simulations of the Gaussian core particles were carried out in the NVT (canonical) ensemble. The temperature was controlled with the Nose-Hoover 61,62 style thermostat as implemented in LAMMPS. 63 In Table 1, the free energy differences calculated using our framework are compared to independent Frenkel-Ladd estimates from Prestipino et al. 64,65 The results of Prestipino et al. also include the finite size corrections of Polson et al. 66 The finite size corrections are of the order 0.01 kB T per particle, the paths to and from the Einstein crystal require on the order 100 kB T per particle, and the overall free energy difference between the polymorphs is of the order 0.1 kB T per particle. As shown in Table 1 the results predicted from our framework are similar to those from the more difficult calculations by Prestipino et al. The free energies are decomposed into entropic and energetic parts in Table 2. The free energy diabats for FCC and BCC phases of Gaussian core solids are shown in Figure 4.

Fluctuations of ∆E within the FCC and BCC polymorphs also increase with N , but the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean decreases as N −1/2 leading to narrower diabats on a per particle basis. Therefore a small system size would seem to facilitate the interpolation. To the contrary, finite size effects are evident in the shifting peaks of ρF CC (∆E) and ρBCC (∆E) for simulations with N < 4394 atoms. The legend in Figure 5 contains the free energy

estimate polymorph free energy differences. The method includes anharmonic effects and entropic contributions. It requires only two unbiased simulations, so it may become possible to estimate polymorph free energy differences directly from ab initio MD simulations 67,68 when force fields are not available. The method presented in this work is limited to free energy differences at constant density, but future work will present extensions to polymorphs with different densities and direct interpolation routes to Gibbs free energy differences. We anticipate that the new method will perform well for metals, intermetallics, metal oxides, and binary salts. It is less clear whether the method will work for molecular crystals that have both stiff bonds and softer non-bonded interactions.
