Structural perturbations in proton-randomized single point charge simulated ice

Molecular dynamics, along with Monte Carlo methods, continue to be powerful tools to probe molecular behavior: In this study, we used a simulation cell consisting of 896 water molecules in an ice-lh configuration to compare structural properties of protonrandomized simulated ice using the Single...
