q-TIP4P/F model of water

The q-TIP4P/F model is a flexible version of the TIP4P/2005 model of water designed for use in path integral simulations.

Melting point

The melting point was found to be $251\pm 1.5~K$ at 1 bar via direct coexistence calculations, and at 257K from calculations of the Gibbs energy function .

It is worth pointing out that the calculations presented in the work of Ramírez and Herrero used the melting point of the q-TIP4P/F model as its "reference state". It is perhaps more fruitful to examine the relative changes upon isotopic substitution: Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \Delta T_m (D_2O - H_2 0) = 6.5 K} (experimental value: 3.68 K) and $\Delta T_{m}(T_{2}O-H_{2}0)=8.2K$ (experimental value: 4.49 K).
