Using large scale molecular dynamics simulations with the adoptable ReaxFF interatomic potential we found that flat monolayer ice with a rhombic-square structure nucleates between graphene layers which is non-polar and non-ferroelectric. Two layers of water are found to crystallize into a square lattice close to the experimental found AA-stacking [G. Algara- Siller et al. Nature 519, 443445 (2015)]. Each layer has a net dipole moment which are in opposite direction. Bilayer ice is also non-polar and non-ferroelectric. For three layer ice we found that each layer has a crystal structure similar to monolayer ice.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-28T09:12:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "aa-stacked bilayer square ice", "graphene layers", "large scale molecular dynamics simulations", "monolayer ice", "adoptable reaxff interatomic potential" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150908242F" } } }
