Zero-point energy effects on the stability of water clusters: Implications on the uptake of hydrogen isotope substituted water on ice and clathrate hydrate phases
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To study the effect of hydrogen isotope substitution on the uptake of water during formation of clathrate hydrates, the harmonic intermolecular librational modes of selected water clusters (X2O)n with n = 2–6 and hydrogen isotopes X = H, D, and T are studied. The effects of the quantum mechanical zero-point energy (ZPE) in each cluster on the binding energies of the H2O, D2O, and T2O clusters are determined, with ZPE leading to the smallest binding energies in the H2O clusters and the largest binding energies in the T2O clusters. Corrections for anharmonicity of the librational modes are considered, and these bring the frequency ranges of the calculated intermolecular librational modes in the clusters to the experimental ranges of the librational modes in the infrared spectra of H2O and D2O solid ice and clathrate hydrate phases, and liquid H2O water. These calculations show the expected ranges of the binding energy of tritiated water onto a solid ice and clathrate hydrate surface and can help quantify the isotopic enrichment on a growing clathrate hydrate phase from the solution.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
