Some Elastic Properties and Phase Transitions in Some Alkali Halides Using Interatomic Potential Model
نویسنده
چکیده
We have predicted the phase transition pressure in some alkali halides using an interatomic potential approach based on rigid ion model. This potential form represents the composite form of the inverse power dependence and exponential dependence of the repulsive energy on interionic distance. Some thermoelastic properties such as second order elastic constants have been calculated using the same potential. The phase transition pressures (28.69 and 2.4 GPa) obtained by us for two alkali halides (NaCl and KCl) are in closer agreement with their corresponding experimental data (29.0 and 2.0 GPa). This approach is promising with respect to prediction of the phase transition pressure of other alkali halides as well.

A computer simulation of the structure and elastic properties of MgSiO3 perovskite
The structure and elastic properties of MgSiOa, a major mantle-forming phase, have been simulated using computer models which predict the minimum energy structure by using interatomic pair potentials to describe the net forces acting between the atoms. Four such interatomic potentials were developed in this study, and are compared with potential NI of Miyamoto and Takeda (1984). The most succes...

Two diierent theoretical approaches to the total energy of solids have been applied to describe the equations of state (EOS) of ionic halides and oxides. The rst one is the ab initio Perturbed Ion (aiPI) model, a quantum-mechanical technique that solves the Hartree-Fock equations of a crystal in a localized Fock space. The second one is an interatomic force model implemented in a new computatio...

We have studied the phase transitions in atomic clusters by molecular dynamics simulation, assuming Lennard-Jones interatomic pair potential. Calculations are performed by DAP parallel computer.

متن کاملTwo-photon spectroscopy of point defects
The experimental results on two-photon spectroscopy in impurities and defects in solids are reviewed. The main results are the measurement of absorption cross sections and in some cases the assignement of the symmetry of the transitions. Nonlinear effects can be of importance also in the process of colour centre formation in alkali halides crystals.
