The harmonic k = 0 lattice vibration spectrum of orthorhombic HCI has been determined employing a potential model consisting of dipolar, quadrupolar, and exponential-6 atom-atom interactions. The hydrogen bond has been simulated using a model due to Lippincott and Schroeder. By fitting the calculated frequencies to the low temperature vibrational data, the parameters which appear in the potential model have been determined subject to the constraint that the lattice equilibrium conditions are satisfied. Comparison is made with available experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
