Abstract:An interionic lattice potential is developed on the basis of phonon-pressure theory. This interionic potential is used to investigate the thermodynamic and thermoelastic properties of NaCN, KCN, and RbCN crystals. Thermal contribution is taken into account within the framework of HZ type short range overlap interactions, effective upto second neighbour ions. Cohesive energy and six distinct values of third order elastic constants (TOEC) for these crystals are calculated a t both temperatures 0 and 300 K. Value… Show more
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.
