Models of environmental effects on anion polarizability

This paper deals with three different approaches to the representation of environmental effects on anion polarizability in cubic crystals of the stoichiometry MX, where M is an alkali metal and X is a halogen. Ab initio embedded cluster calculations of the variation in anion polarizability with pres...

Munn, R.W. Monard, M.C. This paper deals with three different approaches to the representation of environmental effects on anion polarizability in cubic crystals of the stoichiometry MX, where M is an alkali metal and X is a halogen. Ab initio embedded cluster calculations of the variation in anion polarizability with pressure in a fixed crystal type are presented and compared with experiment. The results are then used in a scaled ab initio model used to predict further values for the pressure dependence of the in-crystal anion polarizability. This scaled model is compared with a fully empirical ‘universal’ model due to Batana et al. based on polarizability change with ionic radius [1997, Molec. Phys., 92, 1029]. The assumptions of the two models differ substantially and the central purpose of this paper is to contrast these differences and highlight their consequences for prediction. Although the empirical model typically overestimates the experimental pressure derivatives, and the ab initio calculations somewhat underestimate them, it is shown that the assumption of incompressible cations in the scaled ab initio-derived model has a firmer physical basis than the empirical picture in which all ions are compressible. © 1999 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
