Abstract
A technique based on the empirical properties of chemical bonds is used to model Frenkel defects in fluorite. It can identify likely positions for the interstitial F ion and, by predicting the ideal defect geometry from the resulting chemical bond network, it predicts a relaxed defect geometry which agrees with both neutron scattering measurements and the geometries predicted by other methods.
