Abstract

In earlier work we have used a model for dilute mixed crystals in which the sole perturbing effect of a foreign ion is a change in the nearest-neighbor Born-Mayer repulsion parameters. A simple experimental criterion for the validity of this model is deduced and compared with experiment for the cases NaF-Li and NaF-K. For these cases, the validity criterion is violated; hence, the model is inadequate.
