Abstract
The authors performed electronic ab initio calculations of ion clusters simulating a piece of ionic crystal. The main interest here is to estimate the (direct) energy band gap from the cluster energy levels. The model consists of a central cation surrounded by four shells of ions, with additional point charges embedding the cluster. The authors present results for the series of alkali halides with rock-salt structure. 16 refs., 1 tab.
