Abstract
We present an Extended Shell Model calculation of the phonon dispersion curves in VI 2. The dynamical matrix is derived from interionic potentials including Coulomb monopole and dipole, van der Waals, nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor Born-Mayer repulsive interactions. The potential parameters are either known in literature or derived from lattice constants and cohesive energy. A suitable choice of only three adjustable parameters (net charge Z, shell charge and shell-core displacement) yields an excellent fit of the five optical frequencies and of the anion static dipole. The resulting ionic charge Z = 0.75 is very well consistent with the recent neutron data on transferred hyperfine interaction.
