Abstract

Abstract An interionic potential model has been proposed to study the static and elastic properties of mixed diatomic crystals. The interaction system of this potential consists of the long-range Coulomb and three-body interaction and the short-range overlap repulsion. This potential has been used to calculate the cohesive energy, phase-transition pressure and volume, third-order elastic constants and pressure derivatives of the effective second-order elastic constants for NaCl-NaBr mixed crystals. These results agree reasonably well with the available experimental results on the host crystals and allow us to draw some meaningful conclusions for the mixed alkali halide crystals.
