Abstract

A unified study of lattice dynamics of paramagnetic NiO has been studied by correcting the basic equations of the three-body force shell model for the valency of the cations and anions. The shell charge and core charge parameters are also modified. This approach explains the complete lattice dynamics of NiO successfully only when both the ions are taken to be polarizable. There is good scope for fresh determination of positive ion polarizability and Debye temperature variation.
