Abstract:Within the framework of an interionic potential model, electrostatic and repulsive energies, lattice self-potentials for distinct ions, and the Madelung constant were calculated for several technologically important layered alkaline-earth fluorohalide scintillators belonging to the matlockite family and crystallizing with the PbFCl-type structure. The Coulombic term was computed using the conventional Ewald method, where the formulas were adjusted to optimize the computer calculation, and the overlap repulsive… Show more
