Abstract
From the integrated intensities of Bragg reflections measured at room temperature with an x-ray powder diffractometer, the mean Debye-Waller factorB, the average r.m.s. amplitude of vibration (ū 2)1/2 and the Debye temperatureθ, have been determined for six crystals with the CsCl structure.
The energy of formation of a Schottky pair in these crystals has been estimated from an empirical relation between the x-ray Debye temperature and the energy of formation.
