Abstract
An elementary method (the so-called “chain method”) [1] is applied to the evaluation of the Madelung constant of crystal lattices both of the NaCl and the CsCl-type. The binding energies are summed up over suitably chosen cylinder shells resulting in very good approximate values for the Madelung constant. The Madelung constants both of CaF2 and ZnS-type lattices are determined from linear relations given byBenson andvan Zeggeren [2].
Резюме
Соответствующим применением цепного метода автором вычисляется постоянная Маделунга для решёток NaCl и CsCl. На основе этих результатов, используя линейные зависимости Бензона и Цеггерена, определяется значение постоянной Маделунга для решёток CaF2 и ZnS.
