The convergence of the sums arising in the calculation of the electrostatic field gradient in crystals is discussed. In the point charge model of ionic crystals convergence ensues for any boundary shape, and not only for spheres. The method outlined is applied to Cu2O and NaClO3, and agreement obtained with previous work. The advantages of this method of computation are outlined.

AbstractThe electric field gradient tensors at theIt was found that the quadrupole coupling constant is correlated with the distortion of the coordination tetrahedra and that the simple point-charge model which neglects polarization effects is apt to yield quite satisfying results for very distorted tetrahedra.Similar results were obtained for the Al and Na sites in albite, NaAlSi

The subject of the paper is the plane wave limit of static incommensurate displacement modulation in the crystal structure, which is related to the commensurate ferrophase modulation. Using the point charge model, the corresponding electric field gradient modulation and quadrupole perturbed NMR spectra are calculated. The corrections up to the 4th order owing to the incoherent displacements of the charges in the vicinity of the resonant nucleus are considered. Comparison with the experimental data shows a reasonable agreement.

AbstractThe electric field gradient (EFG) in hexagonal Agl at the iodine site is studied theoretically by three different procedures, namely the point charge model, the Hartree-Fock cluster approach, and the augmented plane wave band structure procedure. A comparison is made for the electronic charge distribution and the sizes of the various contributions to the EFG obtained by the different procedures. From the point charge model and the Hartree-Fock cluster approach one gets almost the same result for the EFG, q = +0.743 • 1021 V/m2 and +0.816 • 1021 V/m2 respectively. Only a rather preliminary result of q = +0.393 • 1021 V/m2 is found by the band structure calculation to be compared with the experimental value of qexp= ±0.415 • 1021 V/m2 . The confidence limits of the theoretical results are discussed, including possible ways to bridge the gap between the theoretical results by different methods and experiment. Both the cluster and the band structure calculations are shown to support an ionic model for hexagonal Agl with some overlap between the charge distributions on neighboring ions.
