Cohesion of Ionic Solids in the Born Model
1K
TL;DR: The Born model was originally proposed for the purpose of evaluating the lattice energy of crystals, which approach this idealized picture, and because of its success and simplicity it has subsequently been applied to the description of a variety of physical properties of ionic crystals, with varying degrees of success.

Abstract: Publisher Summary In an idealized picture, an ionic crystal is regarded as composed of spherical, nonoverlapping ions, bearing net charges of integral amount. The electrostatic interactions of these pointlike charges give rise to a net binding (Madelung energy), as each ion is preferentially surrounded by ions of opposite charge. In typical ionic crystals, the Madelung energy is in fact quite close to the observed cohesive energy. The Born model was originally proposed for the purpose of evaluating the lattice energy of crystals, which approach this idealized picture, and because of its success and simplicity it has subsequently been applied to the description of a variety of physical properties of ionic crystals, with varying degrees of success. In the framework of the Born model, it is convenient to describe the lattice energy of an ionic crystal as composed of energy terms arising from interactions between the ions. In addition to the net binding provided by the electrostatic interactions of point-like ionic charges, the binding arising from a synchronization of the electronic motions in the ions is considered explicitly in some versions of the model. The contribution of this so-called “van der Waals interaction” to the lattice energy is small, of the order of a few per cent. The ratio between the polarization energy that is connected with the mutually induced electronic dipoles on a pair of ions and the Coulomb interaction energy of the net charges of the ions is definitely less than the ionic polarizability per unit volume. The attractive forces in the crystal are balanced by the so-called overlap repulsive forces, which oppose the interpenetration of the ions.

Theory of bulk moduli of hard solids
TL;DR: In this paper, two theoretical approaches are described to examine the bulk moduli of solids, one based on an ab initio method requiring only the atomic numbers of the constituent atoms as input, and the second based on a much simpler empirical approach which is applicable to diamond and zinc blende solids and uses the nearest-neighbor bond length as input.
Design of Ceramic Materials with Strong Adhesion to B-DNA with an Efficient Materials Informatics Technology
Abstract: Appropriate ceramic materials with strong adhesion to B-DNA, which is an eco-friendly ( biodegradable and biocompatible) organic material considered to be used for electronics devices, were selected by using a combination of an orthogonal array and a response-surface method. In this technique, at the first stage, the important factors that significantly influence the adhesion strength were selected from various factors that characterize ceramic materials by using an orthogonal array with molecular dynamics simulations. As a result, the short-side and long-side lattice constants (a and b ) were selected from four ceramic-material factors (a, b, the surface energy, S, and the cohesive energy, C ). At the second stage, the adhesion strength was described as a function of the selected important factors by using a response-surface method. From this function, the optimal solution (the best values for a and b) that made the adhesion strength maximum was obtained. The best values for a and b were obtained as 0.340 nm and 0.589 nm, respectively. At the third stage, the best ceramic material whose lattice constants were equal to the best values (a =0.340 nm and b=0.589 nm), which are B-DNA’s lattice constants, was selected by use of the simulation results of lattice constants. As a result, ZrO2/CaO/HfO2, HfO2/CaO/SrO and CaO/SrO/HfO2, whose lattice constants were a =0.340 nm and b=0.589 nm, were selected as the best ceramic materials with the strongest adhesion to B-DNA. The results show that lattice matching is important in the adhesion between B-DNA and ceramics.
Evaluating the Effects of Nanosilica on Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Polyvinyl Alcohol/Polyacrylamide Polymer Composites for Artificial Cartilage from an Atomic Level
TL;DR: The binding energy and the pair correlation functions between a nanosilica particle and the polymer chains in a cubic cell demonstrate that incorporating nanosILica into PVA/PAM polymer composites improves the internal binding strength between different components through the forming hydrogen bonds.

TL;DR: Mott and Gurney's book on electrons in ionic crystals, the authors, is an excellent and perhaps the first monograph on applied theoretical physics and has been used for many applications of modern theoretical physics to questions of appreciable technical importance.
