Accelerated convergence treatment of R−n lattice sums International Tables for Crystallography (2010). Vol. B, ch. 3.4, pp. 449-457 [ doi:10.1107/97809553602060000771 ] Abstract Accelerated-convergence treatment of the Coulombic lattice sum of ionic crystals and the dispersion-energy sum of ionic or molecular crystals is described. The Coulombic energy is very long-range and convergence of the Coulombic lattice-energy sum is extremely slow. Accelerated-convergence treatment is indispensable to achieve accuracy with a reasonable amount of computational effort. The dispersion-energy sum has somewhat better convergence properties than the Coulombic sum, but accelerated-convergence treatment of the dispersion sum is also strongly recommended since its use can yield at least an order of magnitude improvement in accuracy for a given calculation effort. |
