Abstract

Correction for ‘Density functional theory study of superoxide ions as impurities in alkali halides’ by Alexander S. Tygesen et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2020, DOI: 10.1039/d0cp00719f.


In the right-hand column of the eighth page of the manuscript, all occurrences of the squared vibronic constant, F, should not be squared. Thus, the text should read: “The magnitude of the Q1 distortion can be written in the first approximation as Qmin1 = F/K, where F and K are the vibronic coupling constant and the force constant for the Q1 mode, respectively.27 In general, both F and K decrease as the lattice parameter is increased. It can be seen from Table 4 that the magnitude of the Q1 distortion decreases as we move from sodium halides to potassium halides and from alkali bromides to alkali chlorides, which indicates that F decreases faster than K with the increase in lattice parameter.”

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
