Energy studies on α- and β-thallium(I) fluorides
Abstract
The cohesive energies of the α and β polymorphs of thallium(I) fluoride are presented and discussed, and the results interpreted in terms of probable structures for these compounds. Comparisons are drawn between the calculated and thermodynamic values for the cohesive energies. The agreement between the calculated and thermodynamic values for the cohesive energies is good. and indicative of an ionic structure.
