The electronic charge density at 1291— is calculated from the Hartree—Fock wave functions in the lithium iodide lattice and from that it is found that the charge density varies approximately as the inverse seventh power of the interatomic distance.

In this work, the charge density at the site of the 1 nucleus in lithium iodide is calculated from the Hartree—Fock wave functions taking into account the overlap of core s-functions of the 1 with U+ in an octahedral arrangement of atoms. The normal core contribution is independent of the neighbouring atoms. However, we find that the overlap integrals depend on the interatomic distance leading to an isomer shift in the Mössbauer effect that varies approximately as R7. An interesting power law is thus predicted. Including the overlap effect [1] p(O)=

This power law 67Zn is very close to the one found in ref. [I] in oxide lattices. It is because forthis 61 Ni and of strong dependence on the lattice constant that the values calculated [3] for a fixed distance should be carefully exaniined. This new law, p ~ of the probability density on interatomic distance may be useful to predict the effect of thermal expansion on the Mössbauer charge density as well as the change in the charge density in going from one lattice to another. The effect of the crystal field H. can be incorporated by replacing the overlap integral (q~ 5Ix~~) by + (~jSlH~jxjk). Although we expect the con-

484

tribution of that the crystal field alone to be perhaps small, one should be cautious the overlap overestimates the dependence of the charge density on the interatornic distance.
