(Receired 26 April 1994) Abstract--The present paper deals with the evaluation of pressure derivatives of NaCI, Brt _ ~ crystals from their elastic constant data at 0 K and 300 K.
THEORETICAL
BACKGROUND
The recently developed theory to evaluate the Moelwyn Huggesh parameter, (C~), i.e. the pressure derivative of the bulk modules") has been applied to NaCI-NaBr mixed alkali halides with different compositions at 0 K and 300 K. The input data has been taken from Lewis et a l : 2~ and Roberts and Smitht3~ and are reported in Table 1. The calculated values of CI for different compositions of NaCI-NaBr, both at 0 K and 300 K are reported in Table 2. The results show that there is an increasing trend in the values of C, with the decrease in percentage of NaBr and for each composition the values obtained at 300 K are higher than that at 0 K.
