Van der Waals (VdW) interactions constitute a rather small component in the cohesive energy of ionic crystals. The contributions of the VdW and the short range repulsion becomes more and more predominant at successive differentiations of the lattice energy as compared to the coulomb contributions because of their particular nature of dependence on the lattice parameter. The complete Van der Waals (VdW) contributions to the equilibrium condition and the second order elastic constant for NaCl and CsCl structure alkali halides have been derived in this paper..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
