Madelung constant

Physics
  • A constant arising in calculations of the cohesion of ionic crystals. The electrostatic interaction per ion pair, U, is given by U(r)=−α‎e2/r, where α‎ is the Madelung constant and e 2/r is the Coulomb interaction between the ions, with r being the lattice constant. The value of α‎ depends on the type of lattice. For the sodium chloride lattice, α‎ has a value of about 1.75. To calculate cohesion, short-range repulsions with an inverse power law are included, i.e.

    U(r)=αe2/r-C/rn,

    where C and n are constants. The value of α‎ can be used in calculations to determine C and n. A more realistic calculation uses exponential repulsion rather than power law repulsion. The constant was first introduced by the German physicist Erwin Madelung (1881–1972) in 1918.

The value of α‎ depends on the type of lattice. For the sodium chloride lattice, α‎ has a value of about 1.75. The Madelung constant is calculated using lattice sums. It is possible to calculate the cohesion of ionic crystals if short-range repulsions with an inverse power law are included, i.e.

    U(r)=αe2/r-C/rn,

    where C and n are constants. The value of α‎ can be used in calculations to determine C and n. Short-range repulsion can be described more accurately by an exponential term. The Madelung constant was first calculated by Erwin Madelung (1881–1972) in 1918.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • The sum of the mutual potential coulombic attraction energies of the ions in a crystal. The constant is used in the equation for lattice energy.
