Lattice eneigy

The alkali halides are chosen as good examples because the lattice eneigy is particularly well known and reliable.

The "zeroth approximation used in 2 and corresponding to complete randomness cannot be strictly exact. The differences in the interactions will tend to favorize distributions which lower the lattice eneigy and the true average value of Nab will be less or greater than the random value (3.2.10) for w positive or negative, respectively. In other words, non vanishing values of w will introduce a certain order in the mutual distribution of molecules. Before we go into details about the quantitative treament of this effect let us consider the order of magnitude of the correction which may be introduced by this ect.

Radiation Damage. It has been known for many years that bombardment of a crystal with eneigetic (keV to MeV) heavy ions produces regions of lattice disorder. An implanted ion entering a solid with an initial kinetic energy of 100 keV comes to rest in the time scale of about 10 13 due to both electronic and nuclear collisions. As an ion slows down and comes to rest in a crystal, it makes a number of collisions with the lattice atoms. In these collisions, sufficient eneigy may be transferred from the ion to displace an atom from its lattice site. Lattice atoms which are displaced by an incident ion are called primary knock-on atoms (PKA). A PKA can in turn displace other atoms, secondary knock-ons, etc. This process creates a cascade of atomic collisions and is collectively referred to as the collision, or displacement, cascade. The disorder can be directly observed by techniques sensitive to lattice structure, such as electron-transmission microscopy, MeV-partide channeling, and electron diffraction. 

In practice nuclear spin-lattice relaxation is always within the Redfield limit, i.e. the interaction energy with the lattice is always much smaller than rc-1. This is true even with paramagnetic systems, where the nuclear spin-lattice interaction eneigy is often much larger than usual. On the other hand, it is not obvious that electrons are always in the Redfield limit. When electrons are outside the Redfield limit, although nuclear relaxation is in the Redfield limit, it is not easy...

Other experimental methods for obtaining chemical shift anisotropies are the spin-lattice relaxation, molecular beam, and clathrate methods. The spin-lattice relaxation time, T, measures how soon a nuclear spin or assemblage of spins returns to its equilibrium position by releasing eneigy to the total system. Any mechanism that provides a fluctuating magnetic field can, in principle, contain the proper Fourier... 

The study of the chemical behavior of concentrated preparations of short-lived isotopes is complicated by the rapid production of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions and the destruction of crystal lattices in solid compounds. These effects are brought about by heavy recoils of high eneigy alpha particles released in the decay process.
