Abstract
After an outline of work on rare-gas systems, which serves as a target for parallel work on alkali halides, and an initial brief survey of those parts of this parallel work for which results have been obtained, interionic potential models for alkali halides are considered in some detail. The rigid ion potentials of Fumi and Tosi are discussed and then a major part of the section is devoted to deriving a new set of polarizable ion potentials, which incorporate the ideas behind the lattice dynamical shell model. Extensions which include many-body terms in the potentials are considered briefly and finally the information which can be obtained from alkali halide diatomic molecules is discussed. In the third section methods of computer simulation for ionic liquids are outlined, concentrating on the molecular dynamics method, and some of the properties which can be obtained by analysing the ion trajectories are listed. Results from simulations, including some new work on LiF, NaCl and RbI, are reviewed.Keywords
