Abstract

A method of calculating the surface energy of an ionic crystal is outlined and illustrated by application to the {110} face of crystals having the fluorite structure. Numerical results are given for CaF₂, SrF₂, and BaF₂, and are compared with values calculated previously for the {111} face of these crystals.
