Theoretical studies of protons in sodium hydroxide

Abstract
The results of an ab initio study of the interatomic potentials in solid NaOH are presented. The aim of the work is to establish a general methodology for the study of protons in solids. The calculations involve the use of quantum-mechanical clusters with a point-charge representation of the surrounding lattice. It was found to be possible to obtain potentials which accurately reproduce the structure of α-NaOH, provided care is taken with the specification of the point-charge region.
