Abstract
The mean-square displacements and mean-square velocities have been calculated for the (001) surface of a 15-layer NaCl crystal slab with the Kellermann rigid-ion and deformation-dipole models. Comparison of the two models shows that the inclusion of polarization effects results in an increase in the room-temperature value of μz2(Cl) at the surface (the z direction being perpendicular to the surface) and causes the room-temperature value of μz2(Na+)μz2(Cl) at the surface to depart considerably from the corresponding bulk value. The calculation of various limiting values can be determined more efficiently using Gaussian quadrature numerical integration.
