Abstract
In an earlier paper (see ibid., vol.6, p.337) the authors described a Monte-Carlo simulation of various thermodynamical properties of Na at 293 and 361K using the interionic potential of Rasolt and Taylor (1975). The authors have subsequently discovered and corrected a small error in their Na pseudopotential. This correction does not affect low T properties but does give significantly better results for the high T value of C44.Keywords
