Abstract
IT is of great practical importance to know various macroscopic properties of diatomic crystals. Direct measured values are not always available and therefore reliable methods of computation will be useful. This, of course, is only possible if simple and accurate forms for the interaction potential energy be known with some confidence. Three different potentials involving only two unknowns have very often been used in such studies. These potentials which are now well knoun after the names who first suggested them are: Born; Born and Mayer; and Pauling.
