Vegard's rule and volumes of formation for impurity ions

Abstract

Calculated volumes of formation for substitutional impurities in alkali halides are shown to be approximately consistent with the empirical rule that for miscible crystals the average volume per ion pair scales linearly between the two single-component extremes (Vegard's rule). The small deviations found from the rule are found to be in good agreement with available X-ray measurements.
