Extract

In previous papers by Misra(1) and by Born and Misra(2) lattice sums of the type required in discussing the stability of a cubic crystal of the Bravais type in which the forces are central have been calculated. In the investigation of the thermodynamic properties of crystals a more general type of lattice sum occurs, which involves the phases of the waves. In the present paper a method of calculating these sums is developed and tables are computed.
