Preliminary Property Design for Ionic Solids and Liquids

What is it about?

This paper describes and demonstrates simple procedures by which standard thermodynamic properties, such as lattice energy, entropy, and so on, may be predicted based upon the density or volume of the material.

Why is it important?

Thermodynamic values for many materials may be difficult to come by, so prediction provides a ready substitute (and also provides a check on published values).
