Abstract
Expressions are obtained for the energy of alkali halide crystals with two kinds of simple complexes of point defects โ divalent impurity with vacancy and bivacancy โ using the lattice static method. The heat of solution of Mg^2+^, Ca^2+^, Sr^2+^, and Ba^2+^ in NaCl, KCl, and KBr is calculated. Numerical calculations show that in some cases the nearestโneighbour complex is less stable than the nextโnearestโneighbour complex. The formation energy of a bivacancy is calculated in the same crystals. The results are consistent with those obtained experimentally. It is shown that in the latter case the configuration of the nearestโneighbour complex is the most stable one.
