Calculations are made of Cs3, &, 8Cs~/&zzt and the A-A stacking fault energy of a graphite crystal using Lennard-Jones potentials between atoms in different layer planes. An estimate is made of aC,,/ae,,. The values of Cs3 and the A-A stacking fault energy are in fair agreement with experiment, but

Harmonic lattice dynamics is used to calculate the sound velocities in crystalline 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane at T = 0 K and zero pressure. The intermolecular potential energy is defined by the exp-6-l atom-atom summation method. This potential reproduces the observed crystal structure satisfa
