✦ Synopsis


Structural phase transitions in RbNO 3 and CsNO 3 are studied by molecular dynamics. The simulations are based on the parameter-free potentials calculated from the Gordon+Kim modi5ed electron gas formalism, extended to ionic molecular crystals. The microscopic mechanism of the structural phase transitions in RbNO 3 and CsNO 3 is revealed. It is found that the phase IV+III transition in RbNO 3 and the phase II+I transition in CsNO 3 are initiated by the in-plane and out-of-plane rotations of the NO 3 ions, and the phase III+II+I transitions in RbNO 3 are due to dilation along a trigonal axis of phase III, giving phase II a rhombohedral structure.
