Area of Science:

  • Inorganic Chemistry
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Lattice energy estimation is crucial for understanding ionic materials.
  • Traditional methods often involve complex computations.
  • A simpler, experimentally accessible approach is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a straightforward method for estimating the lattice energy of ionic materials.
