A. Zaoui et al., THE IONICITY CHARACTER SEEN BY THE CHARGE-DENSITY IN COPPER HALIDES, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 192(1), 1995, pp. 101-107
The electronic charge densities of copper halides CuX (X = Cl, Br, I)
are calculated using the nonlocal empirical pseudopotential method in
order to obtain their ionicities. The resulting ionicity values are co
mpared with those of the Phillips scale. A favorable agreement is foun
