HIGH-PRESSURE PROPERTIES OF THE BCC PHASE OF SF(6) BASED UPON SPHERICALLY SMOOTHED INTERMOLECULAR POTENTIALS

Properties of solid SF6 at T = 0 K are investigated using different in termolecular potentials. These potentials were constructed from differ ent gas properties such as second virial coefficient, structural secon d virial coefficient and viscosity data without appeal to any solid st ate structural or spectroscopic data. A computer simulation study usin g a simple lattice sum, on a body centered cubic lattice, has been use d to obtain the sublimation energy, the equation of state and bulk mod ulus (which appear not to be reported before).
