On the K-dependence of the electrical field in a crystalline slab of oscillating charges

Abstract

The short range part of the electric field of a crystalline slab array of oscillating charges (a) is related to the Ewald sum and (b) can be represented by a rapidly convergent trigonometric series involving the wave vector K. Values for the coefficients of the first few terms of this series are reported for lattice sites in the sc, fcc, bcc, NaCl, CsCl structures and the symmetry directions (1,0,0), (1,1,0), (1,1,1).
