In thepresentcommunicationwe showthat theenergylevel analysisyieldsconsistentvaluesof theelectronicpolarizabilitiesof individual ionsin crystalsof chalcogenidesof Zn andCd. It hasbeenpossibleto explainthe looseningof cationsandthetighteningof anionsin thecrystallinestaterelativeto thefree state.
FORMANY PURPOSESit is desirableto havereliable energyof the ion. Whentheion is transportedinto thevaluesof the electronicpolarizabilitiesof individual ions crystal from thefree state,theparameterE, andthein crystals.In highly ionic crystalslike alkali halides,the correspondingpolarizability is changed.Forcations,oneadditivity rule workswell andit is thereforepossibleto canwrite [4]derivea setof electronicpolarizabilitiesof individual e2h2nions [1, 2]. However,in crystalscomposedof divalent ~ + = 4~2m1E— eV ~2 (2)ionslike chalcogenides,theadditivity rule doesnot hold ~ 1 ml

It is thereforedesirableto explorean alternative cation.Vm is the Madelungpotentialexistingat themethodfor estimatingtheelectronicpolarizabilitiesof cationsite incrystal.An equationsimilar to (2) can,ionsin thesecrystals.The moststriking featureof the however,notbe usedfor anionsdue to a somewhatdif-electronicpolarizabilitiesis the fact that theseincrease ferentcase.In fact, the existenceof the excitationlevelsfor cationsanddecreasefor anionsin goingfrom free providesa contributionto theanionpolarizability in thestateto a crystal.Such changes,althoughsmall for crystalwhichhasno counterpartin the free state.Inalkali andhalogenions,are significantlylarge for the addition,quantumstatesabovethe first ionizationcon-chalcogenideionsasis evidentfrom theanalysisper- tinuumcontributesubstantiallyto the freeanion polar-formedby Tessmaneta!.
