Absence of diagonal force constants in cubic Coulomb crystals

The quasi-harmonic model proposes that a crystal can be modelled as atoms connected by springs. We demonstrate how this viewpoint can be misleading: a simple application of Gauss’s law shows that the ion–ion potential for a cubic Coulomb system can have no diagonal harmonic contribution and so canno...
