Popis: The phase transition in TlN 3 is simulated based on the potentials calculated from the Gordon-Kim modified electron gas model extended to ion molecular crystals. It is found that TlN 3 transforms into a cubic CsCl structure at high temperature due to the rotations of the N 3 ions. Above the phase transition the orientations of the N 3 − ions are random with four preferred orientations with respect to the cubic axes.
