Abstract
The phase transition in TlN3 is simulated based on the potentials calculated from the Gordon-Kim modified electron gas model extended to ion molecular crystals. It is found that TlN3 transforms into a cubic CsCl structure at high temperature due to the rotations of the N3 ions. Above the phase transition the orientations of the N3- ions are random with four preferred orientations with respect to the cubic axes.
