Study of sulfur α-S8 crystals with an anisotropic inter-molecular potential model Original Research Article

An anisotropic atom–atom inter-molecular potential model is used to study the α-S8 phase of this elemental sulfur compound. Comparisons with the results obtained in previous papers , using an isotropic model are performed. The possible existence of a monoclinic α′-S8 polymorph is discussed.
