46. On rare occasions we found that in the ground state the force components on some atoms were directed away from the fluctuating atom, but the magnitude of these forces would be very small. In the excited state these forces would keep their direction and increase in magnitude.

56. Our shell model predicts the Debye temperature for MgO to be (formula presented) (neglecting the effects of thermal volume expansion). An account of the lattice thermal expansion in the calculation would lower (formula presented) in closer agreement with experiment.
