Many-body interactions and high-pressure equations of state in rare-gas solids

The T=0K equations of state (EOS) of rare-gas solids (RGS) (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe) are calculated in the experimentally studied ranges of pressures with the two- and three-body interatomic forces taken into account. Solid-state corrections to the pure two-body Aziz et al. potentials included the long-range Axilrod–Teller three-body interaction and short-range three-body exchange interaction. The energy-scale and length-scale parameters of the latter were taken as adjustable parameters of theory. The calculated T=0K EOS for all RGS are in excellent agreement with experiment in the whole range of pressures. The calculated EOS for Ar, Kr, and Xe exhibit inflection points where the isothermal bulk moduli have non-physical maxima, indicating that account of only three-body forces becomes insufficient. These points lie at pressures 250, 200, and 175GPa (volume compressions of approximately 4.8, 4.1, and 3.6) for Ar, Kr, and Xe, respectively. No such points were found in the calculated EOS of He and Ne. The rel...

Broken Symmetry Phase Transition in Solid HD: Quantum Behavior at Very High Pressures

The broken symmetry phase (BSP) transition in solid HD has been shown to be an example of quantum orientational melting. Anomalous features observed for the transition are a consequence of the symmetry properties of the system, namely, the fact that in HD all rotational states and transitions between them are allowed, in contrast to the behavior of the homonuclear H2 and D2.
