Abstract

The possibility of employing the hard sphere model in studies of real, stable, inert-gas crystals is considered. On the basis of the firmly established phase transition criterion for a model system the stability curve of a real crystal is found, with attractive forces considered by first-order perturbation theory. The result obtained is compared with experiment.
