Abstract
Changes in zone structure of inert gas crystals with pressure are studied. The zone structure of solid Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe are calculated over a wide pressure range using the combined plane wave method. Stability limits of the basic dielectric phase are determined by overlap of direct gaps in the electron spectrum with pressure increase. No loss of stability upon transition to the metallic state was observed.
