Application of [Lambda] to the fourth perturbation theory in calculating the equation of state of ra
We have calculated the thermodynamic properties of monatomic fcc
crystals from the high temperature limit of the Helmholtz free energy.
This equation of state included the static and vibrational energy
components. The latter contribution was calculated to order A4 of perturbation
theory, for a range of crystal volumes, in which a nearest
neighbour central force model was used. We have calculated the lattice
constant, the coefficient of volume expansion, the specific heat at
constant volume and a
