XC. The influence of zero-point energy on the thermodynamic properties of the low boiling point elements

J. S. Dugdale, D. K. C. MacDonald

Abstract

The internal energy and molar volume at absolute zero and the characteristic temperature of the inert gas solids, together with solid hydrogen and deuterium, are calculated taking account of zero-point energy. It is found that to a good approximation a law of corresponding states is valid and the consequences of this are discussed.
