Abstract

Using our theory of correlation effects in quantum crystals, which was originally developed to calculate the properties of solid helium, we obtain the ground-state energy and pressure of solid hydrogen for molar volumes in the range 24-10 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{3}$. The results are applied to a determination of the effect of zero-point motion on the intermolecular interaction and on the $\ensuremath{\lambda}$-transition temperature. The crystal field is also discussed.
