The development of the effective potential theory

G.K. Horton, D. Acocella and E.Roger Cowley

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1996, vol. 232, issue 3, 625-632

Abstract: Recent progress in lattice dynamics, based on the path integral formulation of statistical mechanics, is reviewed from a historical perspective. The improved effective potential theory is described and a detailed application to solid Ne is presented. The work is based on a nearest neighbor Mie-Lennard-Jones potential and contact is made with earlier theories based on the same potential.
