Temperature-dependent lattice dynamics and equations of state of solid hydrogen

Abstract
A numerical computation of the temperature dependence of the pressure volume relations of fcc parahydrogen was carried out within a somewhat modified self-consistent phonon approximation. The effect of the hard core in the intermolecular potential was treated with a short-range correlation function. The hydrogen Hugoniot, specific heat, and average sound velocities were also calculated and comparison with experimental data was made where possible.
