As a prototype of initial or intermediate structure somewhere in between the hcp and fcc lattices we consider a distorted bcc crystal. We calculate the temperature and pressure dependences of the lattice parameters for heavier rare gas solids Ar, Kr, Xe in the quasiharmonic approximation applying th...
