Abstract The approximate method to treat the practical quantum anharmonic solids proposed by Hardy, Lacks and Shukla is reformulated with explicit physical meanings. It is shown that the quantum effect is important at low temperature, it can be treated in the harmonic framework; and the anharmonic effect is important at high temperature and tends to zero at low temperature, it can be treated by using a classical approximation. The alternative formulation is easier for various applications, and is applied to a Debye-Grüneisen solid with the generalized Lennard-Jones intermolecular interaction. The expressions for the Debye temperature and Grüneisen parameter as a function of volume are analytically derived. The analytic equation of state is applied to predict the thermodynamic properties of solid xenon at normal-pressure with the nearest-neighbour Lennard-Jones interaction, and is further applied to research the properties of solid xenon and krypton at high pressure by using an all-neighbour Lennard-Jones interaction. The theoretical results are in agreement with the experiments.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
