Lennard-Jones parameters

Some Lennard-Jones parameters for neon are listed in the following table:

Authors	$\epsilon$ (meV)	$\sigma$ (nm)	Reference
Herrero	3.0840	0.2782
Ramírez and Herrero	3.2135	0.2782

Buckingham potential

The Buckingham potential for neon is given by (Eq. 26 ):

$E(r)=25.7\times 10^{-10}e^{-r/0.235}-9\times 10^{-12}r^{-6}$

where $E$ is in ergs ( 10⁻⁷ J) and $r$ in Å.

Phase diagram

The phase diagram for temperatures in the range of 17–50 K and pressures between 10⁻² and 2×10³ bar has been calculated in Ref. 2. The critical point was located at $T_{c}=46.7~{\mathrm {K} }$ and $p_{c}=27.7$ bar (Ref. 2 Table I), and the triple point at $T_{tp}=24.55~{\mathrm {K} }$ and $p_{tp}=0.315$ bar (Ref. 2 Table II).

Crystallization line

The structural regularities along the crystallization line has been studied by way of path integral Monte Carlo simulations and the Ornstein-Zernike pair equation .
