The formula which results is [see pdf for notation], in which h is Planck's constant. Computations and results are described for helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and copper. The methodology is then extended to homogeneous, diatomic molecular solids and results are described for H2, D2, N2, 02, and C12.	en
