Band properties of inert-gas crystals at high pressures

The dependence of band properties on the compression of a crystal is studied with allowance for the polarization contribution to the energy; this contribution, which has hitherto been neglected, considerably facilitates the transition to the metallic state. We show that ionization of the surface layer in contact with another substance is possible (at a lower degree of compression).
