Analytical formulas are derived for the zero-point vibrational
energy and anharmonicity corrections of the cohesive energy and the
mode Grüneisen parameter within the Einstein model for the
cubic lattices (sc, bcc, and fcc) and for the hexagonal close-packed
structure. This extends the work done by Lennard-Jones and Ingham
in 1924, Corner in 1939, and Wallace in 1965. The formulas are based
on the description of two-body energy contributions by an inverse
power expansion (extended Lennard-Jones potential). These make use
of three-dimensional lattice sums, which can be transformed to fast
converging series and accurately determined by various expansion techniques.
We apply these new lattice sum expressions to the rare gas solids
and discuss associated critical points. The derived formulas give
qualitative but nevertheless deep insight into vibrational effects
in solids from the lightest (helium) to the heaviest rare gas element
(oganesson), both presenting special cases because of strong quantum
effects for the former and strong relativistic effects for the latter.
