A computer calcn. of the absorption and emission energies of solid Ne was performed; the effect of pressure shifts the lines to higher energies. The results at zero pressure stress the importance of zero point motion in a Ne crystals and the need for improved potential curves. [on SciFinder (R)]text::book/monograph::book part or chapter
