N2  - In this paper we give the results of computing the third virial coefficient and the cohesive energy of the crystal for argon taking into account the higher-order multipole terms in the long-range three- body interaction as recently calculated by Bell. The Barker-Pompe potential has been used as the two-body potential function. We find that the third virial coefficient values for argon computed with this more complete non-additive energy function agree very much better with the experimental values than when only the triple-dipole term is used. This is particularly true at lower temperatures. The results also show that better agreement would be obtained if some form of repulsive non- addivity were included in the computation. For the cohesive energy of the crystal we find that the dipole-dipole-quadrupole energy is one-third as large as the triple-dipole energy and so cannot be neglected in these lattice computations. Furthermore, we find that these higher- order three-body forces do not stabilize the face-centred-cubic lattice for argon, the hexagonal-close-packed lattice having a slightly lower energy.
