Our recent perturbation theory is applied to show that heavy rare gases solidify into a face-centered-cubic phase over a large temperature range near the melting lines. We have investigated the static, harmonic, and anharmonic contributions to the excess Helmholtz free energy and the stability to the face-centered-cubic phase. The observed stability is due to thermal contributions in the Helmholtz free energy.
