A self-consistent phonon approximation that includes odd-order anharmonic terms is found to give improvement over the usual lowest-order self-consistent phonon approximation when applied to computation of several properties of crystalline Ne and Ar. At low temperatures the improved theory joins smoothly onto the results of conventional perturbation theory.
