Martínez Herrero and R. Brito for stimulating discussions. This work has been supported by the Dirección General de Investigación Científica y Técnica (DGICYT, Spain) (Grant No. PB94-0265).The real space version of the modified weighted density approximation is investigated in order to determine the effective liquid density that is used to represent a face centered cubic hard-sphere solid. It is shown that above a threshold average density of the solid the theory is unable to predict the existence of the crystal phase.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.55.3720http://pre.aps.org/restricted access536Stabilize Arbitrary SolidsFunctional TheoriesAbilityTermodinámica2213 Termodinámica
