TALLONS EQUATION OF STATE AND ITS APPLICABILITY TO ALKALI HALIDES

ABSTRACT

Experimental studies conducted so far have not been able to attain the high pressure and temperature conditions that exist in the earth’s lower mantle. Thus theoretical studies play an important role in advancing our knowledge of high pressure & temperature of solids. Such studies involve the use of various thermodynamic relations and approximations regarding the variation of thermal expansion coefficient, bulk modulus, Anderson-Gruneisen parameter and the other related parameters with pressure and temperature.
