STUDIES ON TALLON’S EQUATION OF STATE FOR ALKALI-HALIDES AT HIGH TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE

ABSTRACT

Properties of solids under the effect of high pressure and high temperature provide valuable information for understanding the thermodynamic behavior. Thus theoretical studies play an important role in advancing our knowledge of high pressure-high temperature physics of solids. The high pressure behavior of various solids can only be well understood if we have data on the bulk modulus as a function of pressure. In order to study the equation of state and thermodynamic properties at simultaneously elevated pressure and temperature, we have to introduce certain modifications in Murnaghan and Birch’s equation of state.
