The empirical linear relation between volume and logarithm of bulk modulus, discovered by Grover, Getting and Kennedy, is taken as the basis for a new pressureÈvolume equation of state. This linear relation and the equation of state have the same two substance-dependent parameters, the values of which can be derived from low-pressure data. For MgO, in the temperature range 100È3100 K and the pressure range 0È225 GPa, it is shown that the new methodology allows the careful calculation of high-pressure thermodynamic properties : all available experimental data are reproduced with great precision.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
