We have used a method for determining volume dependence of the Grüneisen parameter in the Lindemann law to study the pressure dependence of melting temperatures in case of 10 metals viz. Cu, Mg, Pb, Al, In, Cd, Zn, Au, Ag and Mn. The reciprocal gamma relationship has been used to estimate the values of Grüneisen parameters at different volumes. The results for melting temperatures of metals at high pressures obtained in this study using the Lindemann law of melting are compared with the available experimental data and also with the values calculated from the instability model based on a thermal equation of state. The analytical model used in this study is much simpler than the accurate DFT calculations and molecular dynamics.

We have determined the melting slopes as a function of pressure for MgO up to a pressure of 135 GPa, and for LiF up to a pressure of 100 GPa using the Lindemann law. Values of melting temperature have also been calculated from the melting slopes using Euler’s finite difference calculus method. It is found that the melting slope decreases continuously with the increase in pressure giving a nonlinear pressure dependence of the melting temperature. Values of bulk modulus and the Grüneisen parameter appearing in the Lindemann law of melting have been determined using the Stacey reciprocal K-primed equation of state and the Shanker reciprocal gamma relationship. The results for melting temperatures of MgO and LiF at different pressures are compared with the available experimental data. Values of melting temperatures at different pressures determined from the Al’tshuler relationship for the volume dependence of the Grüneisen parameter have also been included in the comparison presented.

The ability to perform neutron diffraction studies at simultaneous high pressures and high temperatures is a relatively recent development. The suitability of this technique for determiningP–V–Tequations of state has been investigated by measuring the lattice parameters of Mg1−xFexO (x= 0.2, 0.3, 0.4), in the rangeP < 10.3 GPa and 300 <T< 986 K, by time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction. Pressures were determined using metallic Fe as a marker and temperatures were measured by neutron absorption resonance radiography. Within the resolution of the experiment, no evidence was found for any change in the temperature derivative of the isothermal incompressibility, ∂KT/∂T, with composition. By assuming that the equation-of-state parameters either varied linearly or were invariant with composition, the 60 measured state points were fitted simultaneously to aP–V–T–xequation of state, leading to values of ∂KT/∂T= −0.024 (9) GPa K−1and of the isothermal Anderson–Grüneisen parameter δT= 4.0 (16) at 300 K. Two designs of simultaneous high-P/Tcell were employed during this study. It appears that, by virtue of its extended pressure range, a design using toroidal gaskets is more suitable for equation-of-state studies than is the system described by Le Godec, Dove, Francis, Kohn, Marshall, Pawley, Price, Redfern, Rhodes, Ross, Schofield, Schooneveld, Syfosse, Tucker & Welch [Mineral. Mag.(2001),65, 737–748].

The improved Tosi–Fumi pair potential has been employed to simulate the melting behavior and Grüneisen parameters of sodium chloride ( NaCl ) using molecular dynamics (MD) method at constant volume. The melting curve of NaCl is compared with the experimental data and other calculations in a pressure range from 0 to 144 GPa. The simulated results validate the amount of 20% superheating of the NaCl solid and yield an approximate power law dependence of the Grüneisen parameter (γ) on compression γ = γ0(V/V0)q, with q ≈ 1.078, in the temperature range from 298 to 1073 K and pressure range from 0 to 60 GPa.

Some attempts for getting Grüneisen parameter are discussed. After comparing, the Grüneisen parameter got from Grüneisen EOS and Vinet EOS is consistent with the experimental data. However, we are not sure which method can describe the behavior of the Grüneisen parameter good under high pressures, because of the lack of directly measured data for Grüneisen parameter under high pressures. So, the technology for directly measuring Grüneisen parameter should be developed for clarifying this problem by experiments.

ABSTRACTWe have further developed and applied a new non-empirical tight-binding total energy model to properties of Si, Xe, and Fe at high pressures. We have studied elasticity of various phases of each of these, demonstrating that the new model is applicable to a wide range of materials, including semiconductors, rare gases, and transition metals. We have used the particle-in-a-cell method to study the thermal equation of state of hep Fe and find excellent agreement with the shock equation of state. A molecular dynamics code has been developed based on this method, and we have studied the properties of Fe liquid at high pressures.

The present paper proposes a new empirical relationship to predict the values of volume dependence of the Gruneisen parameter. ε- Fe , NaCl , Li , Na and K in different pressure ranges have been employed to test the reliability of the model. The obtained results indicate that the model is reliable due to a good agreement between calculated results and the experimental data. Based on this modified model, the temperature dependence of thermal pressure for NaCl is also examined.
