Helmholtz energy of ice VII–X is determined in a pressure regime extending to 450 GPa at 300 K using local-basis-functions in the form of b-splines. The new representation for the equation of state is embedded in a physics-based inverse theory framework of parameter estimation. Selected pressures as a function of volume from 14 prior experimental studies and two theoretical studies constrain the behavior of Helmholtz energy. Separately measured bulk moduli, not used to construct the representation, are accurately replicated below about 20 GPa and above 60 GPa. In the intermediate range of pressure, the experimentally determined moduli are larger and have greater scatter than values predicted using the Helmholtz representation. Although systematic error in the determination of elastic moduli is possible and likely, the alternative hypothesis is a slow relaxation time associated with changes in proton mobility or the ice VII to X transition. A correlation is observed between anomalies in the pressure derivative of the predicted bulk modulus and previously suggested higher-order phase transitions. Improved determinations of elastic properties at high pressure would allow refinement of the current equation of state. More generally, the current method of data assimilation is broadly applicable to other materials in high-pressure studies and for investigations of planetary interiors.

Polycrystalline Ni50Al50 suitable for high pressure studies was prepared by grinding and subsequent annealing of an inert-gas atomized alloy. The equation of state was determined by energy-dispersive x-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell to 25 GPa. The bulk modulus Bo and the pressure derivative of the bulk modulus B′o were found to be Bo = 156 ± 3 GPa and B′o = 4.0 ± 0.5.

The present study deals with the elastic behaviour of diborides (BeB2, MgB2 and NbB2) under high pressure with the help of equation of state (EOS) using the elastic data reported by Islam et al. It is concluded that EOS, which are based either on quantum statistical model or  pseduopotential model, only are capable of explaining high pressure behaviour of the solids under study.  Moreover the value of first order pressure derivative of bulk modulus at infinite pressure (Kinfinity) is greater than 5/3 and thus the diborides under study do not behave as Thomas-Fermi electron gas under high compression. Keywords: Equation of state; High Pressure; Diborides. © 2009 JSR Publications.

This paper discusses the trends in the experimental studies of molecular organic solids at high pressures by diffraction techniques. Crystallization of liquids, crystallization from solutions and solid-state transformations are considered. Special attention is paid to the high-pressure studies of pharmaceuticals and of biomimetics.

AbstractThe equation of state of δ-AlOOH was investigated using powder X-ray diffraction up to 17 GPa. Measurement of the volume at 300 K gave a value of the bulk modulus of K0 = 124(2) GPa, whereas its pressure derivative was K’ = 13.5(7). The b axis of the unit cell is more compressible than the a and c axes – in agreement with a neutron diffraction study at high pressure by Sano-Furukawa et al. (2008). Measurements presented here show that δ-AlOOH has a compressibility 200% higher than in the previously reported equation of state by Vanpeteghem et al. (2002).

Abstract. Tibet, which is characterized by collisional orogens, has undergone the process of delamination or convective removal. The lower crust and mantle lithosphere appear to have been removed through delamination during orogenic development. Numerical and analog experiments demonstrate that the metamorphic eclogitized oceanic subduction slab or lower crust may promote gravitational instability due to its increased density. The eclogitized oceanic subduction slab or crustal root is believed to be denser than the underlying mantle and tends to sink. However, the density of eclogite under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions and density differences from the surrounding mantle is not preciously constrained. Here, we offer new insights into the derivation of eclogite density with a single experiment to constrain delamination in Tibet. Using in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction combined with diamond anvil cell, experiments focused on minerals (garnet, omphacite, and epidote) of eclogite are conducted under simultaneous high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, which avoids systematic errors. Fitting the pressure-temperature-volume data with the third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, the thermal equation of state (EoS) parameters, including the bulk modulus (KT0), its pressure derivative (KT0′), the temperature derivative ((KT/T)P), and the thermal expansion coefficient (α0), are derived. The densities of rock-forming minerals and eclogite are modeled along with the geotherms of two types of delamination. The delamination processes of subduction slab breakoff and the removal of the eclogitized lower crust in Tibet are discussed. The Tibetan eclogite which containing 40–60 vol. % garnet and 37–64 % degrees of eclogitization can promote the delamination of slab break-off in Tibet. Our results indicate that eclogite is a major controlling factor in the initiation of delamination. A high abundance of garnet, a high Fe-content, and a high degree of eclogitization are more conducive to instigating the delamination.

The object of the present work is to study the equation of state (EOS) and the temperature dependence of the vibrational constant pressure heat capacity, the adiabatic bulk modulus Bs and the pressure derivative of the isothermal bulk modulus of cubic rock-salt Aluminum nitride under high pressure up to 100 GPa. In addition, the isothermal bulk modulus and the Debye temperature θD versus pressure at 1800 K are presented. Some structural and thermophysical properties used here are taken from our previous paper published in J. Electron. Mater. (2018) DOI: 10.1007/s11664-018-6169-x. The results obtained are analyzed and compared with other data of the literature.

ABSTRACTDuctile materials are difficult to powderize for use in high pressure work. The potential of different techniques (gas-atomization, mechanical alloying, ball milling and subsequent annealing) for preparing suitable powders of some aluminides is investigated. Compression of Ti46Al54 and NiAl prepared by these methods yields equation of state parameters in good agreement with determinations by other methods.
