On pressure dependence of the relative compression (V/V0) at room temperature for the solids : copper and lead as prototypes

Abstract

A correction term has been introduced in the usual Tait’s equation of state (EOS) and then used to predict the pressure dependence of the thermal compression for the solids : copper (Cu) and lead (Pb). The predictive capabilities of the complete EOS are discussed. The results obtained from the modified Usual Tait’s equation of state are found closer to the available experimental data as compared to those values achieved without taking into account the correction factor in the original Tait’s equation of state.Author Affiliation: Deepika Kandpal, K Y Singh and B R K Gupta 1.Department of Physics, G.
