Extract

Thermodynamic properties of materials above a few hundred KBars can normally be obtained only by dynamic techniques which have the associated difficulty (from the theoretical point of view) that the high pressure states are usually also at quite high temperatures. Thus, it is important to obtain accurate estimates of the thermal contribution to the thermodynamic functions. Within the pair potential model of solids, these thermal contributions may be determined by a self-consistent phonon approximation, but this is generally a very complicated calculation. Numerous approximate methods have thus been developed to estimate the thermal contribution to the thermodynamic functions [1].
