Pressure dependence of the melting temperature of aluminum

Abstract

On the basis of Lindemann's law, the Debye model, and the assumption that the quantity αBT is constant above the Debye temperature, the melting temperature of aluminum was calculated for a wide range of pressure with the help of the P-V-T relationships based on the Chopelas-Boehler approximation. The calculated results of the melting temperature versus pressure are in good agreement with experimental values. © 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
