Equations of state of simple solids (Including pb, NaCl and LiF) compressed in Helium or Neon in the Mbar range

Abstract

The equations of state measured under ambient temperature in the Mbar range are reviewed, focusing on experiments using diamond anvils cells with a quasi-hydrostatic pressure transmitting medium (helium or neon) and coupled with X-ray diffraction. Equations of state (EoS) parameters are listed with an unified pressure metrology for all data. This metrology is based on the efforts made in the 2000s to update the ruby luminescence pressure scale, after the collection of original data. To complete this database, unpublished P-V data for lead (Pb), sodium chloride (NaCl) and lithium fluoride (LiF) are also provided with the same metrology. Systematic effects of the pressure metrology on the EoS parameters are discussed.
