High-Pressure Equation Of State For Nacl, Kcl, And Cscl, Daniel L. Decker Jul 1971

High-Pressure Equation Of State For Nacl, Kcl, And Cscl, Daniel L. Decker

Faculty Publications

A calculation of the equation of state for NaCl from a Mie-Grüneisen equation was repeated using more accurate values of the zero-pressure compressibility. It was also extended to KCl and CsCl. An analysis of this approach to pressure calibration indicates that it will yield pressures with about the same accuracy as can be presently achieved by experimental measurements above 25 kbar, and thus furnishes a temporary practical pressure scale.


Lamb-Mössbauer Factor Of Sodium Ferrocyanide, Daniel L. Decker, L. E. Lortz Feb 1971

Lamb-Mössbauer Factor Of Sodium Ferrocyanide, Daniel L. Decker, L. E. Lortz

Faculty Publications

Using a set of commercially prepared sodium ferrocyanide absorbers enriched to 91.2% Fe57 the Lamb-Mössbauer factor was measured to be 0.28±0.03. The thickness of Fe57 for these absorbers was measured using x-ray absorption techniques and was found to be considerably smaller than that advertised by the manufacturer even after correcting for the size of the ferrocyanide particles in the absorbers.
