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.


A Method For Measuring Magnetization To High Pressures, C. R. Johansen, Mark H. Nelson, J. H. Gardner Mar 1968

A Method For Measuring Magnetization To High Pressures, C. R. Johansen, Mark H. Nelson, J. H. Gardner

Faculty Publications

A partially successful attempt has been made to measure the magnetic moment per unit volume of ferromagnetic materials as a function of pressure to the 100-kbar region. The apparatus, an early version of which has been described previously, consists basically of two opposed Bridgman flat anvils of alumina. One anvil also acts as a dielectric-filled microwave resonant cavity for an x-band spectrometer, allowing electron spin resonance studies to be made to high pressure. The sample to be studied is placed in contact with the anvil-cavity and covered with a pressure-transmitting medium which in turn is encircled by a flat pyrophyllite …


Very High Pressure Effects Upon The Epr Spectrum Of Ruby, H. Mark Nelson, D. B. Larson, J. H. Gardner Sep 1967

Very High Pressure Effects Upon The Epr Spectrum Of Ruby, H. Mark Nelson, D. B. Larson, J. H. Gardner

Faculty Publications

The variation in the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum of ruby as a function of pressure has been observed to beyond 70 kbar for a magnetic field orientation parallel to the crystalline c axis. The data can be interpreted in terms of the usual spin Hamiltonian, where the spectroscopic splitting factor g|| has the same value as at ambient pressures, but where the zero-field splitting deltaincreases in a linear fashion from 0.38 to 0.43 cm. The experimental apparatus has been described previously, although important improvements in the pressure seal and in the pressure calibration have been made and are described …


Equation Of State Of Sodium Chloride, Daniel L. Decker Dec 1966

Equation Of State Of Sodium Chloride, Daniel L. Decker

Faculty Publications

Because of many requests, I wish to publish the following numerical table of results for the equation of state of NaCl as calculated in an earlier paper1 along with a few comments on various proposed equations for NaCl. Table I gives the pressure in kilobars at the corresponding values of t.a/ao and temperature in the appropriate row and column. The parameter t.a/ao is the fractional compression of the lattice parameter where the standard value ao is the appropriate lattice parameter at zero pressure and 25°C. The increments between the values given in the table were chosen such that one can …
