Anton–Schmidt equation of state

The Anton–Schmidt equation is an empirical equation of state for crystalline solids, e.g. for pure metals or intermetallic compounds.[1] Quantum mechanical investigations of intermetallic compounds show that the dependency of the pressure under isotropic deformation can be described empirically by

.

Integration of leads to the equation of state for the total energy. The energy required to compress a solid to volume is

which gives

.

The fitting parameters and are related to material properties, where

is the bulk modulus at equilibrium volume .
correlates with the Grüneisen parameter .[2][3]

However, the fitting parameter does not reproduce the total energy of the free atoms.[4]

The total energy equation is used to determine elastic and thermal material constants in quantum chemical simulation packages.[4][5]

The equation of state has been used in cosmological contexts to describe the dark energy dynamics.[6] However its use has been recently criticized since it appears disfavored than simpler equations of state adopted for the same purpose.[7]
