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

p(V)=-\beta \left({\frac {V}{V_{0}}}\right)^{n}\ln \left({\frac {V}{V_{0}}}\right)

.

Integration of $p(V)$ leads to the equation of state for the total energy. The energy $E$ required to compress a solid to volume $V$ is

E(V)=-\int _{V}^{\infty }p(V^{\prime })dV^{\prime }

which gives

E(V)={\frac {\beta V_{0}}{n+1}}\left({\frac {V}{V_{0}}}\right)^{n+1}\left[\ln \left({\frac {V}{V_{0}}}\right)-{\frac {1}{n+1}}\right]-E_{\infty }

.

The fitting parameters $\beta ,n$ and $V_{0}$ are related to material properties, where

\beta

is the bulk modulus

K_{0}

at equilibrium volume

V_{0}

.

n

correlates with the Grüneisen parameter

n=-{\frac {1}{6}}-\gamma _{G}

.^[2]^[3]

However, the fitting parameter $E_{\infty }$ 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]
