International Journal of Thermophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A high-temperature equation of state (EoS) for alpha-alumina (corundum) with a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) lattice was derived herein using experimental data on the thermodynamic properties, thermal expansion, compressibility and temperature-dependent bulk compression modulus. The experimental data were co-optimized using the temperature-dependent Tait equation over a pressure range from 0 to 1677 kbar and over a temperature range from 20 to 2327 K. The temperature dependence of thermodynamic and thermophysical parameters was fitted by an extended Einstein model. For the Tait equation, the isothermal bulk compression modulus and its pressure derivative at 0 K were estimated to be 2570.3 kbar and 4.1944, respectively. The temperature derivative of the bulk compression modulus was estimated to be 2.10·10–4 K–1. The obtained EoS provides a good fit to the whole set of the experimental data within the measurement error of individual parameters.
