Abstract

This study presents a new, innovative exponential equation of state (EOS) that can be applied in different orders, from first through fourth, aiming to improve prediction accuracy across various levels of material compression. The significance of this new exponential EOS lies in its ability to accurately predict material behaviour under high compression, a crucial aspect in high-pressure physics. A thorough and detailed analysis compares this new exponential EOS to the well-known fourth-order Birch-Murnaghan EOS. The comparison shows that the exponential EOS matches and often outperforms the Birch-Murnaghan EOS, especially at higher compression levels. This is particularly important because the fourth-order exponential EOS proves highly accurate for materials like hexagonal close-packed (HCP) iron and sodium halides under high compression. In contrast, while the Birch-Murnaghan EOS performs adequately at lower compressions, it tends to deviate from experimental data as compression increases.Additionally, the study reviews the Shanker EOS. It acknowledges the work of M. Kumar and colleagues, who noted its limitations at high compression levels and proposed necessary parameter adjustments for different materials. These issues have been addressed by the new fourth-order exponential EOS, which is more adaptable and provides consistent and reliable results across both low and high-compression ranges, making it a valuable tool in high-pressure physics.
