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

[math]\displaystyle{ p(V) = - \beta \left(\frac{V}{V_0}\right)^n \ln\left(\frac{V}{V_0}\right) }[/math].

Integration of [math]\displaystyle{ p(V) }[/math] leads to equation of the state for the total energy. The energy [math]\displaystyle{ E }[/math] required to compress a solid to volume [math]\displaystyle{ V }[/math] is

[math]\displaystyle{ E(V) = - \int_V^\infty p(V^\prime) dV^\prime }[/math]

which gives

[math]\displaystyle{ 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 }[/math].

The fitting parameters [math]\displaystyle{ \beta, n }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ V_0 }[/math] are related to material properties, where

[math]\displaystyle{ \beta }[/math] is the bulk modulus [math]\displaystyle{ K_0 }[/math] at equilibrium volume [math]\displaystyle{ V_0 }[/math].
[math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math] correlates with the Grüneisen parameter [math]\displaystyle{ n = -\frac{1}{6} - \gamma_G }[/math].[2][3]

However, the fitting parameter [math]\displaystyle{ E_\infty }[/math] 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]
