Equations of state of Al, Au, Cu, Pt, Ta, and W and revised ruby pressure scale

Abstract

line shift ofruby luminescence, has been reconsidered. The well-known ruby scale of Mao et al. [5], which was cali-brated using room-temperature isotherms of Cu and Agreduced from shock-wave data of Carter et al. [6], hasbeen significantly shifted towards the ruby pressurescale of Aleksandrov et al. [7], based on an a prioriequation of state of diamond. Various functional depen-dences of pressure on the
