Abstract
We have used a method for determining volume dependence of the Grüneisen parameter in the Lindemann law to study the pressure dependence of melting temperatures in case of 10 metals viz. Cu, Mg, Pb, Al, In, Cd, Zn, Au, Ag and Mn. The reciprocal gamma relationship has been used to estimate the values of Grüneisen parameters at different volumes. The results for melting temperatures of metals at high pressures obtained in this study using the Lindemann law of melting are compared with the available experimental data and also with the values calculated from the instability model based on a thermal equation of state. The analytical model used in this study is much simpler than the accurate DFT calculations and molecular dynamics.
