Title: High-pressure ion-thermal properties of metals from ab initio interatomic potentials

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5455890

It has recently become possible for the first time to calculate ab initio two-ion and three-ion interatomic potentials in d-electron transition metals. The nature of these potentials for the 3d series metals is discussed. In the case of copper, where three-ion contributions may be neglected, application is made to the ion-thermal component of the equation of state and to the calculation of melting on the shock Hugoniot. 13 refs., 3 figs.
