Lattice Energy of Ionic Crystals

Abstract
Some recent data on the shock-wave compression of sodium chloride are used to obtain the equation of state and the volume dependence of some thermodynamical functions in the pressure range from 50 to 800 kilobars. Various possible expressions for the free energy are assumed and the results are discussed and compared between themselves and with the available experimental data. It is found that the data are not sufficient to make a decision in favor of any of the assumptions, because in all the cases the agreement with the available data is very good.
