MARK Department E. CAVALERI,~THOMAS G. PLYMATES and JAMES H. STOUT of Geology and Geophysics, (Received University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, 16 April 1987; accepted in revised form 3 December MN 55455, U.S.A. 1987) total of 36 molar volume determinations measured by energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction in a heated diamond-anvil pressure cell form the basis for a P-V-T equation of state for Sn@). Isothermal Mumaghan regressions for the 25, 100, 160, and 225°C subsets of these data yield - 1.38 (kO.13) x Ah&act-A lo-* GPa degree’ for (dK/aT),. The slopes of the Sri(b) isochores increase from approx. 235” GPa-’ at room pressure and temperature to 260” GPa-’ at the Sn triple point to 370” GPaa’ at the room temperature Sn(&Sn(bct) transition at 9.4GPa, indicating that the product apKr decreases with decreasing volume by more than 35% of its initial value. The a crystallographic direction is significantly less compressible and slightly less expandable than c; the extent of this anisotropic behavior decreases at simultaneously elevated pressure and temperature. A five-parameter temperature-corrected Murnaghan equation fits the entire data set well within the experimental error. This explicit V(T, P) equation is used to integrate literature heat capacity data to elevated pressure, yielding entropies and Gibbs energies for all pressures and temperatures within the Sn(j?) stability field. Keywordr: Sn(B), molar volume, pressure, temperature, INTRODUCTION The behavior of the molar volume of Sn(/?) is well understood as a function of pressure at room temperature [l-S] and as a function of temperature at room pressure [6,7]. Pressure-volume-temperature (P-V-T) equations of state based on such data commonly assume that the isothermal incompressibility, KT, does not depend on temperature, or, equivalently, that the isobaric expansivity, ap, does not depend on pressure. Isochores based on such an assumption consistently overestimate the molar volume of a homogeneous solid for all simultaneously elevated pressures and temperatures. Direct measurements of molar volume at simultaneously elevated pressure and temperature can now be. made in situ in a heated diamond-anvil pressure cell by energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD). The EDXRD method is ideally suited for this application because of the simple diffraction geometry and the relatively short data acquisition time. As a demonstration of the general utility of this technique, we present here a large body of P-V-T data for a material with a relatively simple structure and moderately high compressibility, Sn( /I). t This is publication number 1065 of the School of Earth Sciences, Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, U.S.A. $ Present address: Department of Geology, Macalester College, St. Paul, MN 55105, U.S.A. § Present address: Department of Geosciences, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield, MO 65804, U.S.A. X-ray diffraction, diamond anvil. The P-T stability relationships involving Sn( /3), Sn(bct) and Sn(melt) are quite simple; the positions of the single invariant point and the three univariant curves are all well established [&lo]. This communication is the first of two and is restricted to the homogeneous behavior of the low-pressure phase, Sn( /3). The second paper [l l] deals with the P-V-T behavior of the high-pressure polymorph and the volumeentropy systematics and heterogeneous equilibria of the entire Sn system. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE The experimental system used in this study is illustrated in Fig. 1. The design of the diamond-anvil pressure cell is from Mao and Bell [12, 131 and is capable of generating static pressures in excess of 100 GPa at room temperature (RT). Mechanical force is applied to the back of the l-in. diameter piston through a 5: 1 lever arm by means of a hydraulic hollow cylinder driven remotely by a handcrank hydraulic pump. This hydraulic system was designed specifically to avoid the application of any torque to the diamond-anvil cell which could change the diffraction angle during the course of a series of experiments [ 141. Finely powdered Sn(@ (J. T. Baker Chemical Company; 99.993% purity) was mixed with finely powdered KC1 (Baker Reagent Grade) as an internal pressure standard and loaded into a 250 pm hole drilled through the center of a pre-indented metal gasket (hardened T-301 stainless steel).

At the beginning of each experiment, the sample was approx. 100pm thick. Compression to 10 GPa typically thinned the sample by 50% or more and enlarged the diameter of the sample cavity to 300-4OOpm. The sample and admixed pressure standard are heated by two 20-watt resistance heaters which consist of 36 gauge chrome1 wire wound (on a thin coating of Rutland High-Temp Stove Gasket Cement) directly around the tool steel cups in which the diamonds are mounted. Thin shims of zirconium foil separate the diamonds from these cup heaters in order to reduce the effects of differential thermal expansion. An additional 140-watt resistance heater, wound with 30 gauge nichrome wire on a toroidshaped pyrophyllite core, encircles the inner cup heaters and provides background heating as needed (Fig. 1). The sample temperature is measured by a chromel-alumel microthermocouple (25 pm diameter bead) placed directly within the sample cavity. A second, larger chromel-alumel thermocouple (250 pm diameter bead) is mounted on the edge of the cylinder diamond as a monitor (Fig. 1). This monitor thermocouple was calibrated against the sample thermocouple at low pressure (co.5 GPa) at the start of each set of experiments so that very accurate estimates of the sample temperature could be made for experiments in which the sample thermocouple failed at elevated pressure. The thermal gradient over the 500pm distance between the sample and monitor thermocouples is directly proportional to the monitor thermocouple temperature and is typically no more than 20” at 250°C. In all cases, the temperatures reported in this paper are those at the location of the sample thermocouple. No corrections have been made for the effects of pressure on the e.m.f. of the sample thermocouple. The sample temperatures measured at elevated pressure agree well with those predicted by the monitor thermocouple calibrated at low pressure, consistent with the observation of Getting and Kennedy [ 151 that the effect of pressure on the e.m.f. of chromelalumel thermocouples is small. Furthermore, as Bassett [16] points out, no significant correction should be necessary in this type of application because the points at which the thermocouple leads enter the high-pressure zone are at very nearly the same temperature as the thermocouple junction. We are confident that the uncertainty in our reported sample temperatures, caused by the combination of the imprecision of the thermocouples and the temperature gradient across the irradiated portion of the sample, does not exceed f 2% of T - T,. The energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction spectrum of the sample and admixed pressure standard is collected in situ by a Si(Li) solid state X-ray energy detector. This detector is mounted on a horizontal goniometer table (vertical-axis of rotation) so that it can be positioned at the optimum diffraction angle 20 at the start of each set of experiments. The X-ray source is the unfiltered bremsstrahlung from the gold A pressure-volume-temperature equation of state for %I@) 941 both the sample material and the admixed pressure standard are then determined from these d-values.

The Xray flux produced by this type of source is approx. 10 times that from a conventional fixed-target X-ray generator. A gold target was chosen in order to avoid any interference from characteristic fluorescence peaks of the target material and to maximize the intensity of the bremsstrahlung in the 15-30 keV range, the energy range of maximum efficiency of the detector. In order to minimize the effect of pressure gradients across the compressed sample, the primary X-ray beam is collimated through a 125 pm gold pinhole centered in the piston, directly beneath the piston diamond (Fig. 1). The spectra are recorded and processed in 4096 channels of a multi-channel analyzer. Typically a usable spectrum can be collected in 60-90min, although data collection was occasionally extended to as much as 3 h per spectrum when the sample had become thinned significantly. A typical spectrum is reproduced in Fig. 2. The principal Sn( /I) diffraction peaks which were used to calculate the molar volumes, as well as the diffraction peaks of the internal pressure standard [KCl(I) in this example] and the Sn Ka and K/l fluorescence peaks, are all easily distinguished. With the aid of a Gaussian peak-fitting routine the centroid of a typical strong diffraction peak can be determined to within f5 eV. The d-value (interplanar spacing) of each diffraction is determined from the energy (E) of the peak centroid by using the energy-dispersive form of the Bragg relationship d.E = (h.c)/2.sinfI), where h is Planck’s constant and c is the speed of light. The lattice parameters and molar volumes of The criteria for choosing internal pressure standards for diamond-anvil X-ray diffraction studies are discussed at length elsewhere [17-191. The basic requirements of a good pressure standard for our application are (1) a simple, stable structure, characterized by a simple, strong X-ray diffraction pattern which does not interfere with the diffraction pattern of the sample material, (2) a well-established P-V-T equation of state from which the pressure may be calculated given the unit cell volume and temperature, and (3) a relatively high compressibility so that the pressure can be transmitted uniformly throughout the sample cavity and small changes in pressure can easily be detected by measurable changes in the unit cell volume. Unfortunately, there is no single material which, when used as the pressure standard for Sn(/I), would simultaneously satisfy all three of these criteria. NaCl, the most commonly used internal pressure standard, is not appropriate for this study because its two most intense X-ray diffraction peaks [(200) and (22011 interfere with the four most intense peaks [(200) + (101) and (220) + (21111 of Sn( /I). KC1 has no such interference with the Sn( /I) diffraction pattern and was therefore used as the pressure standard in this study. KC1 is one of the more compressible alkali halides (K, = 17 GPa) and thus should be a very good pressure transmitting medium. However, no elevatedtemperature P-V data for KC1 are currently available in the literature and, because of the significant solubility of NaCl and KC1 at elevated temperature, none are likely to be forthcoming in the near future [20]. Furthermore, KC1 transforms from the Bl (fee-NaCl) structure to the B2 (bcc-CsCl) structure at approx. 1.9 GPa [21], and thus two different equations of state are needed to span the pressure range of interest in this study. For our Sn + KC1 spectra collected within the stability field of KCl(I), we estimated the pressure from the theoretical P-V-T equation of state derived by Decker [22]. For our Sn + KC1 spectra collected within the stability field of KCl(II), the pressures were estimated as follows: first, a spectrum was collected at RT and the pressure was estimated from a Murnaghan regression of the RT compressibility data for KCl(II) from Yagi [20]. While holding the gauge pressure on the hydraulic system constant, the sample was heated and additional spectra were collected at the various elevated temperatures of interest. The pressure for these elevated-temperature spectra was assumed to be equal to that of the RT spectrum collected at the same gauge pressure. Although Plymate et al. [ll] show that an assumption of this type is not justified for spectra collected at temperatures above approx. 300°C repeated independent runs of this type using pure NaCl as the sample material confirmed that the MARK E.

KC1 phases are isometric, the a lattice parameter could be determined independently from each of these peaks, and these values were also checked for internal consistency before the molar volume of the pressure standard was calculated. The uncertainty associated with the resolution of our detector and related electronics, coupled with the uncertainty associated with our Gaussian peak-fitting routine, yields a total uncertainty of approx. rtO.O6% for each lattice parameter determination. The calculated molar volumes of both the Sn(/?) and the pressure standard phases therefore have an un~~ainty of approx. &0.18% (50.0018 V/V,,), consistent with the estimated uncertainty reported by Manghnani er al. [19] for a similar diamond-anvil-EDXRD system. This uncertainty in the molar volumes of the pressure standards, coupled with the uncertainties in the P-V-T relations used to estimate the pressure, produce a total uncertainty of approx. +3% in the pressure determinations reported in this paper. RESULTS sample pressure, as dete~ined by the Decker 1221 NaCl equation of state, does indeed remain very nearly isobaric (+0.2 GPa at 5 GPa) up to the 250°C temperature limit required for the present study. Volume measurements Cavaleri [23] discusses in detail the procedure for optimizing the precision and accuracy of lattice parameter measurements made by energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction through a diamond-anvil pressure ceil. Two of the more critical factors are (I) the diffraction angle 28, and (2) the relative amounts of sample and pressure standard loaded into the sample cavity. To eliminate interference with the fluorescence peaks of both the Sn and the Au X-ray target, and to maximize the intensity of the strongest diffraction peaks of both the Sn(j3) and the stable KC1 phase, we collected our Sn + KC1 spectra at 15” 28. At this angle, and with typical sample thicknesses of 50-100 pm, the optimum ratio of pressure standard to sample was found to be approx. 3: 1 by volume (approx. 0.8 KCl/Sn by mass). Sn(fl) is tetragonal (14,/amd) and therefore a minimum of two linearly independent diffraction peaks is needed to uniquely determine the lattice parameters and molar volume. At 15” 28 the (200), (IOI), (220) and (211) peaks all provide reliable centroid values. For each spectrum, separate a and c lattice parameters were computed from each independent pair of these peaks and the resulting values were checked for internal consistency before the molar volume of Sn(fi) was calculated. At this angle, usually either two or three peaks of the stable KC1 phase [(200), (220), k(222) for KCl(1) and (llO), (200), +(21 I) for KCl(II)] were also well enough developed to yield reliable centroids. Because both Tables 1 and 2 list our P-V-T data for Sri(B) derived respectively using KU(I) and KCl(I1) as the internal pressure standard and pressure transmitting medium. Of our 36 volume measurements, 17 were determined at simultaneously elevated temperature and pressure and are the first such data for Sn( fl) in the literature. Room temperature compressibility Figure 3 compares the RT subset of our data with the available literature RT compressibility studies [l-5]. Our volume determinations along this RT isotherm are internally consistent and are also quite consistent with the data of Bridgman fl, 2] and Vaiyda and Kennedy [4]. On the other hand, some of the volumes reported by Barnett et al. [3] appear to be a bit low while some of those reported by Liu and Liu [S], especially those determined at the highest pressures, appear to be a bit high. Table 3 compares the room pressure values of the isothermal bulk modulus, KT, for the various RT static compression studies with the ultrasonically determined K, values for Sn(fi) [24-26). The values of K, and its pressure derivative, K&, tabulated on the first six lines of Table 3 were determined by ieastsquares regression using an isothermal Murnaghan equation [27] of the form where the superscript “ “’ indicates differentiation with respect to the independent variable (in this case P). From these K, values it is clear that our RT volume determinations are consistent not only with the static compression studies of Bridgman [I, 21 and Vaiyda and Kennedy [4] but also with all of the available ultrasonic studies.

Because no elevated-temperature equation of state for KCl(I1) is available, the elevated-temperature data points were measured at the same gauge pressure as, and are therefore assumed to be isobaric with, the RT data point under which they are tabulated. $ The subscript “00” indicates evaluation at PO and T,, i.e. at atmospheric pressure and RT. The tabulated values for KCl(II) a are normalized to KCl(1) a, (0.62931 nm); Sri(g) a,.,, = 0.58316nm; Sn(/l) VW = 0.10819 nm3 unit cell-’ (1.6288 x 10-5m3m01-‘). equation of state for Sri(B) 949 This suggests that, at least in some applications, a relatively large amount of a very soft solid can provide a more-nearly hydrostatic pressure in a gasketed diamond-anvil sample than can a smaller proportion of a liquid pressure transmitting medium. Volume at simultaneously elevated pressure and temperature The effect of temperature on the isothermal compressibility of Sn(j?) can be seen by comparing the room pressure values of KT and K; derived by Murnaghan regressions along each of our four isotherms (Table 4). If we allow both K,,% and KG,,, to vary for each Mumaghan regression (top half of Table 4), linear regressions of the resulting parameter values yield -3.97( + 1.97) x 10m2GPa degree-’ for (dK/lJT), and +6.45 (k9.71) x 1O-3 degreee’ for (aK’/i?T),. Although the signs of both these parameters are correct (i.e. consistent with theoretical expectations), the standard deviation for the (dK’/ JT), determination clearly indicates that our data are not sufficiently precise to yield a reliable value for this parameter. Therefore, the second half of Table 4 lists the results of Murnaghan regressions for each of our isotherms derived with K;,, constrained to equal 4.0. The resulting linear regression yields - 1.38(f0.13) x 10m2GPa degree-i for (c?K/JT), (Fig. 4). This value is consistent with the average of the three available ultrasonic determinations of this parameter (Table 5). Figure 5 shows our entire Sri(B) data set plotted on a P-T phase diagram for the Sn system. The solid lines are isochores (contours of constant molar volume) and represent the smoothed average of the contours produced by three topographic contouring programs, each based on a slightly different linear interpolation algorithm. These isochores therefore provide an unbiased representation of the P-V-T variation in the Sri(B) data set, completely indepen- Because the heater configuration in our experimental setup does not allow for the loading of a liquid or gas pressure transmitting medium, we have relied upon our solid pressure standard (KC]) to serve this function as well. Liu and Liu [5], on the other hand, used both H,O and a methanol-ethanol mixture as pressure transmitting media in their RT experiments. The effect of non-hydrostaticity in a diamond-anvil cell such as ours (and such as the one used by Liu and Liu [5]) would be to produce X-ray lattice parameter measurements which are anomalously high. Because our high-pressure, RT Sn(/I) molar volume measurements are slightly lower than those of Liu and Liu [5], and because our measurements virtually coincide with those of Bridgman [ 1,2] and Vaiyda and Kennedy [4] made with largervolume devices’ in which non-hydrostaticity is less of a problem, we conclude that any non-hydrostatic effects in our measurements are essentially negligible.

The resulting Sn( /I) P-V-i” surface displays all of the general features of P-V-T surfaces expected from theoretical considerations. The surface is clearly concave upward throughout the Sn(j?) stability field, consistent with the expectation that a normal, homogeneous material should become less compressible with decreasing volume. Each Sn( /I) isochore in Fig. 5 is very nearly straight, and therefore the isochore slope at any given volume [(CJT/i?P),] is nearly constant. However, the slope of the Sn( 8) isochores increases markedly with decreasing volume, from approx. 235 degrees GPa-’ at RT and pressure (V/VW = 1.0) to approx. 260 degrees GPa-’ at the Sn triple point (308°C; 2.9 GPa; V/V, = 0.97) to approx. 370 degrees GPa-’ at the RT Sn(&Sn(bct) transition (9.4 GPa; V/V, = 0.87). The dashed lines on Fig. 5 are contours of constant (a/~~)~ drawn in the same manner as the isochores. The extent to which these contours deviate from the isochores is a measure of the anisotropic behavior of Sn(/3). Along the RT isotherm the contours of constant (a/~~)~ are clearly offset to higher pressure relative to the isochores. This behavior indicates that Sri(p) is less compressible along the a crystallographic direction than along c, an observation consistent with that of Barnett et al. [3]. Furthermore, the data also suggests that, along any low-pressure isobar, the (a/~,,,,)~ contours are offset to higher temperature relative to the isochores; thus the a crystallographic direction also appears to be less expandable than c. The convergence of the (~/a~)) contours with the isochores indicates that Sn(/I) becomes more nearly isotropic at simultaneously elevated temperature and pressure. DISCUSSION P-V-T equation of state for Sn(/?) One of the most common ways to estimate the P-V-T behavior of a material for which no highP-T volume data exist is to assume that the isothermal incompressibility KT is independent of T (or, equivalently, that the isobaric expansivity ap is independent of P) [28,29]. Isochores based on this assumption have strongly negative curvature ((a2 T/c?P~)~ + 0). Our experimentally-determined isochores (Fig. 5) reveal that this type of P-V-T equation would significantly overestimate the molar volume of Sn( fl) for all simultaneously-elevated temperatures and pressures within its stability field. Despite the limited temperature stability range of Sn( b), we can clearly detect the effect of temperature on the isothermal incompressibility (Fig. 4). Because (c?K/aT), is proportional to (a2 VIaTaP), we should expect that in order to adequately model the variation of the molar volume of Sn(& over its entire stability field we will need a P-V-T equation with A pressure-volume-temperature 951 equation of state for Sn(/?)

The resulting expression is basically a Murnaghan equation multiplied by an exponential temperature correctian.

The isochores shown on Fig. 5 are based on this equation (contoured in units of J MPa-’ mol-‘) and we use this equation in the subsequent calculations of various other thermodynamic properties of St@). Gibbs free energy of Sn( /I) We calculate the Gibbs free energy, G, from the expression T G(T, P) = Goo- SW, PO)dT s TO P + Entropy W, s PO of Sn( /?) Given an explicit equation for the molar volume of a homogeneous solid as a function of all P and T, all we need is an expression for heat capacity, Cr, as a function of T along a single isobar in order to calculate all of the remaining thermodynamic properties of that solid at any P and T. Robie et af. [33] tabulate C, as a function of T at atmospheric pressure for Sri(B) from RT to its melting point at 232°C. We calculate the entropy of Sn(fi) from the expression Substitution of an explicit expression for the temperature variation of the room pressure heat capacity (from Robie et al. [33]) into the first integral and substitution of the temperature derivative of our explicit V(T, P) expression [eqn (2)] into the second integral then allows us to determine S at any specified T and P. We have determined the entropy of Sn(fi) at various elevated temperatures and pressures by numerical integration of eqn (3). Figure 6 shows the resulting isentropes (contours of constant entropy), contoured in units of J deg-’ mol-’ . The entropy increases clearly with increasing temperature [(aS/aT), > O] and decreases with increasing pressure [(&S/a& < 01, consistent with our intuitive expectations. The fact that the temperature and pressure contributions to the entropy are opposite in sign requires that the isentropes, like the isochores, all have positive slope [(dT/aP), > O]. In contrast to the isochores, the isentropes are more nearly perpendicular to the temperature axis, reflecting the fact that entropy is more strongly dependent on temperature whereas volume is more strongly dependent on pressure. The spacing between the isentropes clearly increases both with increasing temperature and with increasing pressure. This behavior indicates that the entropy surface is concave downward along isobaric sections [(CJ2S/aT2), < 0] but concave upward along isothermal sections [(a*S/aP*~ > 01, consistent with theoretical expectations [34]. The curvature of the isentropes is negative throughout the Sn( /I) stability field [(a2T,k?P2), < 01, and the magnitude of this curvature increases with increasing entropy. Evaluation P)h dP.

We have determined the Gibbs free energy of Sn(/J) at various elevated temperatures and pressures, relative to G(T,, P,,) = 0.0 as the standard state, by numerical integration of eqn (4). Figure 7 shows the resulting contours of constant Gibbs energy for Sn(/J), contoured in units of kJ mol-' . To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to present an experimentally-dete~ined G(T, P) relationship for a solid phase over its entire stability field. A similarly determined G(T, P) relationship for all the other phases in any particular system would allow calculation of the P-T location of all heterogeneous (multi-phase) reactions within that system, regardless of their stability or kinetics and therefore regardless of whether those reactions can be traced experimentally. Such an analysis of the heterogeneous equilibria in the Sn system is the subject of the second paper in this series [II]. Our ex~~mentally-dete~ned Snf 8) free energy surface displays all of the general characteristics predicted by theory ]35,36]. The Gibbs energy clearly decreases with increasing temperature [(aG/D’), < 0] and increases with increasing pressure [(aClaP), > 01, consistent with the Second Law requirements that (aG/aT), = -S and (aclaP),= V. Like the isochores and isentropes, the Gibbs energy contours all have positive slope [(aTlaP), > 01, reflecting the fact that the temperature and pressure contributions to the Gibbs energy are opposite in sign. The spacing between the Gibbs energy contours clearly decreases with increasing tem~rature and increases with increasing pressure. This behavior indicates that the free energy surface is concave downward for all T and P, consistent with the Second Law requirements that (a*G/dT*), = - (a*c/a~*), = (aslaT), <0 and (avjap), < 0.

The solid contours represent the Gibbs energy (in units of kJ mot-’ relative to G(T,,, PO) = 0.0 as the standard state) as determined by numerical integration of eqn (4) using the room pressure heat capacity data from Robie el al. [33] and our five-parameter temperature-corrected Murnaghan V(T, P) eqn (2) with the regression parameter values from line 4 of Table 6. Also shown for comparison (dashed contours) is the Gibbs energy predicted by the assumption that molar volume is independent of both T and P (i.e. that V(T, P) = V,). As before, the contours are extended into the Sn(melt) and Sn(bct) stability fields only for the purpose of labeling. curvature of the Gibbs Energy contours is negative throughout the Sn(/?) stability field [(a2T/ dP2), < 01, and the magnitude of this curvature increases slightly with increasing G. To illustrate the effect on the Gibbs energy of the pressure and temperature variation of the molar volume, we also show on Fig. 7 contours of predicted Gibbs energy based on the assumption that molar volume is independent of both T and P (i.e. that V(T, P) = V,). Far-fetched as this assumption may seem, many studies that predict the equilibria among solids of geologic interest jncorporate precisely this The assumption [37,38]. As Fig. 7 shows, the error in the prediction of the Gibbs energy caused by this assumption exceeds 10 kJmol_’ at the RT Sn( fi)-Sn(bct) transition. The product apK, for Sn( 8) Anderson [39] (and numerous earlier papers) has suggested that for any solid above its Debye temperature, in general, the product of tlr and KT is nearly constant for all T and P.

Our Sri(p) P-V-T data can provide a convenient test of this assumption because the Debye temperature for Sri(B) is well below RT (approx. -75°C [24]). From the definitions of CQ,and Kr, a& = -(av/aT),/(av/aP), = (aP/aT),. (5) Therefore, V(i”, P) equations based on the assumption that ark’r is constant would predict isochores which are straight and parallel. As noted above, our ex~~mentally-dete~ined Sn( /3) isochores are very nearly straight, but they are distinctly not parallel; their slopes [(U/a&] increase significantly with decreasing volume. Substitution of the temperature and pressure derivatives of our explicit V(7; P) eqn (2) into expression (5) allows us to evaluate the product ar KT for Sn( /?) at simultaneously elevated temperatures and pressures. Figure 8 shows contours of arKr for Sn(& derived in this manner, normalized to the To, P,, value a,& = 4.223 x 10e3 GPa deg’. The value of this product decreases steadily with decreasing volume; the magnitude of this decrease exceeds 35% of the initial value at the RT Sn(~~Sn(~t) transition. One could argue, of course, that the behavior of a moderately compressible solid such as Sn(/?) is of little relevance for evaluating models for the behavior of the highly incompressible materials in planetary interiors; the bulk modulus of Sri(b) is a factor of 3 or 4 lower than the bulk moduli of the silicates and oxides of geophysical interest. On the other hand, the pressure and temperature ranges of geophysical interest are far more than 3 or 4 times greater than those represented by the P-T stability field of Sn( 8). Therefore, our data seem to suggest that thermodynamic models which assume a,& to be constant for planetary interiors may not be completely justified.
