Abstract
We have studied the pressure-volume-temperature relationship of graphite up to pressures of 6 GPa and temperatures up to 1250 K. Neutron powder diffractograms were collected on the PEARL/HiPr diffractometer at ISIS/Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK). The heatable Paris-Edinburgh cell was employed. Temperature was measured by neutron resonance absorption spectroscopy. The pressure was obtained from an internal MgO standard. The Rietveld-refined data were fitted with several equation of states. The best fit is obtained with B=38 GPa, B′ =∂B∂P=9 and a temperature derivative ∂B∂T=-0.002 GPa K-1. These values are compared to data obtained earlier from diffraction measurements and ultrasound spectroscopy.
