| Beschreibung: | We started our work on theoretical methods in the physics of high pressures (in connection with geophysical applications) in 1956, and we immediately encountered many problems. Naturally, we searched the published Literature for solutions to these problems but whenever we failed to find a solution or when the solution did not satisfy us, we attempted to solve the problem ourselves. We realized that other investigators working in the physics of high pressures would probably encounter the same problems and doubts. Therefore, we decided to write this book in order to save our colleagues time and effort. Apart from the descriptions of experimental methods, the book deals only with those problems which we encountered in our own work. All problems in high-pressure physics have, at present, only approximate solutions, which are very rough. Therefore, it is not surprising that different investigators approach the same problems in different ways. Our approach does not prejudge the issue and we are fully aware that there are other points of view. Our aim was always to solve a given problem on a physical basis. For example, the concept of the Grüneisenparameter needs further development but it is based on reliable physical ideas. On the other hand, Simon's equation for the melting curve has, in our opinion, no clear physical basis and is purely empirical. Equations of this type are useful in systematic presentation of the experimental material but they are unsuitable for any major extrapolation |
