The Griineisen Parameter of NaC1 at High Pressures and Temperatures： a Molecular Dynamics Study

The isotherms and Grǖneisen parameters are calculated by using the molecular dynamics (MD) method with an improved Tosi-Fumi pair potential. The results show that the approximate power law dependence of the Grǖneisen parameter on compression γ=γ0（V/V0）^q, with q≈1.078, holds in the temperature range from 298 to 1073K and pressure range from 0 to 60 GPa, and that the Grfineisen parameter for a given density of 2.16 g/cm^3 varies with temperature in a wind range from 300 to I O000 K, expressed by γ=1.052 0.582exp(-T/ 4878.56).
