A self-consistent thermodynamic model of metallic systems. Application for the description of gold
Abstract
A self-consistent thermodynamic model of metallic system is presented. The expression for the Gibbs energy is derived, which incorporates elastic (static) energy, vibrational energy within the Debye model, and electronic part in Hartee-Fock approximation. The elastic energy is introduced by a volume-dependent anharmonic potential. From the Gibbs energy all thermodynamic quantities, as well as the equation of state, are self-consistently obtained. The model is applied for the description of bulk gold in temperature range 0 ≤ T 1300K and external pressure up to 30 GPa. The calculated thermodynamic properties are illustrated in figures and show satisfactory agreement with experimental data. The advantages and opportunities for further development of the method are discussed.
