    Platinum is widely used as a pressure calibration standard. However, the established thermal equation ofstate EOS has uncertainties especially in the high P-Trange. We use density-functional theory to calculate thethermal equation of state of platinum up to 550 GPa and 5000 K. The static lattice energy was computed byusing the linearized augmented plane-wave method with local-density approximation LDA, Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof, and the recently proposed Wu-Cohen functional. The electronic thermal free energy was evaluatedusing the Mermin functional. The vibrational part was computed within the quasiharmonic approximationusing density-functional perturbation theory and pseudopotentials. Special attention was paid to the influenceof the electronic temperature on the phonon frequencies. We find that, in overall, LDA results agree best withthe experiments. Based on the density-functional theory calculations and the established experimental data, wedevelop a consistent thermal EOS of platinum as a reference for pressure calibration.

    I. INTRODUCTION

    Platinum Pt is a widely used high-pressure standard. Itsequation of state EOS at room temperature has been estab-lished by reducing shock Hugoniot14 and by ab initio linear-muffin-tin-orbital LMTO calculations4 up to 660 GPa. Maoet al.5 used the EOS developed in Ref. 4 Holmes et al. tocalibrate pressure in their compression experiment on Fe andFe-Ni alloys. The bulk moduli measured at the earths corepressure are substantially higher than those extrapolatedfrom seismological observations.6,7 A large pressure offset is

    needed to remove the discrepancy: about 8% at 100 GPa and15% at 300 GPa. The origin of this offset is under investiga-tion. One possibility is the EOS of Holmes et al. seriouslyoverestimates pressure.6 Singh7 raised other possibilities. Henoticed that the one-parameter EOS of platinum agrees withthe EOS of Holmes et al. to 1% at high pressures and con-cluded that large systematic error in pressure scale is un-likely. He further proposed that the discrepancy due to thepressure on the sample is different from the one on the pres-sure standard in the high-pressure x-ray diffraction measure-ments.

    There are conflicting reports on the uncertainties ofHolmes et al.s EOS. Dewaele et al.8 measured the EOS of

    six metals at ambient temperature to 94 GPa using adiamond-anvil cell DAC. By cross-checking different pres-sure scales, they found Holmes et al.s EOS overestimatespressure by 4 GPa near 100 GPa at room temperature.This conclusion is confirmed by other groups.9,10 While morerecent calculations based on density-functional theory DFTsuggest that Holmes et al.s EOS underestimates, rather thanoverestimates, pressure. Xiang et al.11 computed the thermalequation of state of platinum using LMTO and a mean-fieldpotential method. The pressure they obtained is 5%6%higher than that of Holmes et al. at high pressures.Menndez-Proupin and Singh12 reached similar conclusionusing pseudopotentials. Both calculations employ the local-

    density approximation LDA functional13 and the excesspressure is attributed to LDA in Ref. 12. However it can alsobe caused by other factors. In Table 2 of Ref. 11, the equi-librium volume decreases as the temperature increases. Theelectronic thermal pressure is negative according to this cal-culation, which is contrary to expectations. Reference 12uses an ultrasoft Rappe-Rabe-Kaxiras-Joannopoulos pseudo-potential from the PWSCF website,14 which contains only5d, 6s, and 6p valence states. Its large cut-off radius2.6 a.u. may cause error in studying the highly compressedstructure.

    Besides the room-temperature isotherm, accurate thermalpressure Pth is needed to calibrate pressure in simultaneoushigh-pressure and high-temperature experiments. Experi-ments cannot easily determine Pth over a wide temperatureand volume range.15 Consequently Pth is often estimated byassuming it is linear in temperature and independent ofvolume.1,4 Theory can in principle do better. In quasihar-monic approximation QHA, DFT calculations give Pth atany particular temperature and volume. It is desirable tocombine the experimental data with DFT calculations, takingthe advantages of both, and construct a more accurate ther-mal EOS for pressure calibration.

    In this paper we have three goals: first is to check theaccuracy of the theoretical EOS of platinum predicted by

    different exchange-correlation functionals. In contrast withprevious calculations, we find the room-temperature iso-therm computed with LDA lies below and nearly parallel tothe experimental compression data. The Fermi level of plati-num lies in the d band and gives a very large density of stateDOS NEF. Its vibrational frequencies are more sensitiveto the electronic temperature than those of many other met-als. A Kohn anomaly has been observed in platinum at 90K.16 It becomes weaker and finally disappears when the tem-perature increases. Thus our second goal is to discuss theelectronic temperature dependence of vibrations ETDV andits influence on the thermal properties. Our last goal is toprovide an accurate thermal EOS for pressure calibration.

    For this purpose we make corrections to the raw DFT results.We correct the room-temperature Gibbs free energyGP ,300 K to ensure that it reproduces the experimentalisotherm and then combine it with the DFT calculated tem-perature dependence to get GP , T. The thermal EOS andthermal properties deduced from the corrected Gibbs freeenergy are in good agreement with the known experimental

    data.

    II. COMPUTATIONAL METHOD

    The EOS of a material is determined by its Helmholtz freeenergy FV, T, which consists of three parts:

    FV,T = UV + FvibV,T + FeleV,T, 1

    where UV is the static energy of the lattice, FvibV, T is thevibrational free energy, and FeleV, T accounts for the ther-

    mal excitation of the electrons. UV is calculated by usingthe linearized augmented plane-wave LAPW method17 andthree different exchange-correlation functionals: LDA,13

    Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof PBE,18 and Wu-Cohen WC.19

    The 4f, 5s, 5p, 5d, and 6s are described as valence stateswhile others are treated as core states. The convergence pa-rameter RKmax is 10.0 and the muffin-tin radius R is 2.08a.u.. A 161616 Monkhorst-Pack20 uniform kgrid is usedand the integration over the whole Brillouin zone is donewith the tetrahedron method.21 All the calculations usingLAPW are performed with and without spin-orbit effect.

    In contrast with the static lattice energy UV, which issensitive to the relaxation of the core states and requires a

    full-potential treatment, thermal excitations contribute tomuch smaller energy variations and mostly depend on thevalence states. We use pseudopotentials to compute the ther-mal effects. An ultrasoft Vanderbilt pseudopotential22 is gen-erated from the reference atomic configuration5s25p65d96s16p0, including nonlinear core corrections.23

    There are two projectors in the s channel 5s and 6s, two inthe p channel 5p and an unbound p at 0.2 Ry above thevacuum level, and one in the d channel 5d. The localcomponent is set in the f channel at the vacuum level. Thecut-off radii for each channel s, p, d, and local are 1.8, 1.9,1.9, and 1.8 a.u., respectively. We use the scalar relativisticapproximation and the spin-orbit effect is not included. This

    pseudopotential reproduces the LAPW electronic band struc-ture both at the most contracted volume and the 0 GPa ex-perimental volume. We find that pseudopotentials with dif-ferent exchange-correlation functionals yield very similarelectronic band structures for platinum and we use LDA tocompute all the thermal effects.

    We consider 20 different volumes with lattice constantsfrom 7.8 to 6.2 a.u.17.588.83 3 in volume. For eachvolume Vi, we use LAPW to compute its static energy UViand the LDA pseudopotential to evaluate its thermal freeenergy FvibVi , T and FeleVi , T. FvibVi , T is treated withinQHA with phonon frequencies dependent on electronic tem-perature denoted as eQHA as

    FvibeQHAVi,T =

    1

    2 q,jq,jVi,Tele

    + kBTq,j

    ln1 exp q,jVi,TelekBT

    ,2

    where q,jVi , Tele denotes the phonon frequency computedat volume Vi and electronic temperature Tele. In thermal equi-librium the system temperature T, the ionic temperature Tion,and the Tele are equal. We distinguish these three tempera-tures to emphasize that the temperature dependence of pho-non frequencies coming from different sources. Anharmonicphonon-phonon interactions cause phonon frequencies to de-pend on Tion but they are omitted in QHA. Electronic thermalexcitations disturb the charge distribution in the crystal andcause phonon frequencies dependent on Tele. In the normalQHA used for insulators and some metals, this effect is alsoignored and q,j has no temperature dependence except

    through VT. Platinum has a larger NEF than many othermetals and ETDV may have noticeable effects on its thermalproperties. To quantitatively measure the influence of ETDV,we compare the vibrational free energies at volume Vi andtemperature TjTj =500,1000,...,5000 K computed with-out and with ETDV. Without ETDV normal QHA, phononfrequencies are computed at Tele= 0 K by usingMethfessel-Paxton24 MP smearing with a smearing param-eter of 0.01 Ry. The corresponding vibrational free energy isdenoted as Fvib

    QHAVi , Tj. With ETDV eQHA, phonon fre-quencies have to be computed separately for each Tj. This isachieved by using the Mermin functional25 and Fermi-DiracFD smearing. The corresponding vibrational free energy isdenoted as F

    vib

    eQHAVi

    , Tj

    . The difference between these two,FETDVVi , Tj= FvibeQHAVi , Tj FvibQHAVi , Tj, describes thecorrection caused by ETDV. To get FETDV at arbitrary tem-perature between 05000 K, we fit a fourth order polynomialfrom FETDVVi , Tj,

    FETDVVi,T = FvibeQHAVi,T Fvib

    QHAVi,T

    = a1Vi T+ a2Vi T2 + a3Vi T

    3

    + a4Vi T4 . 3

    The final vibrational free energy is computed as FvibVi , T= Fvib

    QHAVi , T+FETDVVi , T we omit the superscripteQHA and denote Fvib

    eQHA as Fvib.

    Phonon frequencies in the above procedure are deter-mined by density functional perturbation theory DFPTRef. 27, as implemented in the QUANTUM ESPRESSO Ref.28 package. The dynamical matrices are computed on an888 q mesh 29 q points in the irreducible wedge of theBrillouin zone. Force constant interpolation is used to cal-culate phonon frequencies at arbitrary q vectors. The sum-mation in Eq. 2 is evaluated on a 323232 q mesh.

    The electronic free energy FeleVi , T is determined byusing the Mermin functional25,26 and Fermi-Dirac smearing.Similar to getting FvibVi , T, we first compute Fele at every50 K from 50 to 5000 K, then we fit them to a fourth orderpolynomial

    3. It seems the Som-merfeld expansion works better at high pressures where theelectronic bands are more dispersive and NEF is smaller.We combine FeleVi , T with the static energy UVi fromLAPW and the vibrational free energy FvibVi , T from thesame pseudopotential to get the total free energy FVi , T atvolume Vi. There are two popular parametrized forms to fitthe total free energy FV, T: fourth order Birch-Murnahan29

    BM and Vinet.30 We find BM and Vinet are comparable inaccuracy to fit the static and low-temperature free energiesbut BM yields much lower residual energies than Vinet forthe high-temperature results. Thus we use fourth order BM toget FV, T. Other thermodynamical properties are computedby finite difference.

    All the pseudopotential calculations are carried out withthe same plane-wave cutoff of 40 Ry, charge-density cutoffof 480 Ry, and a shifted 161616 Monkhorst-Pack mesh.To determine the convergence uncertainties of our results, wechoose one volume Vi =15.095

    3, and recompute its pho-non frequencies at Tele =0 K with a 242424 mesh and ahigher plane-wave cutoff 60 Ry. The two sets of phonon

    frequencies differ by 0.5% at most. The corresponding FvibQHAdiffer by 0.07 mRy/atom at 2000 K and 0.18 mRy at 5000 K.The influence of ETDV is much greater than the convergenceuncertainties. For some modes phonon frequencies changeby 10% or more from Tele=500 K to Tele=2000 K. Thefree-energy correction FETDV is about 1 mRy/atom at 2000K.

    III. SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS WORKS

    Besides the two calculations11,12 mentioned in the intro-duction, which focus on the thermal EOS of platinum, thereare some other papers related to this subject. Cohen et al.31

    computed the static EOS of platinum using LAPW and PBE,and treated it as an example to discuss the accuracy of dif-ferent EOS formations. They found that Vinet fitted betterthan third order BM. The accuracy of fourth order BM andVinet were comparable. Tsuchiya and Kawamura32 computedthe electronic thermal pressure Pele of Au and Pt usingLMTO and LDA. At 2200 K, Pele is 1.01 GPa for Pt whileonly 0.06 GPa for Au. This is caused by the different NEFof the two metals. The small ETDV effect 1% change inphonon frequency from Tele=0 K to 3000 K observed ongold33 is consistent with this picture. Wang et al.34 usedLAPW and an average potential method to determine thethermal contributions. Then they reduced the experimental

    shock Hugoniot and got the room-temperature isotherm ofPt. This isotherm is very similar to that of Holmes et al., inspite of the fact that in the latter case, thermal pressure isestimated semiempirically. Reference 35 computed the staticEOS of platinum using pseudopotentials with and withoutspin-orbit effects up to 150 GPa. In the following section, wecompare our calculations with these previous ones whenever

    appropriate.On the experimental side, The reduced isothermal P-V-T

    EOS from shock wave experiments are widely used as pri-mary pressure scales. At present they are also the only ex-perimental sources for P-V-T data at very high pressures.The shock Hugoniot of platinum was first obtained by usingchemical explosives.1 The reduced room-temperature iso-therm was up to 270 GPa. Holmes et al.4 went to highercompression ratio using a two-stage light-gas gun. The finalshock Hugoniot is a combination of these two sets of data. Inspite of the crucial role of the reduced shock EOS, its accu-racy suffers from low precision in measurements and theo-retical simplifications made in the reducing process.10,36 With

    the development of DAC and third-generation synchrotronlight source, cross-checking different pressure scales becamefeasible. More accurate thermal EOS were obtained by usingthis method.8,15

    Recently, Dorogokupets and Oganov37 constructed asemiempirical model to describe the thermal properties of Al,Au, Cu, Pt, Ta, and W. The model contains about 20 param-eters, which are fitted to the available experimental data onthe heat capacity, enthalpy, volume, thermal expansivity,bulk modulus, and shock Hugoniot. Based on this model,they reanalyzed the data in Ref. 8 up to 100 GPa. The result-ing EOS, which are consistent with the measured thermalproperties, are believed to be more accurate than the original

    in the corresponding pressure range.38

    A simplified versionof the model39 yields similar EOS at low pressures. Howevertheir high-pressure extrapolations differ by 2.5% near 240GPa. It will be interesting to use DFT to explore the EOS atvery high pressures, which are still out of reach for the cur-rent DAC experiments.

    IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

    A. Static equation of state

    Before studying the EOS at finite temperature, we exam-ine the static EOS computed by using different exchange-correlation functionals and compare them with previous cal-

    culations. Excluding the thermal effects which amount to2 GPa at room temperature helps to identify the origin oftheir differences. Figure 1 shows the static pressure vs vol-ume relations using different exchange-correlation function-als. The corresponding EOS parameters are listed in Table I.The experimental data at room temperature are also includedin the figure to give a rough estimate of the difference. Com-paring to the experiments in the entire volume range, LDAunderestimates pressure while PBE overestimates. WC im-proves on PBE but still overestimates. A detailed comparisonbetween the calculated room-temperature isotherms includ-ing the thermal effects and the experimental data will begiven in Sec. IV C. DFT has many different implementations

    such as LAPW, LMTO, and various pseudopotentials. If the

    calculations are good, they should yield similar results. Wecompare our LDA calculations with previous ones in Fig. 2.Two of our own pseudopotential calculations are included forcomparison. One is the Vanderbilt pseudopotential that weuse to compute the thermal effects, denoted as pseudo-1. Theother is a Rappe-Rabe-Kaxiras-Joannopoulos pseudopoten-tial from the PWSCF website Pt.pz-nd-rrkjus.UPF, denotedas pseudo-2. The static EOS predicted by pseudo-1 is similarto that of LAPW. Their EOS parameters differ by no morethan 0.5%. The previous overestimations of pressure areprobably caused by the large cut-off radius and insufficientnumber of valence electrons Ref. 12, or another issue re-lated to the negative electronic thermal pressure Ref. 11.

    Platinum is a heavy element and its electronic band struc-ture is sensitive to spin-orbit effect.41 We find inclusion ofthe spin-orbit effect increases the equilibrium volume nomatter which exchange-correlation functional is used. Thistendency has also been observed by Bercegeay andBernard35 in their pseudopotential calculations. However, theEOS parameters are not independent of each other. Thevariation of the equilibrium volume largely compensates thatof the bulk modulus and the actual pressure difference iswithin 0.7% at high pressures.

    Using pseudopotentials instead of the all electron LAPWmay introduce error in computing phonon frequencies, espe-cially at high pressures. Since lattice vibrations are closely

    related to the force stress on the atoms, we estimate theerror in phonon frequencies by analyzing the error in staticpressure. At high pressures 150550 GPa, the pressure dif-ference between LAPW with LDA functional and pseudo-1is about 1.4%. The error in phonon frequencies caused byusing pseudo-1 is likely to be of the same order. Since theinfluence of spin-orbit effect is half of the pseudopotential

    uncertainty, it is ignored completely in the following calcu-lations.

    B. Phonon dispersion and its electronic temperature

    dependence

    Figure 3 shows the phonon dispersions at the experimen-tal ambient condition lattice constant a =7.4136 a.u. 8 One iscomputed at Tele=0 K while the other at Tele=2000 K, closeto platinums melting point at ambient pressure 2041.3 K.42

    The Kohn anomaly near q = 0,0.35,0.35 disappears whenthe electronic temperature is high and the vibrational DOSvaries noticeably. The corresponding corrections to the vibra-

    tional free energy,

    FETDVVi , T, are shown in Fig. 4a.FETDV is always positive. As volume decreases, it dimin-ishes and finally becomes negligible. ETDV originates in thethermal excitations of the electrons near the Fermi surfaceand the number of thermal excited electrons is proportionalto NEF in the lowest-order Sommerfeld expansion. Forsmaller volumes, the electronic bands are more dispersiveand NEF decreases, as shown in Fig. 4b. ETDV dimin-ishes accordingly.

    Figures 5 and 6 show the volume thermal-expansion co-efficient , heat capacity at constant pressure CP, entropy S,and the temperature-dependent part of the Gibbs free energyGP , T = GP , T-GP , T=300 K. Including ETDV re-moves about half of the discrepancies between experimentsand calculations based on normal QHA. The remaining smalldifferences between theory and experiment are attributed toanharmonic phonon-phonon interactions43 and electron-phonon interactions.44 These two effects are of the same or-der of magnitude44 as Fele for metals. But explicit perturba-tive calculations to determine their magnitudes arecomputationally demanding and beyond the scope of the cur-rent paper. We notice DFT calculations based on QHA de-scribe well the thermal properties of other metals, such asgold,33 silver,45 and copper,46 up to melting point. This is incontrast with ionic crystals such as MgO where there arelarge deviations from QHA at high temperatures. It is pos-sible that the effects of anharmonic phonon-phonon and

    electron-phonon interactions tend to cancel each other inthese metals. Further work is needed to clarify this issue.

    C. Room-temperature isotherms

    By fitting the total Helmholtz free energy at 300 K, we getthe theoretical 300 K isotherms, as shown in Fig. 7. Theirparameters are listed in Table II. In the low-pressure range,the LDA isotherm and the experimental data are almost par-allel. As pressure increases, they start to merge. It seemsLDA works better at high pressures. Regarding to EOS pa-rameters, LDA gives equilibrium volumes closest to the ex-periments while WC yields closest bulk modulus K0 and

    the derivative of the bulk modulus K0. Some people8,35prefer to compare pressures from two EOS labeled as EOS-Iand EOS-II at the same compression, i.e., the same value ofV/V0. V0 is the corresponding equilibrium volume, V0,I forEOS-I, and V0,II for EOS-II. Such comparisons can give fa-vorable agreement when K0 and K0 of EOS-I are close tothose of EOS-II even when V0,I and V0,II are quite different.8

    As mentioned before, the EOS parameters are not indepen-dent of each other. It can be fortuitous that K0 and K0 agreewell. Judged from pressure vs volume relation, LDA is theoptimal functional for platinum. It is worth noting that the

    LDA Hartwigsen, Goedecker and Hutter HGH pressure vsvolume relation reported in Ref. 35 is similar to those ob-tained in this study. However, Ref. 35 presents data in vol-ume vs compression and concludes that LDA overestimatespressure by 8 GPa near 100 GPa. In fact, although K0,LDA291 GPa from this study is much larger than K0,expe 273.6GPa from Ref. 8, the bulk modulus computed at the experi-mental equilibrium volume V0,expe15.095

    3 is 270 GPa,quite close to K0,expe. Thus when plotted in pressure vs vol-ume, the isotherm computed by LDA is nearly parallel withthe experimental data in the low-pressure range.

    D. Thermal equation of state of platinum for pressure

    calibration

    In the previous sections the thermal properties of platinumis discussed from a pure theoretical point of view. We havecomputed the static lattice energy UV using LAPW andfound that spin-orbit interactions are not important in deter-mining the EOS of platinum. We have used QHA to calculatethe vibrational free energy FvibV, T and found that includ-ing ETDV improves the agreement on the thermal properties.We have calculated the electronic free energy FeleV, T us-ing Mermin functional. The resulting thermal properties, e.g.,the temperature-dependent part of the Gibbs energyGP , T, are close to the experimental data at 0 GPa. The

    room-temperature isotherm computed by LDA merges to thereduced shock data at high pressures, indicating LDA worksbetter at high pressures.

    Based on these DFT results and all the available experi-mental data, we try to construct a consistent P-V-T EOS ofplatinum up to 550 GPa and 5000 K. To reach this goal, first

    we need to include the physical effects that are missing inour original model. A phenomenological term39

    FcorrV, T =32 kBaV/V0

    mT2 is added to the total Helm-holtz energy to account for the anharmonic phonon-phononand electron-phonon interactions where V0 is the volume of aprimitive cell at ambient condition V0 =15.095

    3. Thequadratic temperature dependence comes from the lowest-order perturbation at high temperatures. a and m are twoparameters to be fitted. We found that setting a as equal to105K1 and m as equal to 7 yields good agreement betweentheory and experiments on , CP, and GP , T at 0 GPa, asillustrated in Figs. 5a and 6a. The contribution to thermalpressure can be estimated by differentiating FcorrV, T with

    respect to volume. At 2000 K, Pth is 0.38 GPa when V isequal to V0 and 0.2 GPa when V is equal to 0.9V0.Having obtained accurate GP , T, the next step is to get

    reliable GP ,300 K. We choose the room-temperature EOSdeveloped by Dorogokupets and Oganov37 as our referencebelow 100 GPa. It has been cross-checked with other pres-sure scales and is likely to be more accurate than the reducedshock data of Ref. 1 in this pressure range. On the otherhand, extrapolating an EOS fitted at low pressures to higherrange can be dangerous. We assume LDA works better athigh pressures, and the difference between the exact ob-tained in an ideal, very accurate experiment and LDA iso-therms approaches to zero as pressure increases.

    We compare Dorogokupetss EOS Ref. 37 V0=15.095 3, K0 =276.07 GPa, and K0=5.30 in Vinet formwith our room-temperature isotherm computed by LDA V0=14.884 3, K0 =291.25 GPa, and K0=5.547 in Vinetform. The volume difference between these two at eachpressure VP = Vexpe,300 KP VLDA,300 KP is shown inFig. 8. Since VP decreases rapidly as pressure increases,we use exponentially decaying functions to fit and extrapo-late. We correct the calculated room-temperature Gibbs en-ergy GLDAP ,300 K by setting GcorrP ,300 K= GLDAP ,300 K + 0

    PVPdP. The isotherm derived from

    GcorrP ,300 K coincides with Dorogokupets EOS below100 GPa, which is the upper limit of their fitting. Above 250

    GPa, VP is almost zero and the isotherm derived fromGcorrP ,300 K is the same as the uncorrected one. The un-certainty due to volume extrapolation in the intermediate re-

    gion 100250 GPa is estimated from bulk modulus to beless than 2 GPa. It is worth noting that the established EOSof platinum are quite similar to each other below 100 GPa, asshown in Fig. 7b. Choosing a different reference such asthe one in Ref. 8 will only change the results near 100 GPaby 1 GPa.

    We combine GcorrP ,300 K with the temperature-dependent part of the Gibbs energy GP , T and get thecorrected Gibbs energy GcorrP , T at temperature T. FromGcorrP , T, we derive all the other thermodynamical proper-ties. Thermal properties such as , CP, and S, which dependon the temperature derivatives of the Gibbs energy, are notaffected by changing GP ,300 K. In contrast, the isother-

    mal bulk modulus KT and adiabatic bulk modulus KS will beinfluenced, as shown in Fig. 9.After corrections, both thermal expansivity and bulk

    modulus agree with the experiments well. We expect theproduct KT to be accurate. Integrating KT, we get the ther-mal pressure, PthV, T = PV, T PV, T0 = T0

    TKTdT. The

    calculated KT and Pth, both before and after corrections, areshown in Fig. 10. PthV, T is often assumed to be indepen-dent of volume and linear in temperature, i.e., KT is a con-stant. Reference 1 assumes the thermal energy ET =3kBT,the thermal Grneisen parameter =0V/V0, where 0 =2.4,and V0 =15.123

    In Ref. 4, KT is estimated to be 6.94103 GPa/K. Both

    values lie within the variation of the calculated KT, asshown in Fig. 10a. We find that KTPth has noticeable

    volume dependence. At fixed temperature, it first decreases,reaches a minimum at about V/V0 =0.8, and then increases.Such behavior originates in the pressure dependence of thethermal expansivity Fig. 5b and bulk moduli Fig. 9b.This feature has also been observed in Ref. 37, as shown inFig. 10b. However it is missing in the previous ab initiocalculation.11

    .From Mie-Grneisen relation, it is obvious that q is related tothe volume dependence of KT. If q is equal to 1, KT isindependent of volume. If q is greater than 1, KT getssmaller as volume decreases. In Ref. 1 q is assumed to beequal to 1. Fei et al.9 determined by fitting the measuredP V T data to the Mie-Grneisen relation up to 27 GPa.They gave 0 =2.72 and q =0.5. Zha et al.10 extended

    measurements to 80 GPa and 1900 K. Their fit gave 0=2.75 and q =0.25. Our calculation indicates that the tem-perature dependence of is small. The volume dependenceof is shown in Fig. 11. The uncorrected DFT calculationtends to overestimate . At ambient condition 0 is equal to2.87. After corrections, 0 =2.70. The corresponding q isequal to 2.35, much larger than the value obtained in Refs. 9

    and 10. We notice previous DFT calculation on gold33

    alsogives much larger q than the value in Ref. 9. This is probablydue to the small pressure range explored in Ref. 9 and lim-ited number of data points measured in Ref. 10.

    Adding the thermal pressure to the room-temperature iso-therm, we get the thermal EOS of platinum, as shown inTable III. We compare our results with two DAC measure-ments in Fig. 12. Within the error of the experiments, the

    agreement is reasonably good. For convenience of interpola-tion, parametric forms of the thermal EOS are listed in TableIV.

    The P-V-T thermal EOS we obtained are very similar tothe one in Ref. 37 below 100 GPa. This is to be expected aswe used the 300 K isotherm in Ref. 37 as the reference tocorrect the room-temperature Gibbs energy and the thermalproperties calculated from both approaches agree well withthe experiments. In this P-T range, the uncertainty of ourEOS is comparable to the one in Ref. 37. Above 100 GPa,the uncertainty is about 1.4%, which is the difference be-tween the LAPW LDA and pseudo-1 static EOS. Othersources of error, e.g., convergence uncertainty 0.5% andignoring spin-orbit effect 0.7% are smaller effects. Tocheck the accuracy of our thermal EOS at high pressures, westart from the corrected Gibbs energy and compute the the-

    oretical Hugoniot by solving the Rankine-Hugoniot equa-tion:

    EHV,T EiV0,Ti = PHV,T + P0V0,TiV0 V

    2, 6

    where EHV, T and PHV, T are the internal energy, pres-sure at volume V, and temperature T. EiV0 , Ti andP0V0 , Ti are the internal energy, pressure at the initial vol-ume V0, and temperature Ti. The results are shown in Fig. 13.The predicted Hugoniot pressure is in good agreement withmeasurements. The temperature predicted by DFT is lowerthan the empirically deduced value in Ref. 1. The reduction

    in Ref. 1 neglects the electronic thermal pressure and thismay cause the overestimation of Hugoniot temperature.4

    We end this section by comparing our room-temperatureisotherm with that of Holmes et al. Below 70 GPa, they arealmost identical. At high pressures 200550 GPa, the pres-

    sure from our EOS is about 3% lower than the one fromHolmes et al. Holmes et al. used LMTO with the atomic-sphere approximation to get the static EOS. In principle, thefull potential LAPW method used in this study is more ac-curate. It seems the EOS of Holmes et al. overestimates pres-sure systematically at high compression ratio. However, themagnitude is much smaller than the pressure offset needed tocompensate the discrepancy between Mao et al.s experimentand seismological extrapolation. The real cause of the dis-crepancy might be a combination of several factors.

    V. CONCLUSIONS

    In this paper, we report our calculations on the static andthermal EOSs of platinum using DFT with differentexchange-correlation functionals. Contrary to previous re-ports, we found that the room-temperature isotherm com-puted with LDA lies below and nearly parallel to the experi-mental compression data. We studied the lattice dynamics ofplatinum within QHA and found that the electronic tempera-ture dependence of vibrations plays a noticeable role in de-termining the thermal properties of platinum. Combining theexperimental data with DFT calculations, we propose a con-sistent thermal EOS of platinum up to 550 GPa and 5000 K,which can be used as a reference for pressure calibration.

Both have a cut-off radius of 2.6 a.u. and both yield static EOS stiffer than thatof N. C. Holmes et al. Ref. 4. The results reported in Ref. 12are very close to our calculations using Pt.pz-nd-rrkjus.UPF.

For better accuracy we fit the P-V-T data in three differentpressure-temperature intervals: 1 0100 GPa and 02000 K, 2 50250 GPa and 03000 K, and 3150550 GPa and 05000 K. P0 denotes the starting pressure of the corresponding interval. V0 , K0, K0, andK0 are temperature-dependent parameters, and are fitted to a fourth order polynomial a0 + a1t+ a2t

    2 + a3t3

    + a4t4, where t= T/1000. They have a formal correspondence to the usual fourth order BM EOS parameters,

    which are defined at P0 =0 GPa.
