abstract

The volume of tantalum versus pressure has been accurately measured up to 101 GPa by single-crystal x-ray diffraction, with helium as pressure transmitting medium. Slight deviation from previous static determinations is observed. Discrepancy with reduced shock-wave and ultrasonic data supports recent doubts about the calibration of the ruby pressure scale. Finally, first principle calculations of the literature show a positive curvature in $P(V)$ relative to the experimental data, even with a modified pressure scale.
