Description

The rigorous Equation of State of any material under external isotropic pressure $P$

$ \hspace{2.5cm} P =\frac {1}{\beta} \frac {\partial \ln Z}{\partial V}, $

based on the system partition function $Z$, is taught in almost every related textbook.

The Equation of State of crystals under general external stress $\mathbf{S}$ was derived:

$ \hspace{2.5cm} \mathbf{S} \cdot \mathbf{\sigma}_{\mathbf{h}}=-\frac {1}{\beta} \frac {\partial \ln Z}{\partial \mathbf{h}} \ \ \ (\mathbf{h}=\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}, \mathbf{c}), $

with respect to the crystal period vectors $\mathbf{h}$, in our recent article:

which has been accessed about 21,000 times.

Here, we also derived the Equation of State of non-crystals under external stress and temperature and studied its relationship with the macroscopic mechanical equilibrium condition.

(The idea has been published in the preprints.org as the follows and attached here:
