Figure 9
Proposed phase diagram of Samarium showing the solid-liquid phase boundaries. The uncertainties in pressures are presented in Table 1. Cyan circles are measured temperatures from pyrometry measurements. Green diamonds represent the solid dfcc phase, the yellow squares are the dfcc+liquid phase, and the magenta hexagons are the liquid phase from current XRD study. Small filled circles indicate the DAC melt curve proposed by Errandonea et al.14. The solid black lines are phase boundaries from various DAC studies11,13. Blue dashed line is the proposed melting curve by Rambert et al13. The green curve is the Hugoniot from a previous shock study15.
