Abstract

The long standing controversy between the melting curves of the bcc Mo,Ta,W and vanadium (V) metals measured by diamond anvil Cells (DAC) and the shock dynamic experiments is explained by the behavior the liquid or solid pressure transmitting mediums compressed by the thermal expansion of the these transition metals. This explains the observed isobaric behavior of the laser heated DAC experiments containing different transmitting mediums reported in the literature, thus solving the standing enigma described in very many publications.
