Abstract
We have calculated the equation of state for solid molecular tritium using a semiempirical approach, closely guided by experimental results for H2 and D2. TheT=0 K isotherm is calculated from a self-consistent phonon model of the free energy. Temperature effects are treated by the Mie-Grüneisen model. A tabulation of pressure, bulk modulus, and thermal expansion is given for a dense set of molar volumes, as a function of temperature up toP=22 kbar.
