A Debye-Gruneisen equation of state for hematite (Fe2O3) was developed for use in studying the high pressure solid state reaction Al + Fe2O3 → Fe + A12O3. A simple, single Curie temperature Curie-Weiss ferromagnetic term was used to account for the complex antiferromagnetic contributions to the entropy and specific heat. In the absence of information on the variation of Curie temperature with pressure, it is taken to be constant, so that the antiferromagnetism makes no contribution to the pressure-volume equation of state.
