Murnaghan's Equation of State Revisited

The expression known as Murnaghan's equation of state in high-pressure research community is mathematically a correct solution to the equation of bulk modulus but is valid only within a very limited parameter space. Moreover, the equation of state in question exhibits a peculiar behavior at high pressures when fitted to compression data. An alternative expression with a much wider range of validity is given. No peculiarity appears in the resultant compression curve. The latter expression thus provides a new tool as an infinitesimal-strain equation of state for quick estimate of compression characteristics of substances.
