Is the common definition of the Mie-Grueneisen equation of state inconsistentAnharmonic models are used to describe the high temperatures and the electronic effects characteristic of shock wave phenomena and planetary interiors. It is found that a generalized Grueneisen function dependent on temperature and volume is necessary for the self-consistent application of the Mie-Grueneisen equation at the physical conditions encountered in shock wave phenomena or in the interior of planets. It is noted that at temperatures of a few thousand degrees Kelvin, by deriving the function in terms of anharmonic lattice dynamics, the difference between gamma and gamma(th) is of the same order of a magnitude as gamma. This leads to the conclusions that (1) gamma is not a function of temperature and (2) gamma?gamma(th) does not explain either the equation of state of planetary interiors or high-temperature shock wave phenomena.
