Polycrystalline Ni50Al50 suitable for high pressure studies was prepar
ed by grinding and subsequent annealing of an inert-gas atomized alloy
. The equation of state was determined by energy-dispersive x-ray diff
raction in a diamond anvil cell to 25 GPa, The bulk modulus B-o and th
e pressure derivative of the bulk modulus B-o' were found to be B-o =
156 +/- 3 GPa and B-o' = 4.0 +/- 0.5.
