Measurements of the melting temperatures of lead, carried out to pressures of 1 megabar and temperatures near 4000 kelvin by means of a laser-heated diamond cell are in excellent agreement with the results of previous shock-wave experiments. The data are analyzed by means of first principles quantum mechanical calculations, and the agreement documents the reliability of current experimental and theoretical techniques for studies of melting at ultrahigh pressures. These studies have potentially wide-ranging applications from planetary science to condensed matter physics.
