SiO2

third-order Birch-Murnaghan · Original · 2003

Why this differs from similar rows?

Axial (linearized a3) modulus from a separate fit to model the a lattice parameter alone, not the full unit-cell EoS reported in the sibling row.

Evidence from the paper

To model the pressure evolution of the stishovite lattice parameters, we thus use a third-order Birch-Murnagham EoS for a3 [K0 = 250.9(1.6) GPa and K'0 = 5.48(0.32)] and a linear equation for c (c = 2.6654 – 0.001581 P).
