Phase Egg

AlSiO3(OH)

third-order Birch-Murnaghan · Original · 2018

Why this differs from similar rows?

DFT result for the high-pressure (hiP) phase Egg structure above the ~15 GPa proton-transfer transition (metastable extrapolation to zero pressure); sibling row is the loP structure.

Evidence from the paper

The bulk modulus at zero-pressure (K0^hiP), unit-cell volume at zero pressure (V0^hiP) and the pressure derivative of zero-pressure bulk modulus (K'0^hiP) for phase Egg (hiP) at pressures above the transfer of proton are, 222.8 (±0.2) GPa, 207.74 (±0.01) ų, and 4.44 (±0.02) respectively.

Additional notes

static conditions
first principles simulations are at static conditions (0 K)
linear moduli GPa
Ka^hiP = 815.6 (±2.8), Kb^hiP = 507.9 (±0.7), Kc*^hiP = 789.6 (±1.1)
note
values from metastable extension of high-pressure structure to zero pressure; zero-pressure volume of loP is ~1.2 % larger and its K0 ~35.5 % softer than hiP
proton transfer pressure
~15 GPa
