Why this differs from similar rows?

This study's unconstrained BM3 fit to 300 K P-V data (Table 1), all parameters free; other rows in this group fix V0 to DFT, use a 50 GPa reference pressure, or are P-V-T fits.

Evidence from the paper

We fit BM3 EoS without constraint, yielding V0 = 96.6(±4.8) Å3, KT0 = 162(±62) GPa, K'0 = 3.1(±1.1). Table 1: 96.6(48) | 162(62) | 3.1(11) | XRD (PM: Ne) | This study.

Additional notes

note
Unquenchable phase; 1 bar parameters obtained by extrapolation from high-pressure data
F E intercept
F_E(0) = 162(±2) GPa from f-F analysis, consistent with KT0
