Post-perovskite

MgSiO3

third-order Birch-Murnaghan · Original · 2006

Why this differs from similar rows?

Fit uses Anderson's gold pressure standard; sibling rows use Jamieson's or Dewaele's gold scale on the same P-V data, giving different K0.

Evidence from the paper

Pressure-volume data could be fitted to the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state with K0 = 237(1) GPa using Anderson's gold pressure standard, when K0' and V0 were set to 4 and 162.86 Å3, respectively. Table 3: 237(1) | 4 (fixed) | 162.86(fixed) | Au* | This study.
