Post-perovskite

MgSiO3

third-order Birch-Murnaghan · Original · 2006

Why this differs from similar rows?

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

Evidence from the paper

Using all the data, values of 237(1), 226(1), and 248(1) GPa were obtained for Anderson's, Jamieson's, and Dewaele's gold standards, respectively. Table 3: 226(1) | 4 (fixed) | 162.86(fixed) | Au† | This study.
