Evidence from the paper

Using the derived width of the spin transition, the P-V data above 25 GPa fitted to the third-order Birch-Murnaghan EoS yield the isothermal bulk modulus, K_T0 = 284 (±4) GPa, and unit cell volume, V0 = 162.6 (±0.3) Å3, with a fixed K_T0' = 4 for Pv10 with the LS B site Fe3+.

Additional notes

P-V data above 25 GPa (up to 125 GPa)
spin transition range
spin transition of B-site Fe3+ starts at 18 GPa and completes at 25 GPa
volume reduction at transition
0.5(±0.1)% reduction in unit cell volume at 18–25 GPa
