third-order Birch-Murnaghan · Original · 2000

Why this differs from similar rows?

Fits K_T0' freely from all volume data (7.2, poorly constrained since compression is under 4%); sibling row fixes K_T0' to 4 instead.

Evidence from the paper

All the volume data for perovskite listed in Table I were fitted by the third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, and we obtained K_T0 = 215.4 ± 4.4 GPa and K_T0' = 7.2 ± 1.4. Table I: ap107 0.00 (atmospheric) V = 163.6 (4) Å3; ku117 0.00 V = 163.5 (5) Å3.

note
pressure range < 4% volume compression, so K' not well constrained
