Fe0.5Mg0.5Al0.5Si0.5O3

second-order Birch-Murnaghan · Original · 2023

Why this differs from similar rows?

Values for the LiNbO3-type structure, stable below 8+/-2 GPa; sibling row 1294 is the distorted-perovskite phase stable above that transition pressure.

Evidence from the paper

Fe0.5Mg0.5Si0.5Al0.5O3 is stable in the LiNbO3-type structure below 8 ± 2 GPa. The BM2–EoS fitting gives K0 = 211 ± 10 GPa and V0 = 266.35 ± 0.08 Å3.
