Evidence from the paper

FeMg0.5Si0.5O3 is stable in the trigonal corundum derivative structure below 12 ± 2 GPa. Above 12 ± 2 GPa, it adopts a monoclinic double-perovskite structure. The BM2–EoS fitting of data between 12 and 40 GPa gives K0 = 199 ± 6 GPa and V0 = 181.2 ± 0.5 Å3.

Additional notes

Kp note
K′ = 4 is implied by the second-order Birch–Murnaghan EoS truncation; not explicitly stated as a number in the text
softening note
Above 40 GPa, elastic softening related to spin transition of Fe3+ located in the B-sites of perovskite; fit restricted to 12–40 GPa
