Bridgmanite
MgSiO3 (0 mol% Al2O3, no substitution)
third-order Birch-Murnaghan · Original · 2005
Why this differs from similar rows?
Al-free (0 mol% Al2O3) end-member perovskite; sibling rows are Al-bearing perovskite with different substitution mechanisms (CCM, OVM, AlHM), same normalized MgSiO3 formula.
