Post-perovskite

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 post-perovskite composition; sibling rows are Al-bearing post-perovskite with different substitution mechanisms (CCM, OVM, AlHM).
