(Mg0.94Fe0.06)O (chemical formula (Mg0.941Fe0.058[]0.001)O)

finite strain (unspecified form) · Original · 2006

Why this differs from similar rows?

K'0S fit uses the entire high-pressure Brillouin data set to 20.2 GPa; sibling row instead restricts the fit to a hydrostatic subset up to 13.3 GPa.

Evidence from the paper

At room pressure, the adiabatic bulk (K0S) and shear (μ0S) moduli are K0S = 163 ± 3 GPa and μ0S = 121 ± 2 GPa... A fit to all our high-pressure Brillouin data using a third-order finite-strain equation of state yields the following pressure derivatives of the adiabatic bulk and shear moduli: K'0S = 3.9 ± 0.2 and μ'0S = 2.1 ± 0.1.
