MgO

third-order Birch-Murnaghan · Original · 2006

Why this differs from similar rows?

First fit described in text, using decompression data after annealing per the sample description; sibling row instead fits the entire compression+decompression data set.

Evidence from the paper

we first fit these data to equations (1) and (2), yielding K0S = 163.5(11) GPa. K'0S = 4.20(10), G0 = 129.8(6) GPa, and G'0 = 2.42(6). ... V0 = 74.702(26)A^3.
