Ferropericlase

(Mg,Fe)O in KLB-1 peridotite, ~15 atom% iron; data reproduced by EoS of (Mg0.80,Fe0.20)O

Birch-Murnaghan (order unspecified) · Original · 2009

Why this differs from similar rows?

High-spin (HS) ferropericlase state, K0 fixed to 158 GPa from Fei et al. [2007b] (K' fixed to 4); sibling row is the low-spin (LS) state with a different fixed K0.

Evidence from the paper

"We fit our pressure-volume data at room temperature by fixing the high-spin and low-spin bulk modulus, equal to 158 GPa and 170 GPa respectively [Fei et al., 2007b] (with fixed K' = 4), and obtained V0 for each spin state condition (Table 1)."
