Evidence from the paper

We fit the room-temperature data above 2.0 GPa with a second-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, yielding V0 = 45.83(7) Å3 and K0 = 280(23) GPa (K0' is assumed to be 4, as we have only 4 points).

Additional notes

note
Fit restricted to data above 2.0 GPa because amorphization occurs below 2 GPa; only 4 data points used.
