Evidence from the paper

The derived isothermal bulk modulus at ambient conditions (K_T0) and its pressure derivative (K_T0') are: K_T0 = 152.5 (2.4) and K_T0' = 4.1 (0.2) for the HS state, and K_T0 = 161.6 (7.1) with a fixed K_T0' of 4 for the LS state, consistent with previous studies (Fig. S3).

low-spin (LS)
spin transition range
40-60 GPa at 300 K
note
K_T0' fixed at 4 for LS-state fit; LS zero-pressure values are extrapolations from the low-spin branch of the P-V data
