Post-perovskite

(Mg,Fe)SiO3 with 9 mol.% FeSiO3

second-order Birch-Murnaghan · Original · 2006

Why this differs from similar rows?

Birch-Murnaghan fit with K'0 fixed at 4 (main reported fit); sibling row instead fixes K'0 = 4.4 to illustrate parameter tradeoffs.

Evidence from the paper

Fitting the pressure-volume data for the ppv phase to a Birch-Murnaghan EOS (20) yields a bulk modulus, K0, of 219(5) GPa and an ambient pressure volume, V0, of 164.9(6) ų for a bulk modulus pressure derivative, K'0, fixed at 4.
