Post-perovskite

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

second-order Birch-Murnaghan · Original · 2006

Why this differs from similar rows?

Text explicitly says this row fixes K'0 = 4.4 'to illustrate the tradeoffs' between correlated V0/K0/K'; sibling row instead fixes K'0 = 4.

Evidence from the paper

To illustrate the tradeoffs, if we fix K'0 = 4.4, we obtain V0 = 166.2(7) ų and K0 = 198(5) GPa, which are close to generalized gradient approximation results from Oganov and Ono (5).
