Evidence from the paper

Table IV: MgO (B1), Our model: V0 = 18.65 Å3, K = 180 GPa, K' = 4.04 (room-temperature properties); text: 'A Birch-Murnaghan fit to the calculated equation of state of MgO yields a bulk modulus of 180 GPa'.

note

Volume appears to be per formula unit; static (0 K, no zero-point) properties reported separately in same table row.
