Evidence from the paper

Table 1. Zero-pressure linear compressibilities of (Mg,Fe)SiO3 perovskite at 300 K. ... 1.29 | 1.03 | 1.31 | 7.3 | 0 | NaCl | P | This study. At 300 K, the Pbnm distortion increased with pressure to 7.3 GPa ... The general trend of the cell-edge compressibilities (beta) beta_c >= beta_a > beta_b is consistent in most of these studies.
