Evidence from the paper

The pressure-volume results were fitted to the fourth-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state ... yielding the zero-pressure bulk modulus and its first and second pressure derivatives as follows: K0 = 159.7 GPa, K'0 = 4.26, and K''0 = -0.026 GPa^-1. Table 1: This study a0 = 4.2506 A, K0 = 159.7, K'0 = 4.26, K''0 = -0.026.
