Anhydrous ringwoodites in the mantle transition zone: Their bulk modulus, solid solution behavior, compositional variation, and sound velocity feature

The isothermal bulk moduli of anhydrous Mg2SiO4-ringwoodite (Rw) and Fe2SiO4-Rw, and other 4–2 oxide spinels at ambient P-T condition have been evaluated, and empirically fitted to a model as KT0 = 270.8(300) + 0.343(59)*V0 + 23.04(269)*EN-total, where KT0 is the isothermal bulk modulus in GPa, V0 t...
