“…7), the bulk modulus obtained here decreases monotonically with increasing temperature, at least up to 973 K. As the comparison with the previous results, we have also fitted our high temperature data by using only first order temperature derivative of bulk modulus, and yields V 0 = 674.2(3) Å 3 , K 0 = 126.9(15) GPa, ∂K T,0 /∂T = −0.019(5) GPa K −1 , and α = 2.7(3) × 10 −5 K −1 (see Table 2). The fitted temperature derivative of bulk modulus is consistent or comparable with the previous ones (Grevel et al, 2000;Schilling et al, 2003), which may imply that the second order dependence of bulk modulus on temperature is more precise in describing the equation of state of lawsonite, according to the present results. Chinnery et al (2000) and Grevel et al (2000) have calculated and discussed the reaction positions of lawsonite using their results.…”
