14. Conclusions • Unit cell volume, P and S wave velocities of MgO have been measured up to ~11GPa and 1073K. • Combined analyses of the volume and velocity data yield direct determination of K, G, K/P, G/P, K/T, G/ T without relying on previous pressure scales (cross-derivatives and second order derivatives can be derived as well). The sample pressure can be directly calculated from the derived • The discrepancies between previous EoS results likely results from pressure range and pressure scales. • Comparison of the 300K isotherm of MgO suggests that MgO EoS from different studies are consistent within <1%. • Direct pressures and those from NaCl/Ruby differ by an average of ~6% at the current experimental pressure range at room T. The difference becomes smaller at temperatures above ~1100k, within the claimed uncertainties of NaCl pressure scales (e.g., Brown, 1993).
