Abstract The bulk modulus, K 0, and its pressure derivative K′0, of γ-(Mg0.6, Fe0.4)2SiO4 have been accurately determined to 50.0 GPa under hydrostatic conditions at room temperature in a diamond cell using synchrotron radiation. Our results agree with Brillouin and ultrasonic measurements on γ-Mg2SiO4 at low pressure, indicating normal elastic behaviour in the metastable pressure range of this high pressure mineral. Our values of K 0 and k′0 are 183.0 GPa and 5.4, respectively.
