Abstract

The compressibility of Fe0.941O has been measured by energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction methods in a diamond anvil squeezer up to 200 kbar. The data points can be described by the Murnaghan equation with K 0=1,540±50 kbar and K'=4. An analysis of previous investigations, X-ray diffraction and ultrasonic measurements yields for the general composition Fe1−xO a regression line K 0=5,438(1−x)−3,595 kbar for all known measurements.
