The P-V EoS for quartz (SiO2) as determined by Scheidl et al (2016)
Journal of Applied Crystallography, 49, 2129-2137. A reprint is available as a
pdf file, Copyright © International Union of Crystallography.
We use quartz as an internal pressure standard in single-crystal diamond-anvil cell experiments at room temperature.
We measure the volume of the quartz by diffraction and use this EoS to convert the measured volume to pressure.
This new EoS extends to 19 GPa. It replaces the previous quartz EoS determined by Angel et al (1997).

You should no longer use this EoS. You should use the new EoS determined by Scherdl et al (2016).
If you want to convert the pressures previously determined by this EoS to the new pressure scale given by Scherdl et al (2016),
download both eos files for quartz and use the pshift command in the Edit utility of EosFit7c to convert the pressures in your dataset.

New Garnet EoS:
These PVT EoS are new determinations obtained by fitting all of the elasticity and volume data for these garnets that is published in the literature.
We first used published heat capacity data to determine which published data sets are consistent, and then fitted the EoS parameters to all of those data together.
These are the most internally consistent EoS that it is possible to obtain with currently-available data, and they should be used for all host-inclusion calculations.
The EoS are q-compromise Mie-Grueneisen-Debye thermal-pressure EoS. Therefore, in order to use the eos files, you need the June 2021 version of EosFit
or a more recent version.
These EoS have been implemented in the EntraPT online software
For the details of how we determined these EoS, please read the open access paper

BM3-MGD olivine

BM4-Isothermal olivine

Our best estimate of the P-V-T EoS for mantle composition olivine (Fo90-Fo92) determined from a critical review
and a combined fit of elasticity and volume data from single-crystal measurements. Full details in
Angel et al., (2018) Physics and Chemistry of Minerals, 45, 95-113.
There are four EoS:
- BM3-MGD: No elastic softening.
- BM4-MGD: Includes high-P softening at room temperature.
- BM3-Isothermal: Includes HT/HP softening, but not the high-P softening at room T.
- BM4-Isothermal: Includes both HP and HT/HP softening.

| Quartz PVT
|
This is a full P-V-T EoS for quartz, including the elastic softening in both alpha and beta quartz due to the alpha-beta
phase transition, and a curved alpha-beta phase boundary to fit all available reversals and constraints. EoS parameters
were determined by fitting simultaneously to both elastic moduli and P-T-V data. For details about this and the next two EoS for quartz
see Angel et al (2017) Contribs. Min. Pet., 172:29
or contact us.

| Quartz V and a
|
This file contains the full P-V-T EoS of quartz and the EoS for the a-cell parameter, both in Angstroms. They can be used together
to determine how the a,b,c and V of quartz change with P and T, in a self-consistent way in the CELL utility of EosFit7c. See
Alvaro et al (2020) Geology, 48:24 and

A self-consistent approach to determine unit-cell parameter variations with pressure and temperature. Journal of Applied Crystallography, 54, 1621-1630,
which is available as a pdf file.
The PVT EoS is the same as the previous one, but with volumes in A3/cell. The EoS for the a-cell parameter was determined with the same
transition model by fitting the same sources of data. Please reference
Alvaro et al (2020) Geology, 48:24 as the source.

| Quartz PVT
|
This is a full P-V-T EoS for quartz, including the elastic softening in both alpha and beta quartz due to the alpha-beta
phase transition, but with a linear alpha-beta phase boundary with slope of 240GPa/K, from Thermocalc. EoS parameters
were determined by fitting simultaneously to both elastic moduli and P-T-V data. From Angel et al (2017) Contribs. Min. Pet., 172:29.

| Quartz PVT
|
This is a P-V-T EoS for quartz using a model similar to that in
Thermocalc, with elastic softening only in alpha quartz.
Linear alpha-beta phase boundary with slope of 240GPa/K, from Thermocalc. These EoS parameters
were determined by fitting simultaneously to both elastic moduli and P-T-V data and can be used with Thermocalc.

Rutile cell
|
These are EoS for the cell parameters and the volume of rutile determined by fitting simultaneously to both elastic moduli and
diffraction data in the literature. Full details in a manuscript by
Zaffiro et al. (2019), Mineralogical Magazine, 83:339. The
only difference from the published paper is that these files contain the cell parameters at the reference conditions to allow them
to be used in the CELL utility.
All three EoS are loaded in one eos file. You can chose the individual eos (a, c, or V) out of the file with the load command of EosFit7c, or you
can load them all simultaneously from this file into the CELL utility of EosFit7c. The EosFit-GUI and calculator will automatically read the first EoS
in the file, which is for the volume.
You can try fitting the data yourself with the three dataset files for rutile formatted for EosFit:
cell parameters and volume dataset
adiabatic linear and bulk moduli at high T
adiabatic bulk moduli at high P
To use these data files, remove the '.txt' extension from the file name.

Rutile MGD
Rutile qcompMGD
|
These are two versions of the MGD EoS fitted to the same data for rutile. One is the general form of the MGD
with a refined value of the q-parameter, and the other is the q-compromise version. Both provide a very similar
PVT relationship as the 'isothermal' PVT EoS given above, but may be more reliable at more extreme P and T.
For a discussion of
the role of the q-parameter in MGD EoS, the concept of q-compromise EoS, and a comparison of different EoS of rutile see
Angel et al. (2020), Mineralogical Magazine, 84:355-357.

Spinel EoS
|
This is an MGD EoS fitted to all consistent published volume and elasticty data for relatively well-ordered MgAl2O4 spinel. For calculations of
volume at temperatures above 800C a correction for the effect of changes in the state of cation order is required. For full details of the data used, the
refinement of the EoS and the corrections for cation ordering, see
Hagiwara et al (2022) Contributions to Mineralogy & Petrology, 177, 108.

Zircon MGD
|
This is an MGD EoS fitted to new PV and elasticity data for zircon, together with literature TV data. This EoS has been developed by
Alix Ehlers of Virginia Tech. Full details of the data and fitting are in
Ehlers et al (2022) American Mineralogist, 107, 74-81.
|
Zircon a,c,V EoS
|
These are isothermal-type EoS for the zircon volume and unit-cell parameters fitted to the same datasets as described for the MGD EoS for zircon in
Ehlers et al (2022) American Mineralogist, 107, 74-81.
All three EoS are loaded in one eos file. You can chose the individual eos (a, c, or V) out of the file with the load command of EosFit7c, or you
can load them all simultaneously from this file into the CELL utility of EosFit7c. The EosFit-GUI and calculator will automatically read the first EoS
in the file, which is for the volume.
The c-axis of zircon is very incompressible. Therefore, in the CELL utility of EosFit7c we recommend using the EoS for the a-cell parameter and the volume
to calculate the c-axis. See
Journal of Applied Crystallography, 54, 1621-1630 or the
reprint for more details.

Fluid EoS:
The equations of state of fluids are far more complex than those of solids and there are many different algebraic formulations
for them. It is therefore not practical to code all of these equations into EosFit. We provide an alternative with the IMPORT
utility of EosFit7c. It allows you to import a text file containing a table of volumes as a function of P and T. You can generate the
text file yourself with any suitable software. The properties of the fluid are then calaculated in EosFit7c by interpolation between the table values.
They cannot be used in the GUI or the calculator.
Full details are given in the EosFit7 help system, in the section about IMPORT.
Two examples are provided here:
To use these data files, remove the '.txt' extension from the file name.
Note that the information given at the top of these two
examples are not used by the release version of EosFit7c.
