The experiment showed a decrease in compression ratio with increasing expanding pressure, a finding consistent with previous EOS data, especially at pressures below 45 GPa. The isothermal bulk modulus increases with pressure, though a divergence appears between experimental data and the (B-M EOS, Vinet EOS, and Bardeen EOS) beyond 30 GPa.
