Bulk modulus



The bulk modulus refers to the ratio of pressure to the decrease in volume. This is the inverse of compressibility.

To convert GPa to Pa multiply by 109.

Data are largely from references 1, 2, and 3. Data for the lanthanides were taken from reference 4. Some other data is in reference 5.
