Abstract
A modified Rydberg–Vinet equation-of-state (mRV EOS) with an arbitrary nonzero-pressure reference point, as is derived strictly from the related Rydberg potential, has been applied to the mantle and the core. The tests and comparisons demonstrate that mRV EOS is superior to the reciprocal [Formula: see text]-primed equation [see F. D. Stacey and P. M. Davis, Phys. Earth Planet. Inter. 142 (2004) 137] not only because of its higher fitting accuracy but also because it has fewer fitting parameters and is easier to use.
