We treated the exchange-correlation interaction by both the local density approximation(LDA) and generalized gradient approximation(GGA) with the Perdew-Burker-Ernzerhof functional. Our simulation was conducted for the pressure range of 0–19 GPa. We obtained the isothermal bulk modulus(K_T) of the MgCr_2O_4 spinel as 181.46(48) GPa(GGA; low boundary) or 216.1(11) GPa(LDA; high boundary), with its first derivative(K'_T) as 4.41(6) or 4.5(1), respectively. The oxygen parameter u is not constant but negatively correlated with P, and decreases by about 0.5–0.6% for the investigated P range. The component polyhedra have different compressibilities, increasing in the order of(O_4)_1展开更多
