Use only the high-pressure CsCl structure branch to extrapolate its volume per formula unit . A straight-line least-squares fit to those three measurements gives approximatelywith in GPa. Thus , and . Taking Cu K wavelength in Bragg's law givesThe estimate is model-dependent: a straight-line extrapolation of instead gives . The data stop at , so the absence of further phase transitions does not by itself determine an exact equation of state to . The peak can also be weak because its basis factor is .
