High-pressure crystal structures and compressibilities have been determined by x-ray methods for MgAl2O4spinel and its isomorph magnetite, Fe3O4. The measured bulk moduli, K, of spinel and magnetite (assuming K′=4) are 1.94±0.06 and 1.86±0.05 Mbar, respectively, in accord with previous ultrasonic determinations. The oxygenuparameter, the only variable atomic position coordinate in the spinel structure (Fd3m,Z=8), decreases with pressure in MgAl2O4, thus indicating that the magnesium tetrahedron is more compressible than the aluminum octahedron. In magnetite theuparameter is unchanged, and both tetrahedron and octahedron display the 1.9 Mbar bulk modulus characteristic of the entire crystal. This behavior contrasts with that of nickel silicate spinel (γ-Ni2SiO4), in which theuparameter increases with pressure because the silicon tetrahedron is relatively incompressible compared to the nickel octahedron.
