We performed new diffraction experiments to clarify the equation of state (EoS) of stishovite after we suspected systematic errors in previous experimental reports. Using diamond anvil cells, we repeated both single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements under hydrostatic conditions and powder diffraction measurements using the laser-annealing technique and NaCl pressure medium. The major improvement is the increase in precision of the pressure determination using the quartz and NaCl equations of state. Using both sets of data, the stishovite bulk moduli were refined to K₀ = 309.9(1.1) GPa and K₀' = 4.59(0.23). We also reinvestigated the mechanism of the phase transformation to the CaCl₂-structured polymorph of SiO₂ at about 60 GPa. We confirm no volume discontinuity at the transition pressure, but the CaCl₂ form appears slightly more compressible than the rutile-structured form of SiO₂. This change in compression behavior is used for quantitative analyses of the spontaneous strains of the pressure-induced phase transition.
