Vinet equation of state
Implements the third-order Rose-Vinet EOS used by White & Li (2025) and Boujibar et al. (2020). The pressure is expressed in terms of the Eulerian strain parameter \(f = (V/V_0)^{1/3}\) as \(P(f) = 3 K_0 f^{-2}(1-f)\exp[\eta(1-f)]\) with \(\eta = \tfrac{3}{2}(K_0' - 1)\), where \(K_0\) is the zero-pressure isothermal bulk modulus and \(K_0'\) its pressure derivative. Inversion to \(\rho(P)\) uses Brent root-finding. Material parameters cover Fe (solid: Smith+2018 with the White & Li 2025 light-element correction; liquid: Wicks+2018 Fe-7Si), MgSiO\(_3\) perovskite (Fei+2021), MgSiO\(_3\) post-perovskite (Sakai+2016), and peridotite (Stixrude & Lithgow-Bertelloni 2005).

Rose-Vinet equation of state for planetary interior materials.
Implements the 3rd-order Vinet (Rose-Vinet) EOS used by White & Li (2025) and Boujibar et al. (2020) for computing density as a function of pressure. The Vinet EOS relates pressure to the Eulerian strain parameter f = (V/V_0)^(1/3):
P(f) = 3 K_0 f^{-2} (1 - f) exp[eta (1 - f)]
where eta = 3/2 (K_0' - 1), K_0 is the zero-pressure isothermal bulk modulus, and K_0' is its pressure derivative. Inversion to rho(P) uses Brent root-finding.
Material parameters from: - Fe (solid): Smith et al. (2018), with 12.5% thermal+light-element density reduction following White & Li (2025). - Fe (liquid): Wicks et al. (2018), Fe-7Si alloy. - MgSiO3 perovskite: Fei et al. (2021), via Boujibar et al. (2020). - MgSiO3 post-perovskite: Sakai et al. (2016). - Peridotite: Stixrude & Lithgow-Bertelloni (2005).
