28. From the Ehrenfest-type relation (Equation presented) [40] ((Equation presented) is the jump of the uniaxial thermal expansion coefficient at (Equation presented) and the index (Equation presented) stands for the direction), and using an estimated room-temperature value (Equation presented) [26] and (Equation presented) from Ref. [9], an in-plane pressure derivative (Equation presented) is obtained, in reasonable agreement with previous results [9].
