Here, the presence of $R$ dictates how effectively thermal energy ($T$) overcomes the combined potential barrier ($E^* + \beta P^4$). The term $P^4$ is specific to models incorporating the fourth-order pressure dependence of ionic mobility, which becomes significant in mineral phases under megabar conditions \[[7]\].
Similarly, in models describing basal creep in large ice sheets, $R$ modulates the [activat… -
