Any other information on results incl. tables

Because of the high vapor pressure at the melting point temperature (650°C) of Mg it easily sublimates in vacuum.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The vapor pressure of the solid Mg at the melting point (650°C) is 372 Pa
The vapor pressure of the liquid Mg at the freezing(/melting point) (650°C) is 358 Pa
