High-pressure structural study of the scheelite tungstates CaWO{sub 4} and SrWO{sub 4}
Abstract
Angle-dispersive x-ray-diffraction and x-ray-absorption near-edge structure measurements have been performed on CaWO{sub 4} and SrWO{sub 4} up to pressures of approximately 20 GPa. Both materials display similar behavior in the range of pressures investigated in our experiments. As in the previously reported case of CaWO{sub 4}, under hydrostatic conditions SrWO{sub 4} undergoes a pressure-induced scheelite-to-fergusonite transition around 10 GPa. Our experimental results are compared to those found in the literature and are further supported by ab initio total-energy calculations, from which we also predict the instability at larger pressures of the fergusonite phases against an orthorhombic structure with space group Cmca. Finally, a linear relationship between the charge density in the AO{sub 8} polyhedra of ABO{sub 4} scheelite-related structures and their bulk modulus is discussed and used to predict the bulk modulus of other materials, like hafnon.

Controllable synthesis of hierarchical nanostructures of CaWO{sub 4} and SrWO{sub 4} via a facile low-temperature route
CaWO{sub 4} and SrWO{sub 4} nanostructures have been synthesized via a simple microemulsion-mediated route. With careful control of the fundamental experimental parameters including the concentration of reactants, the reaction time and the temperature, the products with different morphologies of dumbbell, coral, rod and dendrite have been obtained, respectively. The possible formation mechanism of these unique morphologies has been proposed based on surfactant self-assembly under different experimental conditions. The as-synthesized CaWO{sub 4} samples with various morphologies exhibit different photoluminescence properties. X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and luminescence spectroscopy were used to characterize these products. -
Synthesis and magnetic properties of the high-pressure scheelite-type GdCrO{sub 4} polymorph
The scheelite-type polymorph of GdCrO{sub 4} has been obtained from the corresponding zircon-type compound under high pressure and temperature conditions, namely 4 GPa and 803 K. The crystal structure has been determined by X-ray powder diffraction. This GdCrO{sub 4} scheelite crystallizes in a tetragonal symmetry with space group I4{sub 1}/a (No. 88, Z=4), a=5.0501(1) A, c=11.4533(2) A and V=292.099(7) A{sup 3}. The thermal decomposition leads to the formation of the zircon-polymorph as intermediate phase at 773 K to end in the corresponding GdCrO{sub 3} distorted perovskite-structure at higher temperatures. Magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements suggest the existence of long-range antiferromagneticmore »
