Title: 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.
