The structural properties of CaWO{sub 4}, SrWO{sub 4}, BaWO{sub 4}, PbWO{sub 4}, and EuWO{sub 4} scintillating crystals under pressure have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray absorption near-edge structure measurements, Raman spectroscopy, and ab initio density functional theory calculations. The results obtained from these studies will be reviewed here and their differences and similitudes discussed.
