description

In-situ high-pressure X-ray diffraction studies were performed on EuWO4 to 12 GPa. We found that EuWO4 transforms from the tetragonal I41/a structure to the monoclinic I2/a structure at 8.5(5) GPa, being this phase transition re- versible. No other structural change is detected up to 12 GPa. The EOS of EuWO4 is determined from the pressure–volume data. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
