The pressure-driven tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transition in CaWO4 and
related scheelite-structured orthotungstates is analysed in terms of
spontaneous strains. Based upon our previous high-pressure x-ray diffraction
results and the Landau theory, it is suggested that the
scheelite-to-fergusonite transition is of second order in nature.
