A combined high-pressure experimental and theoretical study of the electronic band-structure of scheelite-type AWO4 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba, Pb) compounds

The optical-absorption edge of single crystals of CaWO4, SrWO4, BaWO4, and PbWO4 has been measured under high pressure up to ∼20 GPa at room temperature. From these measurements, we have obtained the evolution of the band-gap energy with pressure. We found a low-pressure range (up to 7–10 GPa) where...

Zusammenfassung:The optical-absorption edge of single crystals of CaWO4, SrWO4, BaWO4, and PbWO4 has been measured under high pressure up to ∼20 GPa at room temperature. From these measurements, we have obtained the evolution of the band-gap energy with pressure. We found a low-pressure range (up to 7–10 GPa) where alkaline-earth tungstates present a very small Eg pressure dependence (− 2.1
