Ross, N.L., Akaogi, M., Navrotsky, A., Susaki, J. and McMillan, P. (1986). Phase transitions among the CaGeO3 polymorphs (wollastonite, garnet, and perovskite structures): Studies by high-pressure synthesis, high-temperature calorimetry, and vibrational spectroscopy and calculation. Journal of Geophysical Research 91: doi: 10.1029/JB091iB05p04685. issn: 0148-0227.

Phase boundaries for the reactions CaGeO3 (wollastonite→garnet) and CaGeO3 (garnet→perovskite) were determined at high pressure and temperature. The enthalpies of these transitions were measured by high temperature calorimetry. These studies indicate a positive dP/dT for the wollastonite-garnet transition and a negative dp/dT for the garnet-perovskite transition. These PT slopes are further supported by calculations of lattice vibrational entropies based on Kieffer's model and the infrared and Raman spectra of the three polymorphs.
