The pressure dependence of the structural phase transition temperature has
been measured for the powder samples of NH4MgF3, NH4ZnF3, NH4MnF3, NH4CoF3,
NH4CdF3, and NH4MnCl3 perovskites in the pressure range 0 to 600 MPa. It w
as found that the values of dT(0)/dP are negative for the Mg, Zn. Co. Mn tr
ifluorides and positive for NH4CdF3 and NH4MnCl3. Comparison with the known
data for other halide and oxide perovskites allowed to conclude that the s
ign of dT(0)/dP is correlated with the value of the Goldschmidt tolerance f
actor of the perovskite, and its value is closely related to the temperatur
e and mechanism of the transition.
