The monoclinic-to-tetragonal phase transformation in LaNbO4 has been investigated by X-ray diffraction and dilatometry in this article.
Abstract
The monoclinic-to-tetragonal phase transformation in LaNbO4 has been investigated by X-ray diffraction and dilatometry. Based on the experimental results and theoretical concerns (Landau theory and thermodynamics), it is suggested that this transformation is second order in nature.

Determination of the State Parameters and Formulation of Spontaneous Strain for Ferroelastics

TL;DR: In this article, the spontaneous strain of a crystal which becomes ferroelastic is defined as a linear combination of linear combinations of elements of mechanical strain tensors each of which, at null stress, is not equal in all the orientation states of the crystal and is zero over the whole temperature range in the prototypic phase.

TL;DR: The high-temperature structure of tetragonal LaNbO 4 has been determined by powder neutron diffraction methods as discussed by the authors, and the structure is isomorphous with scheelite (CaWO 4 ) and is unusual in that it contains Nb 5+ ions in an almost undistorted tetrahedral oxygen environment.
