Dear Gerhard, If I understand correctly, the assumption about the structures of EuTiO3 in PhysRevLett.97.267602 is not accurate enough. The only consider the ground state to be Pm3_m and then do a compression study with P4/mm. PhysRevLett.109.267602 on the other hand pointed that the structure of bulk EuTiO3 in ground state should be I4/mcm. Then, under compression the transition goes from I4/mcm to I4cm to P4mm.
