Barium tungstate

Barium tungstate is an inorganic chemical compound of barium and the tungstate anion.

Barium tungstate can be obtained from the precipitation reaction between barium nitrate and ammonium paratungstate or sodium tungstate.

It is a white solid, which at normal conditions forms tetragonal crystals similar to scheelite, CaWO4. Under pressures above 7 GPa, the compound undergoes transformation to a monoclinic structure similar to fergusonite, YNbO4.

Barium tungstate can be used as a frequency shifter in laser technology. It has uses in X-ray photography and as a pigment.
