Calcium tungstate (CaWO4) crystals were prepared by microwave-assisted hydrothermal (MAH) and polymeric precursor methods (PPM). These crystals were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption, X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements. The morphology and size of these crystals were observed by field emission scanni...
Barium molybdate and Barium tungstate are important materials due their photoluminescent properties and they also have catalysis and photocatalysis applications. In this work, powders of these compounds were prepared by microwave-assisted hydrothermal (MAH) method and polymeric precursor method (PPM) and their structural and optical properties were studied. Furthermore, these materials were employed as solid ca...
