  • Abstract
    The present paper describes the synthesis, characterization, structural refinement and optical absorption behavior of lead tungstate (PbWO4) powders obtained by the complex polymerization method heat treated at different temperatures for 2 h in air atmosphere. PbWO4 powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement, Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectroscopy and ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption spectroscopy measurements. XRD, Rietveld refinement and FT-Raman revealed that PbWO4 powders are free of secondary phases and crystallizes in a tetragonal structure. The UV–vis absorption spectroscopy measurements suggest the presence of intermediary energy levels into the band gap of structurally disordered powders.
