Comment on “Molten salt synthesis of barium molybdate and tungstate microcrystals”

In this comment we discuss recent results presented by P. Afanasiev on the optical properties of microcrystalline BaMoO₄ and BaWO₄ [Materials Letters 61 (2007) 4622]. Its aim is to show that the band-gap energy reported in that work for BaWO₄ is not reliable and largely underestimate the correct value. As a consequence of it, the challenge made in Ref. [P. Afanasiev, Materials Letters 61 (2007) 4622] to the previous understanding of the electronic structure of scheelite-type compounds is not valid.

Der Leichtbau‐Cluster – ein branchen‐ übergreifendes Netzwerk für den Leichtbau

The Leichtbau‐Cluster – an Interbranch Network for Lightweight Construction The Leichtbau‐Cluster (LC ‐ Competence Network for Lightweight Technologies) is an interbranch network of enterprises, university‐level and other (commercial) research institutions. The multidisciplinary cooperation strengthens innovation and increases the competitive ability of the associated partners. The network activities especially focus on the needs of small and medium‐sized businesses. The three principal topics discussed are: Materials for lightweight applications, lightweight construction modes an design principles, advanced manufacturing technology for lightweight applications. The objective targets are supported and therefore the network is co‐funded by bavarian state government. The University of Applied Sciences Landshut is the network's legally responsible body.
