CaWO4 crystals were synthesized by a microemulsion method. Various sizes and shapes of CaWO4 were obtained by changing the molar ratio (w) of H2O to CTAB. At w=5 and 10, oval CaWO4 crystals with length of 100 nm and 500 nm were obtained, respectively. At w=20, rod-like CaWO4 crystal with length of 1 μm was obtained. The sphere CaWO4 crystal with length of about 2~3 μm was obtained at w=30. The CaWO4 crystal morphology changes from oval to sphere via a rod by aggregation with increasing the molar ratio of H2O to CTAB.

Photoluminescence (PL) and crystal structures of the $(l-x)CaWO_4-xLi_2WO_4$ binary system added with $Eu_2O_3$ activator have been characterized. The $CaWO_4\;and\;Li_2WO_4$ have the scheelite and phenakite structures respectively. The $CaWO_4-Li_2WO_4-Eu_2O_3$ phosphors show the red luminescence of 613 nm peak wavelength. The wavelength range of excitation spectral band is $380\~470$ nm with the peak wavelength of 397 nm. The $0.88(0.5CaWO_4-0.5Li_2WO_4)-0.12Eu_2O_3$ showed the most superior luminescence characteristics. The effect of co-doping elements such as $Al_2O_3$ and rare-earth oxides on PL has been characterized. The co-doping elements deteriorated the luminescence intensity except the $Al_2O_3$ and $Gd_2O_3$. The PL characteristics of $CaWO_4-Li_2WO_4-Eu_2O_3$ phosphors have been compared to those of the alkali europium double molybdates (tungstates) of scheelite-related structure such as $LiEu(MoO_4)_2$ and $CsEu(MoO_4)_2$. The crystal structures of $(l-y)[(l-x)CaWO_4-xLi_2WO_4]-yEu_2O_3$ phosphors have been characterized using XRD data and rietveld refinement.

$CaWO_4:Sm_x$(x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mol%) white phosphors with different concentrations of $Sm^{3+}$ ions were synthesized using the hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, surface, and optical properties of the $CaWO_4:Sm_x$ phosphors were investigated using X-ray diffraction(XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), photoluminescence(PL) and photoluminescence excitation(PLE). From the XRD results, the crystal structure of the $CaWO_4:Sm$ phosphors was found to be tetragonal. The $CaWO_4:Sm$ phosphors became more cohesive with increasing $Sm^{3+}$-ion concentration. The photoluminescence excitation(PLE) peak of the phosphors, at around 250 nm, was ascribed to the transition from the 1A1 ground-state to the high-vibration level of 1T2 in the $WO{_4}^{2-}$ complex. The maximum emission spectra of the phosphors were observed when the $Sm^{3+}$ concentration was 0.5 mol%. The luminescence intensity of the $CaWO_4$ phosphors was decreased for $Sm^{3+}$ concentrations greater than 0.5 mol%.

In this study,. the microwave dielectric properties of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4CaWO_4$ ceramics with sintering temperature were investigated for LTCC application. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns, the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4CaWO_4$ ceramics had columbite structure of the $TiTe_3O_8$ phase and scheelite structure of the $CaWO_4$ phase. Increasing the sintering temperature, the bulk density, the dielectric constant and the quality factor of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4CaWO_4$ ceramics were increased. In the case of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4CaWO_4$ ceramics sintered at $810^{\circ}C$, the bulk density, the dielectric constant and the quality factor were 5.72$g/cm^2$, 33.6, 22,013GHz respectively.

Two types of Tb- and Na-substituted green phosphors $Ca_{(1-1.5x)}WO_4:Tb_x^{3+}$: and $Ca_{(1-2x)}WO_4:Tb_x^{3+},Na_x^+$ were synthesized with various x values, using a solid-state reaction. The former phosphors contained both substitutional and vacancy point defects, while the later had only substitutional defects. X-ray diffraction results showed that the main diffraction peak, (112), was centered at $2{\theta}=28.72^{\circ}$ and indicated that there was no basic structural deformation caused by substitutions or vacancies. The photoluminescence emission and photoluminescence excitation spectra revealed the optical properties of trivalent terbium ions, $Tb^{3+}$. Typical transitions, $^5D_3{\rightarrow}^7F_6,\;^7F_5,\;^7F_4$ and $^5D_4{\rightarrow}^7F_6,\;^7F_5,\;^7F_4,\;^7F_3$, and cross relaxations were observed. Subtle differences in the photoluminescence of green phosphors were observed as a result of the point defects. The FT-IR spectra indicated that some of the ungerade vibrational modes had shifted positions and changed shapes, spreading out over a wide range of frequencies. This change can be attributed to the different masses of $Tb^{3+}$ and $Na^+$ ions and $V_{Ca}$" vacancies compared to $Ca^{2+}$ ions. The gerade normal modes of the Raman spectra exhibited subtle differences resulting from point defects in $Ca_{(1-1.5x)}Tb_xWO_4$ and $Ca_{(1-2x)}Tb_xNa_xWO_4$.

Red phosphors $Ca_{(1-1.5x)}Eu_xWO_4$ and $Ca_{(1-2x)}Eu^_xNa_xWO_4$ were synthesized with various concentrations x of $Eu^{3+}$ ions by using a solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure of the red phosphors were found to be a tetragonal scheelite structure with space group $I4_1/a$. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show the (112) main diffraction peak centered at $2{\theta}=28.71^{\circ}$, and indicate that there is no basic structural deformation caused by the vacancies ${V_{Ca}}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$ or the $Eu^{3+}$ (and $Na^+$) ions in the host crystals. Densities of $Ca_{(1-1.5x)}Eu_xWO_4$ were measured on a (helium) gas pycnometer. Comparative results between the experimental and theoretical densities reveal that $Eu^{3+}$ (and $Na^+$) ions replace the $Ca^{2+}$ ions in the host $CaWO_4$. Also, the photoluminescence (PL) emission and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra show the optical properties of trivalent $Eu^{3+}$ ions, not of divalent $Eu^{2+}$. Raman spectra exhibit that, without showing any difference before and after the doping of activators to the host material $CaWO_4$, all the gerade normal modes occur at the identical frequencies with the same shapes and weaker intensities after the substitution. However, the FT-IR spectra show that some of the ungerade normal modes have shifted positions and different shapes, caused by different masses of $Eu^{3+}$ ions (or $Na^+$ ions, or ${V_{Ca}}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$ vacancies) from $Ca^{2+}$.

Lately, intensifying screen of the $CaWO_4$ is used to medical treatment and diagnosis of the image. In this paper, we investigated transmission fraction and mass attenuation coefficient of $CaWO_4$ screen about diagnostic x-ray of low energy using MCNP 4C code. Experimentally, for 0.9 mm-$CaWO_4$ screen, the absorbable rate of diagnostic x-ray is more than 95%. according to kVp, the experimental value of mass attenuation coefficient is in a1most agreement with an corrected estimate value of MCNP and the deviation of experimental values is less than ${\pm}7%$. Using the MCNP code through this paper, we can make an estimate of signal and design for construction of the CaWO4/a-Se based digital x-ray image detector and make a good use of the foundation data for development of other materials.

Microwave dielectric properties of $(1-x)CaWO_4-xYNbO_4$ ceramics have been investigated as a function of $YNbO_4$ content($0.05{\leq}x{\leq}0.4$). A single phase with tetragonal scheelite structure was obtained up to x=0.10 and then the secondary phase with fergusonite structure was increased. With the increase of $YNbO_4$ content, apparent densities of the specimens were decreased. This results were due to the lower theoretical density of $YNbO_4(5.581g/cm^3)$ than that of $CaWO_4(6.117g/cm^3)$. Dielectric constant(K) and quality factor(Qf) were decreased with $YNbO_4$ content which could be attribute to the decrease of density and the increase of secondary phase. Temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) of the specimens with the $YNbO_4$ content was depended on dielectric mixing rule.

The electrolysis of tungstic oxide dissolved in the bath of calcium chloride and calcium oxide was studied to produce metallic tungsten using carbon as anode and iron as cathode in the temperature range of 900^{\circ}$ to $1200^{\circ}C$. The binary phase diagrams $CaCl_2$-CaO and $CaCl_2-CaWO_4$ systems were constructed to determine the suitability of bath composition and the range of temperatures for the electrolysis. As $WO_3$ reacted with $CaCl_2$ to form oxychloride in the fused salt, the addition of the proper amount of CaO was necessary to avoid the loss of $WO_3$. The optimum compositions of fused bath were $CaCl_2$ 100 parts, CaO and $WO_3$ each 10 to 20 parts, with the CaO, $WO_3$ ratio greater than unity, to keep freezing point low and to prevent the vaporization of $CaCl_2$. The observed decomposition voltage at which $WO_3$ decomposes to W and CO was-0.1 volt, whereas the calculated was -0.3 volt. Metallic tungsten deposited at the cathode reacted easily with CO formed secondarily at the anode surface, to form WC below $1050^{\circ}C$, so that the cell temperature should be above $1050^{\circ}C$. The effects of cathode current densities on current efficiency were minor in the range of 1 to 5 $amp/cm^2$.
