BaWO 4 nanorods have been successfully synthesized in w/o microemulsion system containing barium ions via a simple reaction between Ba 2+ and . The BaWO 4 Nanorods were characterized by XRD, TEM, and SEM, respectively. Results showed that the solvents composition—volume ratio of 4-dioxane and distilled water—played the key role in the formation of BaWO 4 Nanorods. Furthermore, the strong vibration at 925 cm ﹣ 1 on its Raman spectrum indicated that the BaWO4 nanorods is good at stimulating Raman scattering in transient and steady-state, making it as a promising candidate material for laser with self-raman conversion of radiation inside the active medium.
