Elemental barium adopts a series of high-pressure phases with such complex crystal structures that some of them have eluded structure determination for many years. Using single-crystal synchrotron ...

Barium is obtained chiefly from the mineral barite consisting of barium-sulfate. The baryte group also includes celestite, or strontium-sulfate, used to produced purple fireworks. Baryte crystals ...
