Structure
Its crystal structure is rhombohedral with a space group of R3m, the same as in strontium phosphate.
Properties
Barium phosphate exhibits properties such as high refractive index, low melting and low glass transition temperature, high transparency to ultraviolet light, and high thermal expansion coefficient.
