An evaluation of calcium tungsten oxide (CaWO4) nanoparticles’ properties was conducted using the powders generated from an all-alkoxide solvothermal (SOLVO) route. The reaction involved a toluene/pyridine mixture of tungsten(V) ethoxide ([W(OEt)5]) with calcium bis(trimethyl silyl) amide ([Ca(N(Si(CH3)3)2]) modified in situ by a series of alcohols (H-OR) including neo-pentanol (H-OCH2C(CH3)3 or H-ONep) or sterically varied aryl alcohols (H-OC6H3R2-2,6 where R = CH3 (H-DMP), CH(CH3)2 (H-DIP), C(CH3)3 (DBP))]. Attempts to identify the intermediates generated from this series of reactions led to the crystallographic identification of [(OEt)4W(μ-OEt)2Ca(DBP)2] (1). Each different SOLVO generated “initial” powder was found by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) to be nanomaterials roughly assigned as the scheelite phase (PDF 00-041-1431); however, these initial powders displayed no luminescent behavior as determined by photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Thermal processing of these powders at 450, 650, and 750 °C yielded progressively larger and more crystalline scheelite nanoparticles. Both PL and cathodoluminescent (CL) emission (422–425 and 429 nm, respectively) were observed for the nanomaterials processed at 750 °C. Ion beam induced luminescence (IBIL, 478 nm) appeared to be in agreement with these PL and CL measurements. Further processing of the materials at 1000 °C, led to a coalescence of the particles and significant improvement in the observed PL (445 nm) and CL measurements; however, the IBIL spectrum of this material was significantly altered upon exposure. These data suggest that the smaller nanoparticles were more stable to radiation effects possibly due to the lack of energy deposits based on the short track length; whereas the larger particles appear to suffer from radiation induced structural defects.

Calcium tungstate phosphors activated by the Ln³⁺ ions (Ln=Pr, Nd, Tb, Yb) were synthesized by a traditional high-temperature solid-state method. The crystal structures and morphologies of the products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powders diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectra (FT-IR). The samples were found to show luminescence properties (down-conversion, DC, at excitation wavelength 254 nm and up-conversion, UC, at excitation wavelength 980 nm). CaWO4 doped with Tb³⁺/Yb³⁺showed green DC and UC luminescence characteristic of Tb(III) ion in the range of 470-660 nm, cor-responding to the ⁵D₄→⁷F_6,5,4,3,2 electronic transition. CaWO₄ doped with Pr³⁺/Yb³⁺showed week blue, green and red (DC and UC) luminescence of Pr(III) ion, in the wavelength region of 450-700 nm. Emission peaks were ascribed to the ³P₁→³H_4,5,6, ³P₀→³H_4,5,6, ³P₁→³F₂ and ³P₀→³F₂ transitions, respectively. CaWO₄ doped with Nd³⁺/Yb³⁺phosphor emitted orange UC luminescence at 450-690 nm (²P_3/2→⁴I_15/2, ⁴G_7/2→⁴I_{9/2,11/2,13/2}) and strong near-infrared UC luminescence at 720-900 nm (⁴F_7/2+⁴S_3/2→⁴I_9/2, ⁴F_5/2+²H_3/2→⁴I_9/2, ⁴F_3/2→⁴I_9/2) which is the characteristic of Nd(III) ion.

Due to tungsten alloy has high density, excellent radiation attenuation properties, and environmental friendly, it is widely used in medical imaging technology. Medical imaging technology has tended to become more integrated over the past decade. While combined Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) is rapidly gaining popularity, no commercial systems for combining the complementary functional imaging techniques of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and MRI have been developed. This is mainly due to the physical space constraint, magnetic incompatibility of collimators and the required rotation mechanism inside the MRI bore. Some approaches investigated this integration but no one focused on the development of preclinical SPECT systems and their integration with pre-clinical MRI without compromising image quality and taking into account the MR-compatibility of the collimator material. This study investigates eddy currents in the collimator due to the magnetic field gradients, for different resistivities of tungsten, for small animal SPECT/MRI. Collimator resistivity can be tuned nowadays through tungsten additive.

Beam collimators, which are usually made of tungsten alloy shielding, including linear accelerators and tungsten multi-leaf collimators and so on. Beam collimators are 'beam direction' devices used in the X-ray tube housing, along with an arrangement of mirrors and lights, in such a way that the light and X-ray fields match each other. They are made of lead shutters which completely absorb the photons, and thus reduce patient dose as well as focus the radiation accordingly to the area of interest. They allow different projections of X-ray fields.
 
In linear accelerators (linac), the primary collimator may be constructed of depleted uranium (DU) as this material is approximately 1.6 times more dense than lead. The secondary motorised collimators which greater define the beam shape are constructed of tungsten. Multi-leaf collimators (MLCs) which are now in widespread use in medical linacs consist of two collimator banks of thin tungsten 'leaves' with each bank consisting of 40 to 80 leaves (so a total of 80 to 160 leaves). This allows each tungsten leaf to move independently under computer control. MLCs allow even more diverse field shapes to be created which can shield organs at risk whilst allowing the complex shape of the tumour bed to be irradiated to allow maximum cell kill.

There are three ways for producing tungsten disulfide which are the following:
The first method: tungsten disulfide produces by firing decomposition method. Firstly, stirring tungsten acid and ammonia water with at 57 ~ 60 ℃ to react for three hours, heat prevention  more than 16 hours of natural sedimentation. After reaction get the sodium tungstate then to react with hydrogen sulfide gas, to generate tetrathiotungstate acid. Finally after calcination, the tetrathiotungstate acid will decompose to tungsten disulfide. During the reaction, heating should at 100 ~ 200 ℃ / hr temperature gradient from room temperature to of 700 ~ 1200 ℃. Then after  heat preservation for 24 to 48 hours, then at 30 ~ 110 ℃ / hour temperature gradient descending to room temperature, and finally crushing the material. Related chemical reaction of the reaction equation is as follows:
H2WO4 + 2NH3 • H2O → (NH4) 2WO4 + 2H2O
(NH4) 2WO4 + 4H2S → (NH4) 2WS4 + 4H2O
2 (NH4) 2WS4 + 3O2 → 2WS2 + 4NH3 + 2S + 2SO2 + H2O
The second method: putting sulfur vapor through the red-hot tungsten can form tungsten disulfide
The third method: mixing tungsten with stoichiometric sulfur  at 800 ℃ for 24 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere can be formed WS2. If changing the reaction conditions, namely in 6MPa reacted with 1800 ℃, can be formed orthorhombic WS2.

Tungsten disulfide has similar lubricating properties with graphite, is widely used as a lubricant. And tungsten disulfide as a lubricant performance is better than molybdenum disulfide, mainly due to it properties which is low friction coefficient(0.03), high resistance to extreme pressure and oxidation resistance, namely, tungsten disulfide at 450 ℃ in the air begins to decompose, until 650 ℃ completely decomposed. On the other hand, at1100 ℃ in the vacuum it begins to decompose, until 2000 ℃ completely decomposed. This performance is conducive tungsten disulfide apply in high-temperature, high pressure, high speed, high load, as well as in chemical active media device operation.
Meanwhile tungsten disulfide on the metal surface has a good adsorption capacity can be added to make the original lubrication in engineering plastics or it can mix with volatile solvent sprayed on the metal surface, to improve the life of mold in press forging and workpiece surface finish.
Tungsten disulfide also can mix with the oil, fat oil to form tungsten disulfide, tungsten disulfide grease, wax and other tungsten disulfide solid lubricating block and lubricating film.

Tungsten disulfide is used as solid lubricants, dry film lubricants, self-lubricating composite material, and wherein the nano tungsten disulfide solid lubricant is the best. Mainly because tungsten disulfide nano particles has low friction coefficient, high compressive strength, and with acid erosion resistance, good load performance, non-toxic, wide temperature range, long life and other advantages of lubrication and so it is widely used.
Meanwhile tungsten disulfide nano particles can also be used as an additive to produce high-performance lubricants. After the studies found adding the right amount of tungsten disulfide nano particles in the lubricant can greatly improve the lubricating properties of the lubricant. Under the same conditions, there will improve lubricating properties of adding nanometer WS2 base oil than conventional particles added base oil and has good dispersion stability, friction factor can be reduced by 20% to 50%, the film strength can be increased by 30% ~ 40%, which is far superior lubricating properties than molybdenum disulfide nano particles. With the addition of a lubricant nano particles combines the advantages of solid lubrication and lubrication, which is expected to realize from room temperature to high temperature (over 800 ℃) full lubrication. Therefore, tungsten disulfide nano particles can be used as additives synthesis new lubrication system which has broad application prospects.
