The structural stability of polycrystalline BaMoO 4 under hydrostatic pressure has been investigated by means of Raman spectroscopy up to 8 GPa. Raman spectra reveal a pressure induced phase transition at ∼5.8 GPa. Upon pressure release the structure reverts to its ambient pressure scheelite (CaWO 4 ) structure with no observable hysteresis. The large number of Raman active modes of the high pressure phase suggests either an increase of the size of the unit cell and/or a non‐centrosymmetric structure leading to the activation of the ungerade modes of the scheelite structure.
