Abstract
A MICROSCOPIC examination of crystals of tungsten trioxide (WO3) has revealed a type of twinning very similar to the domain patterns characteristic of the ferroelectric (tetragonal) phase of barium titanate (BaTiO3). This similarity is significant in view of the reported ferroelectric behaviour of tungsten trioxide1.
