    All atoms heavier than barium

    Explanation:

    In the periodic table, elements are divided into blocks. We have the;

    s - block elements

    p - block elements

    d - block elements

    f - block elements

    However, immediately after Barium, we now encounter elements that have f-orbitals. Barium possesses a fully filled d-orbital. Hence after it, we see elements with 4f and 5f orbitals called the Lanthanides and actinides. The elements following the lanthanide and actinide series possess completely filled f-orbitals as inner orbitals.

    Hence elements heavier than barium all possess f-orbitals.
