XPS studies of the bulk oxides of lead reveal no clear evidence for the presence of the expected two oxidation states of lead in Pb304. They also show that the Pb 4fbinding energies of the two crystallographic modifications of lead monoxides are the same, within experimental error, but are greater than those for P-PbOz. These results are discussed in the light of lattice potential calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
