Whereas the beta form had been identified in 1845, [3] α-PbO 2 was first identified in 1946 and found as a naturally occurring mineral 1988. [ 4 ] The alpha form has orthorhombic symmetry, space group Pbcn (No. 60), Pearson symbol oP 12, lattice constants a = 0.497 nm, b = 0.596 nm, c = 0.544 nm, Z = 4 (four formula units per unit cell).

Lead oxides are a group of inorganic compounds with formulas including lead (Pb) and oxygen (O).. Common lead oxides include: Lead(II) oxide, PbO, litharge (red), massicot (yellow)
Scrutinyite / ˈ s k r uː t ɪ n i. aɪ t / is a rare oxide mineral and is the alpha crystalline form of lead dioxide (α-PbO 2), plattnerite being the other, beta form. The mineral was first reported in 1988 and its name reflects the scrutiny and efforts required to identify it from a very limited amount of available sample material.
Plattnerite is found in numerous arid locations in North America (US and Mexico), most of Europe, Asia (Iran and Russia), Africa and Southern and Western Australia.It occurs in weathered hydrothermal base-metal deposits as hay-like bundles of dark prismatic crystals with a length of a few millimeters; the bundles grow on, or sometimes within various minerals, [5] including cerussite ...

Lead combusts at high temperature. [5] According to the Barton pot method, refined molten lead droplets are oxidized under a forced air flow which carries them out to the separation system (e.g. cyclonic separators) for further processing. [5] [6]: 245 Oxides produced by this method are mostly a mixture of α-PbO and β-PbO. The overall ...
Such states of matter are studied in condensed matter physics. In extreme conditions found in some stars and in the early universe, atoms break into their constituents and matter exists as some form of degenerate matter or quark matter. Such states of matter are studied in high-energy physics.
The field equations of condensed matter physics are remarkably similar to those of high energy particle physics. As a result, much of the theory of particle physics applies to condensed matter physics as well; in particular, there are a selection of field excitations, called quasi-particles , that can be created and explored.
