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 sesquioxide, Pb 2 O 3, which is a lead (II,IV) oxide as well (lead(II) metaplumbate(IV) [Pb 2+][PbO 2− 3]), reddish yellow Pb 12 O 19 , monoclinic, dark-brown or black crystals The so-called black lead oxide , which is a mixture of PbO and fine-powdered Pb metal and used in the production of lead–acid batteries .
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.
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. These include:
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 ...
3 Pb 2 CO 3 (OH) 2 + O 2 → 2 Pb 3 O 4 + 3 CO 2 + 3 H 2 O. In solution, lead(II,IV) oxide can be prepared by reaction of potassium plumbate with lead(II) acetate, yielding yellow insoluble lead(II,IV) oxide monohydrate Pb 3 O 4 ·H 2 O, which can be turned into the anhydrous form by gentle heating: K 2 PbO 3 + 2 Pb(OCOCH 3) 2 + H 2 O → Pb 3 ...
3) 2 → 2 PbO + 4 NO 2 + O 2 PbCO 3 → PbO + CO 2. PbO is produced on a large scale as an intermediate product in refining raw lead ores into metallic lead. The usual lead ore is galena (lead(II) sulfide). At a temperature of around 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) in air, the sulfide converted to the oxide: [4] 2 PbS + 2 O 2 → 2 PbO + 2 SO 2
