Figure 1. Experiments Reveal the Strong Visible-light Absorption of Pb2Ti2O5.4F1.2

Caption

The inset shows an image of Pb2Ti2O5.4F1.2, shown to be capable of absorbing visible light of a wavelength of around 500 nm. This ability is thought to be due to the bonding structure around the Pb cation within the pyrochlore lattice, shown on the right.
