Figure 1. Sketch of unique charge ordering in PbFeO3 comprising two types of differently charged layers

Caption

Scientists found that PbFeO3 crystallized into a unique state in which a layer composed of Pb2+ ions was interleaved by two layers comprising a mixture of Pb2+ and Pb ions in a 3:1 ratio.
