Pb(SbO3)2 CdS PbCrO4 Goals What are the goals of your research. What scientific concepts are you trying to understand? What pigments are you trying to replace and why? Traditional pigments:

Origins of Color What electronic excitations are responsible for color in each of your end members? What electronic excitations are responsible for color across your solid solution? Why/how might you expect the color to vary across the solid solution?
Band Gaps (or Absorption Peaks) 2.50 eV 2.53 eV 2.48 eV 2.41 eV 2.32 eV 2.27 eV 2.27 eV PbCrO4 Pb0.9Sr0.1CrO4 Pb0.8Sr0.2CrO4 Pb0.5Sr0.5CrO4 Pb0.2Sr0.8CrO4 Pb0.1Sr0.9CrO4 SrCrO4
Band Gap as a Function of Composition Be sure to define which composition corresponds to x = 0 and which to x = 1.
Conclusions and Future Directions Did you form a solid solution? If so over what composition ranges? What colors were your samples? Are the colors what you would expect from the UV-Vis spectra? How did the band gap vary as a function of composition? Would these samples make good pigments? What would you do next to reach the goal stated on the first slide? What other compositions might be tried? What have you learned about the relationship between composition, optical absorption and color?
