Thirumalaisamy, R. Saravanan] The precise electronic structure of lead molybdate (PbMoO4) has been studied using powder X-ray data. The acousto-optical, photoconductivity, luminescence, ad thermoluminescence properties in PbMoO4 in general, depend on the electron density distribution in the MoO4 tetrahedron and PbO8 octahedron. Hence, a complete analysis of the bonding interaction between Mo and O atoms in MoO4 and Pb and O atoms in PbO8 has been studied. The bonding between the atoms using the maximum entropy method (MEM) and bond length distribution using pair distribution function (PDF) has been analyzed. The valence state of oxygen atom is found to be responsible for the sensible properties in PbMoO4. The particle size of PbMoO4 is also analyzed using XRD and SEM. The band gap energy has also been calculated using UV-visible spectra. A study in terms of the local structure and electron density using versatile tools like MEM and PDF is lacking in literature. Hence this work complements these aspects. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, 2011 Thirumalaisamy T. Department of Physics, H.K.R.H.
