Many mixed metal oxides exhibit interesting colors. How do they do so? I have very little idea about it ? Can any one help me to understand the concept behind it?
Thanks Pertsevyi , for your valuable reply. But i would like to know about synthetically prepared mixed metal oxides which are used as industrial pigments
I would recommend: Properties of Materials by Mary Anne White, Oxford University Press 1999, Part II Color and other optical properties of Matter, pages 9-88.
