Abstract
An article is a liquid or solid mixture of a plurality of particles and a binder. The article may be a paint or a freestanding film. The particles have a composition A[xAl(1-x)Ga].sub.2 O.sub.4+.gamma. (.delta.In), wherein A is zinc, magnesium, and/or cadmium, the value of x is from 0 to 1, the value of .delta. is from 0 to about 0.2, and the value of .gamma. is less than about 0.2. In the liquid paint mixture, a paint vehicle is also typically present to impart the desired fluidity to the mixture. The solid paint or film made using this material is white, has very low solar absorptance, and may be made electrically conductive by doping the particles with indium or other appropriate dopant.
