Thin leaf-like indium particles and method for producing same, glitter pigment, and water-based paint and coating film

Thin leaf-like indium particles,

• the thin leaf-like indium particles having a first peak and a second peak at a greater particle diameter than a particle diameter at which the first peak appears in a volume-based particle size distribution representing a relationship between particle diameters of indium particles and ratios by volume of the indium particles at the particle diameters,
• a volume V1 of the indium particles at the first peak and a volume V2 of the indium particles at the second peak satisfying a formula (V1/V2)×100≥25%,
• wherein a cumulative 50% volume-based particle diameter D50 of the indium particles is 0.14 micrometers or greater and 0.70 micrometers or less, and wherein an average thickness of the indium particles is 37 nm or greater and 60 nm or less.
