Crystals and Crystal Forms
Perovskite
Perovskite is a calcium titanium oxide mineral composed of calcium titanate (chemical formula \(CaTiO_3\)). Its name is also applied to the class of compounds which have the same type of crystal structure as \(CaTiO_3\ (^{XII}A^{2+VI}B^{4+}X^{2−}_3)\), known as the perovskite structure. Many different cations can be embedded in this structure, allowing the development of diverse engineered materials.
