摘要
The structural phase transitions of the calcium titanate perovskite CaTiO3 were investigated by the Rietveld analysis of high-temperature neutron and X-ray powder diffraction data in the temperature range of 296-1720K. The present work demonstrates that the compound exhibits two reversible phase transitions of orthorhombic Pbnm-tetragonal I4/mcm and of I4/mcm\-cubic Pm (3) over barm at 1498 +/- 25 K and 1634 +/- 13 K, respectively. No evidence of Cmcm phase is observed between the Pbnm and I4/mcm structures. The lattice parameters discontinuously change at the Pbnm-I4/mcm transition point, while a continuous change is observed for the 14/mcm-Pm (3) over barm transformation. These results indicate that the Pbnm-I4/mcm transition is of first order and that the I4/mcm-Pm (3) over barm transformation is of either second or higher order. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.
