Chapter 3 Perovskite Perfect Perovskite CompositionsThe mineral Perovskite (CaTiO3) is named after a Russian mineralogist, Count LevAleksevich von Perovski, and was discovered and named by Gustav Rose in 1839from samples found in the Ural Mountains [95]. Since then considerable atten-tion has been paid to the Perovskite family of compositions. The Perovskite is atrue engineering ceramic material with a plethora of applications spanning energyproduction (SOFC technology) [96], environmental containment (radioactive wasteencapsulation) [97] and communications (dielectric resonator materials) [98]. Of themore exotic applications, LaGaO3, PrGaO3and NdGaO3are being considered assubstrates for epitaxy of highTcsuperconductors [99].79 Chapter 3. Perovskite Perfect Crystallography of The Perovskite StructureThe Perovskite structure has the general stoichiometry ABX3, where A and B are cations and X is an anion.
