Abstract

Because the perovskite structure consists of dense packing of ions, a less dense structured ABO3 compound with relatively large A and small B cations generally transforms to a perovskite-type phase at high pressure. In Earth science, it is established that MgSiO3-rich bridgmanite with an orthorhombic perovskite structure is the most abundant constituent mineral of the Earth’s lower mantle. In solid-state physics, materials science and engineering, various ABO3 oxides with perovskite-type and related structures have received much attention owing to their interesting dielectric, optical and other physical properties, and they are used as functional materials in industry. In this chapter, we discuss crystal chemistry of ABO3 perovskites stable at atmospheric pressure and at high pressures and show the high-pressure and high-temperature phase relations. Thermodynamic stability of ABO3 perovskites is discussed on the basis of enthalpy of formation in terms of ionic radii of A and B cations. We also discuss compounds with perovskite-related structures such as LiNbO3-type phases to which perovskites convert on release of pressure, as well as various types of hexagonal perovskites with layered structures.
