Abstract

Applications of computer-based group-theoretical methods to perovskite crystallography are reviewed. Such methods furnish a systematic account of the effects on the high-symmetry parent structure of diverse distortions. New results are presented for elpasolites (ordered double perovskites) when both ferroelectric cation displacement and simple octahedral tilting are allowed. Group-theoretical results prove invaluable in assisting experimental studies of perovskites since, if the nature of the distortion is known, they limit the possible structures or, in relation to more extensive studies, constrain the sequences of structures that may occur. Spontaneous strains and the estimation of order parameters are briefly discussed. Group-theoretical methods are undoubtedly a powerful aid to the study of perovskite crystallography, and their computer implementation makes them more accessible than hitherto.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
