Perovskite structure

A cubic structure whose form is seen in many ABO3 oxides, in which the A atom is at the corners of the cube, the B atom in the middle, and the oxygen atoms in the centre of the face edges. Identified for the first time in the form of CaTiO3, this structure is named after the Russian mineralogist L. A. Perovski (1792-1856).
