Perovskite Crystal Lattice Structure
SKU: 68790W
Use the Indigo® 3D perovskite crystal structure model (ABX3) for teaching CaTiO3, BaTiO3, PbTiO3 & halide perovskites. Its simple design demonstrates octahedral coordination & lattice versatility.
Perovskites share a crystal framework with the mineral calcium titanium oxide (CaTiO3) and form the basis of a vast family of compounds that underpin modern science and technology. Their distinctive lattice allows for an extraordinary range of substitutions at both the cation and anion sites, giving rise to tunable electrical, magnetic, and optical properties.
Because of this flexibility, perovskites are central to frontier applications such as high-efficiency solar cells, superconductors, fuel cells, catalysts, and next-generation display technologies. The same structural adaptability that excites researchers also makes perovskites a core teaching tool, illustrating how slight changes in atomic arrangement can transform material behavior.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (scroll down to see "Skeletal (Orbit/Minit) and are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
