Descrição

In a recent work by Jiang et al. [Prediction of lattice constant in cubic perovskites, J. Phys. Chem. Solids 67 (2006) 1531–1536], the interrelationship between lattice constant, ionic radii and tolerance factor of cubic perovskites has been established and an empirical equation was obtained. However, the assumption of incorrect ionic coordination led to an incorrect mathematical expression even though the average relative errors between predicted and observed lattice constants of 132 materials were below 1%. Here, corrected coefficients for that empirical expression are obtained, which would likely be useful for investigation of general perovskite materials.
