Abstract

Computer simulation, using an ionic, Born-like model, is used to investigate the accommodation of titanium impurities in Ca-Al-Fe-O phases. Specifically, calcium titanate solution in Al2O3, Fe2O3, CF, C2F, CA, C(2)A, C(3)A, and C(4)AF (where C denotes CaO) is considered. The simulations predict that titanium impurities are found preferentially in the ferrite phases. At sufficiently high concentrations, the solution involves the formation of clusters containing 3 to 6 ions that strongly resemble the structure of the calcium titanate phase. The calculations reveal that the compensation mechanism varies appreciably over the range of compounds considered. (C) 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers.

Strontium titanate

Strontium titanate is an oxide of strontium and titanium with the chemical formula SrTiO3. At room temperature, it is a centrosymmetric paraelectric material with a perovskite structure. At low temperatures it approaches a ferroelectric phase transition with a very large dielectric constant ~104 but remains paraelectric down to the lowest temperatures measured as a result of quantum fluctuations, making it a quantum paraelectric.

Simulation

A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key characteristics or behaviors of the selected system or process, whereas the simulation represents the evolution of the model over time. Often, computers are used to execute the simulation. Simulation is used in many contexts, such as simulation of technology for performance tuning or optimizing, safety engineering, testing, training, education, and video games.

Computer simulation

Computer simulation is the process of mathematical modelling, performed on a computer, which is designed to predict the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a real-world or physical system. The reliability of some mathematical models can be determined by comparing their results to the real-world outcomes they aim to predict. Computer simulations have become a useful tool for the mathematical modeling of many natural systems in physics (computational physics), astrophysics, climatology, chemistry, biology and manufacturing, as well as human systems in economics, psychology, social science, health care and engineering.
