The unit cell structure of a mineral perovskite crystallizes in cubic unit cell wherein calcium (filled circles) and oxide (hollow circles) constitute a cubic close packing (ccp) arrangement and titanium ion (hollow square) occupies an interstitial hole as shown below. (Charges are omitted for simplicity). The empirical formula of this compound is The unit cell structure of a mineral perovskite crystallizes in cubic unit cell wherein calcium (filled circles) and
