Abstrakt: In this work, classical atomistic simulation was employed to study the intrinsic disorder influenced by calcium substitution in BaTiO3 structure. The defects were modeled using the Mott–Littleton approximation, in which: a spherical region of the lattice surrounding the defect is treated explicitly, all interactions are considered, and more distant parts of the lattice are treated using a continuum approach. Frenkel, Schottky, pseudo-Schottky and anti-Schottky defects in Ba1−xCaxTiO3 (x  =  0–1) were investigated. It was found that the most probable defects to occur in this system are CaO pseudo-Schottky defect and the incorporation of with compensation by oxygen vacancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
