Abstrakt: Calcium Titanate (CaTiO3) perovskites were synthesized by the modified combustion method. This synthesis method is self-sustained due to its exothermic and auto-catalytic features which means once initiated it will ultimately convert precursor into product with high purity, minimized segregation, and sound monitoring of the resulting perovskite composition. The structural information of the prepared sample was obtained by X-ray diffraction Rietveld refinement and the W-H plot was used to determine the microstrain and the average size of the particle. The output file generated after refinement was used to develop the crystal structure. Diffuse reflectance UV-Visible spectral studies gave the optical band gap as 3.65 eV, which implies that the sample falls under the category of wide band gap semiconductors [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
