Popis: X-ray diffraction measurements showed that in the surface layer of perovskite structure BaTiO3, SrTiO3, PbTiO3 and KNbO3 crystals at elevated temperatures (500–1000°C) reactions take place in the solid phase, associated with segregation in the direction to the surface of AO complexes, leading to the formation of a whole homologue series of crystalline compounds with the general formula AO · (ABO3) n ,n = l, 2,....., 10, ∞ Lowered oxygen partial pressure may inhibit the segregation processes and in the range of temperatures for which vaporisation of the AO complexes from the surface does not yet take place a suitable choice of oxygen pressure may lead to resynthesis of the compound.
