This experiment allows students to understand the key concepts in the solid state chemistry of a lattice parameter, a cubic Bravais network, a perovskite type structure, substitutional solid solutions, Vegard′s law and its deviations, Miller indices, and X-ray diffraction principles. In addition, it gives students the opportunity to acquire technical skills in ceramic synthesis and X-ray diffraction pattern interpretation UR - https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jchemed.2c00923 ER -
