Abstract

IR spectra of a natural CaTiO3 perovskite single-crystal showed 2 absorption bands at 3394 and 3326 cm-1 which are attributed to structural OH defects. The 2 bands are weakly pleochroic in a (001) section, but show a more distinct anisotropic behavior in (110) with a stronger component of absorption perpendicular to [001]. A plausible model for the mode of OH incorporation on a preferred at. position is derivable under the assumption of vacancies in the Ca lattice. An OH dipole direction roughly pointing along [110] with O2 oxygens acting as donor oxygens is consistent with the measured pleochroic scheme of the bands.
