Abstract

Ab initio total energy calculations, combined with the global parametrization method of perovskite structures, are used to investigate the stability of cubic CaSiO3 against octahedral rotations. We propose an equilibrium crystal structure of orthorhombic Pbnm symmetry. The larger compressibility of the SiO6 octahedra relative to the CaO12 polyhedra is reflected in gradual reduction of the orthorhombic distortion with hydrostatic pressure.
