The unit cell of lanthanum chromate was constructed by calculating equivalent points. By means of calculation of the hole octahedrally surrounded by O2- ions, it was considered that the sintered property of lanthanum chromate and the stability of Cr-O octahedron might be promoted by mixing a little Ca2+ ions. The growth mechanism was discussed in terms of structural ledge observed by SEM, the surfaces of the structural ledges parallel to (001), (010) and (110) planes, respectively. The misfit between (110) and (001) planes is only 0.0021 on common atomic plane, and the interconnection of the structured ledge may occur during crystal growth.
