The reaction between the oxides of Group II elements and Titanium Dioxide forms a series of titanate phases of general formula MxTiyOx+2y. These compounds are of technical interest because of their ferroelectric properties resulting from the large difference in size between for example the Ba2+ ion (1.43A) and the Ti4+ ion (0.60A). This allows the Ti4+ ion a high degree of mobility in the octahedral lattice. Application of an electric field to the crystal causes polarisation as the titanium Ti4+ ions are drawn over to one side of the octahedron. The tetragonal crystalline form also has a very high dielectric constant which varies with temperature. These phenomena make Titanate compounds especially important for the manufacture of ceramic capacitors in which BaTiO3 is usually the major component.
