“…According to the XRD phase analyzed and the charge balance rule, the Mn 2+ ions occupied in the Cd 2+ sites of the CdSiO 3 host and not any Mn 2+ ion is expected to occupy the Si 4+ sites. It can be referred that the phase structure of CdSiO 3 is similar to that of the CaSiO 3 , which has been reported early in 1950s [16], because the configuration of both Ca and Cd have the very similar outermost shells, 4s 2 for calcium and 4d 10 5s 2 for cadmium. And their ionic radii are very close in size, 0.099 and 0.097 nm for calcium and cadmium, respectively.…”
