The Goldschmidt tolerance factor, often denoted as \\( t \\), is a measure used in mineralogy and materials science to predict the stability of mixed oxide phases, particularly in perovskite structures. It was introduced by the mineralogist Victor Moritz Goldschmidt in the early 20th century. The tolerance factor is defined using the ionic radii of the involved cations and anions in the crystal structure.
