The accurate crystal structure of BaTi2O5 ferroelectric has been derived at the charge density levels from 100 to 900 K in both the paraelectric and ferroelectric phases. High-energy synchrotron-radiation powder-diffraction data were taken and analyzed by the maximum entropy method (MEM)/Rietveld method. Three independent Ti-O-6 octahedra in the structure of BaTi2O5 are distorted, two of which can be regarded as having five-oxygen coordination in both phases. The structural change associated with the ferroelectric phase transition is characterized by the occurrence of extra distortion in Ti1-O-6, which is the least distorted octahedron above T-C. The spontaneous polarization calculated from the determined crystal structure is P-s = 15 mu C/cm(2) at room temperature. The contribution of the distortion of Ti1-O-6 to Ps is about 80%.
