In order to study the crystal structure of β‐Ca2SiO4, time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction experiments were carried out at temperatures between room temperature (RT) and 600°C. Rietveld refinement at RT has shown that β‐Ca2SiO4is monoclinic based on P21/n symmetry and two different types of Ca sites, Ca(1) and Ca(2). All interatomic distances within 3Å were calculated, with the valences of Ca(1) with seven CaO bonds and Ca(2) with eight were estimated to be 1.87+ and 2+ by the Zachariasen–Brown–Altermatt formula (bond valence sum). Applying charge neutrality the two charge states of Ca in β‐Ca2SiO4are [Ca(1)SiO4]2−and Ca(2)2+, respectively. Furthermore, the [Ca(1)SiO4]2−unit has the shortest Ca–O distance, and its length kept constant at 2.23Å at all temperatures. In the short-range structure analysis at RT, the shortest Ca–O bond was also observed in a radial distribution function. These results imply that the [Ca(1)SiO4]2−unit has covalency on the shortest Ca–O in addition to Si–O.
