摘要
The structural instability of SrTiO3 at T-S = 105 K is reinvestigated experimentally and theoretically by birefringence measurements and within the self-consistent phonon approximation. Analogous to BaTiO3 the phase transition shows precursor dynamics starting approximately 60 K above the phase transition temperature. These rotational dynamic clusters compete with precursor effects stemming from the polar soft mode and appear on different length scales as compared to BaTiO3.
