Abstract: | Motivated by recent experiments demonstrating suppression of
ferroelectricity with pressure in SrTi18O3, the dynamics of the
phase transition mechanism are reinvestigated within a nonlinear
polarizability model. For temperatures far above the phase transition polar
micro domains are formed which increase in size with decreasing temperature
to freeze out at Tc without forming long range order. Experimentally,
soft mode dynamics are simultaneously observed, evidencing that displacive
and order/disorder features coexist. In the ferroelectric phase both
components persist whereby an incomplete and inhomogeneous ferroelectric
state is formed. |
