Metastable ferroelectricity in optically strained $SrTiO_3$

Kavli Affiliate: Ankit Disa | Summary:Fluctuating orders in solids are generally considered high-temperature precursors of broken symmetry phases. However, in some cases these fluctuations persist to zero temperature and prevent the emergence of long-range order, as for example observed in quantum spin and dipolar liquids. $SrTiO_3$ is a quantum paraelectric in which dipolar fluctuations grow […]
