Polar nanoregions and reentrant-like ferroelectric behavior in SrTiO$_3$

Recent real-space imaging in quantum paraelectric SrTiO$_3$ [Nature 656, 54 (2026)] reveals that local polar textures do not continuously grow upon cooling, but reach a maximum intensity at intermediate temperatures around 60-65~K and we…

Recent real-space imaging in quantum paraelectric SrTiO$_3$ [Nature 656, 54 (2026)] reveals that local polar textures do not continuously grow upon cooling, but reach a maximum intensity at intermediate temperatures around 60-65~K and weaken again toward the quantum paraelectric…
