Evidence for an extended critical fluctuation region above the polar ordering transition in LiOsO_{3}

Metallic LiOsO_{3} undergoes a continuous ferroelectric-like structural phase transition below T_{c}=140K to realize a polar metal. To understand the microscopic interactions that drive this transition, we study its critical behavior above T_{c} via electromechanical coupling—distortions of the latt...
