Elastic precursor effects during Ba_{1−x}Sr_{x}TiO_{3} ferroelastic phase transitions

Elastic softening in the paraelastic phases of Ba_{1−x}Sr_{x}TiO_{3} is largest near the transition temperatures and decreases on heating smoothly over extended temperature ranges. Softening extends to the highest measured temperature (850 K) for Ba-rich compounds. The temperature evolution of the e...
