Dielectric to pyroelectric phase transition induced by defect migration
Subjecting strontium titanate single crystals to an electric field in the order of 10 ^6 V m ^−1 is accompanied by a distortion of the cubic crystal structure, so that inversion symmetry vanishes and a polar phase is established. Since the polar nature of the migration-induced field-stabilized polar...
