Abstract:
A birefringence-imaging study of a crystal of SrTiO3 shows a purely second-order phase transition close to 105 K with no measurable indications of critical fluctuations. The near perfectly linear development of the birefringence near the &mbar {3}mF4/mmm ; phase transition is consistent with normal Landau mean-field behaviour with an order-parameter critical exponent close to 0.5.Document Type: Research article
