The classical-to-quantum crossover in the strain-induced ferroelectric transition in SrTiO3 membranes

Abstract Mechanical strain presents an effective control over symmetry-breaking phase transitions. In quantum paraelectric SrTiO3, strain can induce ferroelectric order via modification of the local Ti potential energy landscape. However, brittle bulk materials can only withstand limited strain rang...
