Ferroelectricity was induced in $\mathrm{SrTiO}{}_{3}$ by the isotope exchange of ${}^{18}\mathrm{O}$ for ${}^{16}\mathrm{O}$. Dielectric measurements confirmed ferroelectricity $\mathrm{SrTi}{}^{18}\mathrm{O}{}_{3}$, showing a peak at 23 K. A hysteresis loop $D$ vs $E$ measurement and TO phonon observed Raman spectra supported evolution $\mathrm{SrTi}{}^{18}\mathrm{O}{}_{3}$. This is first demonstration $\mathrm{SrTi}\mathrm{O}{}_{3}$ becoming ferroelectric without application external...

Abstract We report that the orthorhombic–rhombohedral phase transition temperature in sodium potassium niobate could be tuned from lower to higher than room by incorporating barium zirconate into it. It is revealed when between 8 mol% and 15 mol%, solid solution exhibits rhombohedral symmetry at temperature. Rietveld analysis shows space group of R3m. suggested a relatively larger B‐cation favors low‐temperature which common phenomenon for perovskite ferroelectrics. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag...
A polar LiNbO3-type (LN-type) titanate ZnTiO3 has been successfully synthesized using ilmenite-type (IL-type) under high pressure and temperature.
