“…Strontium titanate is known to be a highly anisotropic material in terms of deformation characteristics (Gumbsch et al, 2001), interface energy and mobility (Sano et al, 2003;Lee et al, 2003;Kang et al, 2003;Rheinheimer, Ba ¨urer, Chien et al, 2015). Investigations on the grain-growth kinetics of strontium titanate show a very unusual deviation from the expected Arrhenius-type behavior in that there is a dramatic decrease in the grain growth rate by three orders of magnitude when the annealing temperature is increased above a critical temperature (Ba ¨urer, Weygand et al, 2009;Amaral et al, 2013;.…”
