Abstract
The dielectric constant (K), loss (tanδ), and hence conductivity (σ) of SrTiO3 single crystals have been measured in the frequency region 102–107 Hz and in the temperature range 30°–350° C. Quenching, subjecting the crystals to high electric fields (a.c. or d.c.) and X-ray orγ-ray irradiation, or a combination of these treatments, is found to bring about interesting changes in these properties. An attempt is made to understand the results.
