Picosecond view of microscopic-scale polarization clusters in paraelectric BaTiO$$_{3}$$

Tai, R.; Namikawa, Kazumichi; Sawada, Akikatsu*; Kishimoto, Maki; Tanaka, Momoko; Lu, P.*; Nagashima, Keisuke; Maruyama, Hiroshi*; Ando, Masami*

The polarization clusters existing in both the ferroelectric and the paraelectric phase of BaTiO$$_{3}$$ are directly observed and characterized for the first time by a picosecond soft X-ray laser speckle technique. These dynamic clusters appear continuously across the Curie temperature Tc. The clusters' distance increases approximately linearly with temperature, while their mean size does not change significantly. The polarization exhibits a maximum at a temperature about 5 degree above Tc. The clusters' short-range correlation strength diverges as (T-Tc)$^-$0.41$$pm$$0.02 as temperature decreases toward Tc.
