Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance of Fe3+ gives evidence for a phase-transition-like feature in SrTiO3 belowT q =37±1 K, both in the tetragonal and the pressure-induced trigonal phase. In the latter,T q shifts to lower temperatures as a function of uniaxial stressp 111. The new phenomenon is very tentatively discussed in terms of a possible transition to a novel coherent quantum state.
