Perovskites like LaAlO3, (or SrTiO3) undergo displacive structural phase transitions from a cubic crystal to a trigonal (or tertagonal) structure. For many years, the critical exponents in both these types of transitions have been fitted to those of the isotropic three-commponents Heisenberg model. Recent field theoretical accurate calculations showed that this is wrong: the isotropic fixed point of the renormalization group (RG) is unstable, and RG iterations flow either to a ‘cubic’ fixed… Expand
