Quantum paraelectricity refers to a phenomenon observed in certain materials that exhibit paraelectric behavior at finite temperatures, influenced by quantum mechanical effects. In general, paraelectric materials are those that do not have a permanent electric dipole moment and only exhibit polarization in the presence of an external electric field. When the field is removed, the polarization disappears. Quantum paraelectricity specifically arises in materials near a phase transition to a ferroelectric phase.
