SrTiO<sub>3</sub> is an excellent substrate for ] of ]s and many oxide-based ]s. It is particularly well known as the substrate for the growth of the ]. Doping strontium titanate with ] makes it electrically conductive, being one of the only conductive commercially available single crystal substrates for the growth of ] oxides. Its bulk lattice parameter of 3.905Å makes it suitable as the substrate for the growth of many other oxides, including the rare-earth manganites, titanates, ] (LaAlO<sub>3</sub>), ] (SrRuO<sub>3</sub>) and many others. Oxygen ] are fairly common in SrTiO<sub>3</sub> crystals and thin films. Oxygen vacancies induce free electrons in the conduction band of the material, making it more conductive and opaque. These vacancies can be caused by exposure to reducing conditions, such as high vacuum at elevated temperatures.

High-quality, epitaxial SrTiO<sub>3</sub> layers can also be grown on ] without forming ], thereby making SrTiO<sub>3</sub> an alternative gate dielectric material.

== Synthesis ==
]

Synthetic strontium titanate was one of several ]s ]ed during the late 1940s and early 1950s; other titanates included ] and ]. Research was conducted primarily at the ] (later renamed ]) in the ], by ] and ]. Merker and Lynd first patented the growth process on February 10, 1953; a number of refinements were subsequently patented over the next four years, such as modifications to the feed powder and additions of colouring dopants.

A modification to the basic ] (also known as flame-fusion) is the favoured method of growth. An inverted oxy-hydrogen ] is used, with feed powder mixed with ] carefully fed through the blowpipe in the typical fashion, but with the addition of a third pipe to deliver oxygen—creating a ''tricone'' burner. The extra oxygen is required for successful formation of strontium titanate, which would otherwise fail to oxidize completely due to the titanium component. The ratio is ca. 1.5 volumes of ] for each volume of oxygen. The highly purified feed powder is derived by first producing titanyl double oxalate ] (SrTiO(]<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>{{hydrate|2}}) by reacting ] (Sr]<sub>2</sub>) and ] ((COO])<sub>2</sub>{{hydrate|2|nolink=yes}}) with ] (TiCl<sub>4</sub>). The salt is washed to eliminate ], heated to 1000&nbsp;°C in order to produce a free-flowing granular
powder of the required composition, and is then ground and sieved to ensure all particles are between 0.2 and 0.5 ]s in size.<ref name=growth/>

The feed powder falls through the ], melts, and lands on a rotating and slowly descending pedestal below. The height of the pedestal is constantly adjusted to keep its top at the optimal position below the flame, and over a number of hours the molten powder cools and crystallises to form a single pedunculated pear or '']'' crystal. This boule is usually no larger than 2.5 centimetres in diameter and 10 centimetres long; it is an opaque black to begin with, requiring further ] in an oxidizing atmosphere in order to make the crystal colourless and to relieve ]. This is done at over 1000&nbsp;°C for 12 hours.<ref name=growth>{{cite book| page = | title= Crystal growth technology: from fundamentals and simulation to large-scale production| url = https://archive.org/details/crystalgrowthtec00sche_031| url-access = limited|author1=H. J. Scheel |author2=P. Capper | publisher= Wiley-VCH| year = 2008
| isbn =978-3-527-31762-2}}</ref>

Thin films of SrTiO<sub>3</sub> can be grown epitaxially by various methods, including ], ], ] and ]. As in most thin films, different growth methods can result in significantly different defect and impurity densities and crystalline quality, resulting in a large variation of the electronic and optical properties.

== Use as a diamond simulant ==
Its cubic structure and high dispersion once made synthetic strontium titanate a prime candidate for ]. Beginning {{Circa|1955}}, large quantities of strontium titanate were manufactured for this sole purpose. Strontium titanate was in competition with synthetic ] ("titania") at the time, and had the advantage of lacking the unfortunate yellow tinge and strong ] inherent to the latter material. While it was softer, it was significantly closer to diamond in likeness. Eventually, however, both would fall into disuse, being eclipsed by the creation of "better" simulants: first by ] (YAG) and followed shortly after by ] (GGG); and finally by the (to date) ultimate simulant in terms of diamond-likeness and cost-effectiveness, ].<ref>{{cite book| title = Jewelrymaking through history: an encyclopedia |author = R. W. Hesse| publisher = Greenwood Publishing Group| year = 2007| isbn = 978-0-313-33507-5| page = 73}}</ref>

Despite being outmoded, strontium titanate is still manufactured and periodically encountered in jewellery. It is one of the most costly of diamond simulants, and due to its rarity collectors may pay a premium for large i.e. >2 ] (400&nbsp;mg) specimens. As a diamond simulant, strontium titanate is most deceptive when mingled with melée i.e. <0.20 carat (40&nbsp;mg) stones and when it is used as the base material for a composite or ''doublet'' stone (with, e.g., synthetic ] as the crown or top of the stone). Under the ], ]s distinguish strontium titanate from diamond by the former's softness—manifested by surface abrasions—and excess dispersion (to the trained eye), and occasional gas bubbles which are remnants of synthesis. Doublets can be detected by a join line at the girdle ("waist" of the stone) and flattened air bubbles or glue visible within the stone at the point of bonding.<ref>{{cite book| author = Nassau, K. | year =1980 | title = Gems made by man |pages= 214–221| publisher = Gemological Institute of America|location = Santa Monica, California| isbn = 0-87311-016-1}}</ref><ref>{{cite book| author = O'Donoghue, M. | year =2002| title = Synthetic, imitation & treated gemstones |pages= 34, 65| publisher = Elsevier Butterworth-Heinemann|location = Great Britain| isbn = 0-7506-3173-2}}</ref><ref>{{cite book| author = Read, P.

Terrestrial ] applications of RTGs meanwhile have been largely phased out due to concern over ]s and the decreasing price and increasing availability of solar panels, small wind turbines, chemical battery storage and other off-grid power solutions.

==Use in solid oxide fuel cells==
Strontium titanate's mixed conductivity has attracted attention for use in ]s (SOFCs). It demonstrates both electronic and ionic conductivity which is useful for SOFC electrodes because there is an exchange of gas and oxygen ions in the material and electrons on both sides of the cell.

: <chem> H2 + O^2- -> H2O + 2e- </chem> (anode)
: <chem> 1/2O2 + 2e- -> O^2- </chem> (cathode)

Strontium titanate is doped with different materials for use on different sides of a fuel cell. On the fuel side (anode), where the first reaction occurs, it is often doped with lanthanum to form lanthanum-doped strontium titanate (LST). In this case, the A-site, or position in the unit cell where strontium usually sits, is sometimes filled by lanthanum instead, this causes the material to exhibit n-type semiconductor properties, including electronic conductivity. It also shows oxygen ion conduction due to the ] structure tolerance for oxygen vacancies. This material has a ] similar to that of the common electrolyte ] (YSZ), chemical stability during the reactions which occur at fuel cell electrodes, and electronic conductivity of up to 360 S/cm under SOFC operating conditions.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Marina |first1=O |title=Thermal, electrical, and electrocatalytical properties of lanthanum-doped strontium titanate |journal=Solid State Ionics |date=2002 |volume=149 |issue=1–2 |pages=21–28 |doi=10.1016/S0167-2738(02)00140-6 }}</ref> Another key advantage of these LST is that it shows a resistance to sulfur poisoning, which is an issue with the currently used nickel - ceramic (]) anodes.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Gong |first1=Mingyang |last2=Liu |first2=Xingbo |last3=Trembly |first3=Jason |last4=Johnson |first4=Christopher |title=Sulfur-tolerant anode materials for solid oxide fuel cell application |journal=Journal of Power Sources |date=2007 |volume=168 |issue=2 |pages=289–298 |doi=10.1016/j.jpowsour.2007.03.026 |bibcode=2007JPS...168..289G }}</ref>
