Abstract
This review assesses the occurrence of slow collective dynamics above TC in structural phase transitions, distinct from normal-, under-, or over-damped soft modes. This is done mainly from an experimental point of view but proper reference to important theoretical progress is given. After a reference to important theoretical progress is given. After a reminiscence of the first observation of a central peak (c.p.) in SrTiO3 and its possible origin, computer simulations and strongly anharmonic (soliton)-type theories related to this phenomenon will be discussed. Then, the results of theories in which slowly-relaxing defects are coupled to the order parameter are given. A comparison with existing experiments above TC indicates that the width of c.p's have extrinsic origins, i.e., are impurity dominated. In contrast, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements of the distribution of the order parameter in SrTiO3 prove the existence of short-range order clusters in this displacive system at TC. This short-range order accounts quantitatively for the non-vanishing c.p's in hydrogen-bounded ferro-electrics are put into perspective regarding their critical dimensionaly. Examples of magnetic centers which relax slowly in these ferroelectrics, are discussed.
