Anelastic anomalies (sharp variations in modulus and damping with temperature) were observed in tetragonal via broadband viscoelastic spectroscopy after aging at for 15 h. The effect was most pronounced under electrical short circuit condition, at low frequency and under small excitation strain . Softening in bulk modulus and negative Poisson’s ratio were observed near . Effects are attributed to an oxygen vacancy mechanism. A relaxational model cannot account for sharp response at smaller strains. Heterogeneity of negative stiffness is considered as a cause.

Several hours’ aging above the Curie point is not necessarily to achieve full rejuvenation (full rejuvenation means defect polarization completely disappears which requires fairly long aging above the Curie point), yet is sufficient to eliminate the anelastic anomalies, and this could be attributed to a low enough volume fraction of the regions containing defect dipoles. Accumulative effect of partial rejuvenation is responsible for the weakening of anelastic anomalies observed in the aged specimen after extensive thermal cycling through the Curie point.
