The effect of Sr/Ti nonstoichiometry on the ferroelectricity and magnetism in polycrystalline SrTiO3 is investigated by the dielectric, ferroelectric, Raman, and magnetic characterizations. It revealed that the nonstoichiometric SrTiO3 exhibits both ferroelectric polarization and superparamagnetism, which increase with the degree of nonstoichiometry. It is argued that the antisite-like defects with net local dipoles and magnetic moments contribute to the ferroelectricity and superparamagnetism, confirmed by the first-principles calculations.
