The plasticity of single-crystalline strontium titanate below ambient temperature was studied by means of compression tests using samples with compression axis parallel to (001). Deformability was observed down to 43 K. The critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) derived from the stress-strain c-irves increases in a non-monotonic manner with decreasing temperature. This increase is characterized by three regimes with different temperature dependences of the CRSS and shows a remarkable step at about 210 K. Polarized light microscopy applied to transparmt specimens revealed that (110){110} slip systems are dominant throughout the whole temperature regime. The regime behaviour is studied using stress relaxation experiments which provide promising evidence for a straightforward interpretation of the phenomera on the basis that different dislocation cores and dislocation motion modes may be responsible for the three-regime behaviour.
