ferroelectric⇔paraelectric
Experimentally observed temperaturedependence of lattice constants
for BaTiO3. There are three first-order phase transitions. the cubic to
tetragonal phase transition is nearly second-order one. After [H. E. Kay
and P. Vousden: Philos. Mag. 40, 1019 (1949)].

interactions, the
minimum is at
M-point (antiferro).
Adding short-rang
interactions, the
minimum
goes to
Γ-point.
