The resulting anelastic spectrum contains, besides the well known structural transformation near 110aK, several thermally activated relaxation processes between 200 and 700aK. The two main elastic energy loss peaks are proposed to provide the first measurement of the hopping rate of V.sub.O and (OH).sup.- defects in pure SrTiO.sub.3.
