Environment induced steady state quantum coherence (SSQC) is a captivating phenomenon that challenges conventional understandings of decoherence. In this letter, we delve into the foundational aspects of environment-induced SSQC, shedding light on its emergence within the framework of system-bath interactions. Starting from a microscopic system-bath coupled model, we investigate the dependence of SSQC on environmental memory effects, bath temperature, system-bath coupling strength, and squeezing parameters. Our findings reveal that the environment not only acts as a generator but also as a disruptor of SSQC. A peak will exist for a non-Markovian bath, which is a result of competition between these two mechanisms. Interestingly, the peak disappears in Markovian case. Additionally, we observe that the generated SSQC can be further amplified through environment squeezing., Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures
