AbstractAfter field cooling (FC) alternating current poling (ACP), we investigated the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of [001]pc-oriented 0.24Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3 (PIN)-0.46Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN)-0.30PbTiO3 (PT) (PIMN-0.30PT) single crystals (SCs), which were manufactured by continuous-feeding Bridgman (CF BM) within morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region. By ACP with 4 kVrms/cm from 100 to 70 °C, the PIMN-0.30PT SC attained high dielectric permittivity (ε33T/ε0) of 8330, piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of 2750 pC/N, bar mode electromechanical coupling factor k33 of 0.96 with higher phase change temperature (Tpc) of 103 °C, and high Curie temperature (TC) of 180 °C. These values are the highest ever reported as PIMN-xPT SC system with Tpc > 100 °C. The enhancement of these properties is attributed to the induced low symmetry multi-phase supported by phase analysis. This work indicates that FC ACP is a smart and promising method to enhance piezoelectric properties of relaxor-PT ferroelectric SCs including PIMN-xPT, and provides a route to a wide range of piezoelectric device applications.

Abstract We investigated the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of [001]-oriented 0.24Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-0.46Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.30PbTiO3 (PIMN-0.30PT) single crystals (SCs) manufactured by continuous-feeding Bridgman (CF BM) within morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region after field cooling alternating current poling (FC ACP). By optimized the FC ACP conditions of 4 kVrms/cm from 100 to 70 oC, the PIMN-0.30PT SC process attained ultrahigh dielectric permittivity (εT 33/ε0) of 8330 and piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of 2750 pC/N, and bar mode electromechanical coupling factor k33 of 0.96 with higher phase change temperature (Tpc) of 103 oC, respectively. These values are the highest ever reported as PIMN-xPT system SCs with Tpc > 100 oC. The enhancement of these properties of the PIMN-0.30PT SC is attributed to the induced low symmetry multi-phase supported by phase analysis. This work indicates that FC ACP is a smart and promising method to enhance piezoelectric properties of relaxor-PT ferroelectric SCs including PIMNT, which provide a route to a wide range of piezoelectric device applications.

Piezoelectric properties are of significant importance to medical ultrasound, actuators, sensor, and countless other device applications. The mechanism of piezoelectric properties can be deeply understood from structure evolutions. In this paper, we report a diagram of structure evolutions of the Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)0.91Ti0.09O3 (PZN-9PT) single crystal with excellent piezoelectric properties among the orthorhombic, tetragonal, and cubic phases with temperature increasing from room temperature to 220 C. Through fitting the temperature dependence XRD curves with Gauss and Lorenz functions, we obtained the evolutions of the content ratio of three kinds of phases (orthorhombic, tetragonal and cubic) and the lattice parameters of the PZN-9PT system with the changes of temperature. The XRD fitting results together with Raman and dielectric spectrums show that the phase transitions of PZN-9PT are a typical continuous evolution process, very similar to the phase transition of paraffin from solid to liquid. Additionally, resonance and anti-resonance spectrum show excellent piezoelectric properties of the crystals, which probably originate from the nano twin domains, as demonstrated by the TEM images. Of particular attention is that the thickness electromechanical coupling factor kt is up to 72%.

Li2O excess 0.95(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-0.05LiTaO3 (NKN-5LT) ceramics were developed by conventional sintering method. Abnormal grain growth in NKN-5LT ceramics was observed with varying Li2O content during sintering. In the 1 mol% Li2O excess NKN-5LT samples sintered at 1000 oC for 4h in air, electromechanical coupling factor and piezoelectric constant of NKN-5LT ceramics were found to reach the highest values of 0.37 and 250 pC/N, respectively. Lead-free piezoelectric of the composition 1 mol% Li2O excess NKN-5LT were fabricated. 10×10×3 mm3 size multilayer ceramic actuators (MLCA) were fabricated by conventional tape casting method. The displacement of the MLCA was ~ 1 μm at 150 V. These results show that the NKN-5LT ceramics with reasonable good piezoelectric properties have the potential to become the next generation material for a wide range of electro-mechanical transducer applications.

Doping a small quantity of additive Bi2O3 is effective in suppressing the deliquescence of KNbO3 ceramics. When an optimized ball-milling process was included, dense and nondeliquescent KNbO3 ceramics were obtained by a conventional firing process. However, the presence of Bi prevented grain growth (<0.2 μm) and it was one of the causes of low ferroelectricity. Moreover, the insufficient resistivity made the poling treatment difficult. In order to improve the electric properties, a small quantity of additive MnCO3 was also doped into KNbO3 with 0.5 mass% Bi2O3. Codoping of KNbO3 with MnCO3 and Bi2O3 (abbreviated to KNBixMny; x = 0~1.0, y = 0~1.0 in mass%) improved the ferroelectricity of samples, and it also had an effect on the resistivity and densification of sintered bodies. Well-saturated P-E hysteresis loops were observed with any amount of Mn and the largest remanent polarization Pr was about 16 μC/cm2. The piezoelectric properties of KNBi0.5Mn0.3, which had the highest piezoelectricity in this study, are an electromechanical coupling factor k33 and piezoelectric constant d33 of 0.30 and 101 pC/N, respectively.

(Na0.5Bi0.5)0.94Ba0.06TiO3 (NBBT) ceramics doped with 0.1∼2.0 mol.% Ba (Zr0.05Ti0.95)O3 were investigated in terms of the sintering, microstructure, phase transition, and piezoelectric properties. BZT doping has no remarkable effect on the microstructure and densification within the studied doping content. Up to 2 mol.% BZT can dissolve into the lattice of NBBT ceramics, and the structure symmetry is not changed. However, a significant change in the piezoelectric properties took place. The piezoelectric coefficient d33 for the 0.1 wt.% BZT-doped NBBT ceramics sintered at 1150 °C was found to be 120 pC/N and the electromechanical coupling factor kp = 0.24.

(Na,Bi)TiO3-BaTiO3lead free piezoelectric ceramics were fabricated with modification of CaCu3Ti4O12additives. The phase structure, morphology, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of prepared samples were investigated, respectively. It was found that CaCu3Ti4O12additives evidently improve the polarization properties of (Na,Bi)TiO3-BaTiO3lead free ceramics and the obtained samples exhibit an excellent piezoelectric properties (electromechanical coupling factorKp=31%, mechanical quality factorQm=151 and piezoelectric constantd33=160pC/N). According to results, the effect of CaCu3Ti4O12additives on electrical properties of (Na,Bi)TiO3-BaTiO3lead free piezoelectric ceramics is discussed.
