A system of hydrostatic parameters is studied in novel 2–0–2 composites that contain two lead-free piezoelectric single-crystal components. The ferroelectric domain-engineered alkali niobate-tantalate-based single-crystal layer promotes large values of the piezoelectric coefficients [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], hydrostatic squared figure of merit [Formula: see text], and hydrostatic electromechanical coupling factor [Formula: see text] of the composite wherein the 0–3 Li2B4O7 single crystal/polyethylene layers are adjacent to the aforementioned single-crystal layer. Hereby, the role of the elastic anisotropy of the 0–3 layer is emphasized. An orientation effect concerned with rotations of the crystallographic axes of the piezoelectric Li2B4O7 single crystal in the 0–3 layer is first studied. It is shown that the orientation of the crystallographic axis [Formula: see text] of the Li2B4O7 single crystal in the polymer matrix strongly influences the piezoelectric properties and hydrostatic parameters of the composite. Examples of the so-called waterfall-like orientation dependences of the hydrostatic parameters are analyzed. The composite based on the domain-engineered [Lix([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]]([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]O3:Mn single crystal is of interest due to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mV[Formula: see text]m/N, [Formula: see text] Pa[Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]–0.75 in the studied volume-fraction and orientation ranges, and these hydrostatic parameters are to be taken into account in the field of piezotechnical, hydroacoustic, and energy-harvesting applications.

A novel 0.88Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.12PbTiO3 crystal/polymer composite with 2-2 connectivity is studied at variable orientations of spontaneous polarisation vector of the crystal component. Orientation and volume-fraction dependences of the hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficients dh*, eh*, and gh* and hydrostatic electromechanical coupling factor kh* are related to the important role of the piezoelectric and elastic anisotropy of single-domain layers of the 2-2 composite. The record value of |eh∗|≈77 C/m2 near the absolute-minimum point and the correlation between the hydrostatic (eh*) and piezoelectric (e3j*) coefficients and between the hydrostatic (gh*) and piezoelectric (g3j*) coefficients are first established. This discovery is of value for hydrostatic and piezotechnical applications. The hydrostatic performance of the composite based on the single-domain 0.88Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.12PbTiO3 crystal is compared to the performance of the 2–2 composites based on either the same polydomain crystal or the related single-domain crystal.

Giant electromechanical coupling factor of k31 mode over 86% was found for (100) Pb[(Zn1/3Nb2/3)0.91Ti0.09]O3 and (110) Pb[(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.74Ti0.26]O3 single-crystal plates poled in the [100] and [110] directions, respectively. The P-E hysteresis loops in the single-crystal plates with giant k31 became asymmetric. Furthermore, the frequency response of impedance in these plates with giant k31 consisted of a single vibration in the length direction. A mechanism to realize giant k31 can be explained by the relationship between the crystal plane and poling direction. In addition, the existence of giant piezoelectric d31 constant was proven by the strain measurement as well as by the impedance measurement.

The influence of the aspect ratio and volume fraction of ferroelectric ceramic inclusions in a 0–3 matrix on the hydrostatic parameters of a three-component 1–3-type composite is studied to demonstrate the important role of the elastic properties of the two-component matrix on the composite performance. Differences in the elastic properties of the 0–3 matrix and single-crystal rods lead to a considerable dependence of the hydrostatic response of the composite on the anisotropy of the matrix elastic properties. The performance of a 1–0–3 0.92 Pb ( Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3) O 3–0.08 PbTiO 3 SC/modified PbTiO 3 ceramic/polyurethane composite suggests that this composite system is of interest for hydroacoustic applications due to its high hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficients [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], squared figure of merit [Formula: see text], and electromechanical coupling factor [Formula: see text].

(K,Na)NbO3(KNN)-based lead-free piezoelectric ceramic could be fabricated by ordinary solid sintering method.This paper reported preferable properties of solid solutions (1-x)(Na0.535K0.480)NbO3-xLiNbO3(x=0.050,0.055,0.060,0.065 and 0.070 successively) all sintered at 1060°C.The nonconservation of charge suppressed negative effects caused by evaporations of K&Na and doped Li occupied A sites in ABO3perovskite structure lattices led to the intensification of lattice distortion.XRD result showd phase transition from coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal symmetry to tetragonal.Polymorphic phase boundary could be observed when 0.050≤ x≤ 0.060.Coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases brought improvements of piezoelectric coefficient d33and electromechanical coupling factor kp,whose top values were 162 pC/N and 28.1% in this paper. Positive correlation between the Curie temperature and Li content proved that a distorted crystal lattice needed more energy to accomplish its phase transition from tetragonal to cubic than a normal one.

(1-x) (K0.475Na0.475Li0.05)(Nb0.975Sb0.025)O3-xmolBiFeO3 (x=0, 0.002, 0.004, 0.006, 0.008) doped with 0.8mol%CuO lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the solid state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction patterns suggested that all the ceramics presented perovskite structure. The compositional dependence of the phase structure and the electrical properties of the ceramics were studied. The ceramic (x=0.002) near room temperature exhibited excellent electrical properties (piezoelectric constant d33=172pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling factor kp=0.43, and dielectric constant =418). A relatively high mechanical quality factor (Qm=200) was also obtained in this particular composition. All these results revealed that this system might become a promising candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials.

Poling characteristics, especially DC poling field (E) dependence of dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated to evaluate the domain behavior in lead-free ceramics such as alkali niobate and alkali bismuth titanate ceramics. The domain switching was confirmed by the E to realize minimum dielectric constant (εr), minimum electromechanical coupling factor (k) and maximum frequency constant (fc), because of domain clamping. On the other hand, the domain rotation occurred at the E to obtain maximum εr and minimum fc. These phenomena are observed in the lead-free ceramics as well as PZT ceramics.

Lead-free Na0.5K0.5NbO3 (NKN) piezoelectric ceramics was synthesized by an ordinal solid state reaction method. The ceramics was electrically poled under 3 kV/mm at 150 oC for 30 min. The discharge current-flow was measured for the poled ceramics at the heating rate of 1 oC/min from room temperature up to 500 oC. The two sharp peaks were observed at 209 and 417 oC. These temperatures were corresponded to orthorhombic-tetragonal (TO-T) and tetragonal-cubic (TC) phase transition temperatures, respectively. The sharp peaks were mainly originated from the decrease of the spontaneous polarization. Additionally, the several large broad patterns were also observed at 280, 363 and 375 oC, According to the electromechanical coupling factor kp, which is the indicative parameter of the polarization, mainly decreased at TO-T and TC. These broad peaks were not associated with the spontaneous polarization. The peaks seem to have been originated from the discharge current of the oxygen ion migration on elevating temperature inside the poled NKN ceramics.
