(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BNT) single crystals were grown by flux method at a high oxygen pressure (Po2) of 1 MPa, and their polarization properties were investigated. BNT single crystals exhibited a saturated polarization hysteresis with a remanent polarizations (Pr) of 31 μC/cm2 along [100]c, 44 μC/cm2 along [110]c and 54 μC/cm2 along [111]c. These results show that spontaneous polarization of BNT is approximately 55 mC/cm2 or larger.

Top-seeded solution growth method under high-oxygen-pressure atmosphere has been developed for obtaining high-performance and large-sized single crystals of ferroelectric (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BNT). Crystals grown at 1000 °C at a Po2 of 0.9 MPa exhibited a well-saturated hysteresis with a remanent polarization of 34 μC/cm2 and a coercive field of 22 kV/cm along <100>cubic. The spontaneous polarization of BNT along <111>cubic is estimated to be 59 μC/cm2 from the measured polarization properties along <100>cubic of the crystals obtained. Domain observations using piezoresponse force microscopy revealed that the degraded performance of BNT crystals grown at a low Po2 is attributed to unswitched 71° domains remaining even after applying a high electric field to the crystals .

High-performance single crystals of ferroelectric Bi4Ti3O12 (BiT) have been successfully obtained via the top-seeded solution growth under high oxygen pressure (Po2) atmosphere. Crystals grown at 960°C at a Po2 of 0.9 MPa exhibited a well-saturated hysteresis loop with a remanent polarization of 48 mC/cm2 and a coercive field of 29 kV/cm. The results of piezoresponse force microscopy indicate that polarization switching is accomplished throughout the BiT crystals obtained. Electric-field-induced strain measurements along the a axis yield a piezoelectric constant d11* of 37 pm/V for BiT.

In this research, 0-3 composites between non-lead based piezoceramic and polymer were fabricated using the suction technique. Bismuth sodium titanate (Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3:BNT) which prepared from conventional mixed oxide method was used as active phase whereas epoxy resin was used as matrix phase. The 50% volumetric fraction of BNT/epoxy resin can obtain from suction technique. The physical and piezoelectric properties of composites samples were examined. It can be found that density of composite samples were about 1.78 g/cm3. Moreover, the piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of sample was 13 pC/N. Furthermore, the microstructure of composites was determined using SEM technique.
