A single crystal of ferroelectric 0.88(Bi,Na)TiO30.12BaTiO3 (BNTBT) solid solution with tetragonal P4mm structure was grown by the top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method at a high oxygen pressure (PO2) of 0.9 MPa. The crystals grown by the high-PO2 TSSG method exhibited a large remanent polarization (Pr) of 54 μC/cm2, which leads to a spontaneous polarization of 54 μC/cm2. The large Pr compared with that of crystals grown at PO2 = 0.1 MPa is suggested to originate from a low oxygen vacancy concentration for the crystals grown at a higher PO2. The high-PO2 TSSG method was demonstrated to be effective for obtaining BNTBT crystals with superior polarization and piezoelectric properties.

Single crystal of ferroelectric (Bi,Na)TiO3BaTiO3(BNTBT) with tetragonalP4mmstructure grown by a top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method at a high oxygen pressure (PO2) of 0.9 MPa and their properties were compared with those of the crystals grown at aPO2of 0.1 MPa. The crystals obtained atPO2= 0.9 MPa exhibited a remanent polarization (Pr) of 54μC/cm2, which was much larger than those of the crystals grown atPO2= 0.1 MPa (20μC/cm2). It is suggested that the largePris attributed to a low oxygen vacancy concentration.

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.
