Journal ArticleDOI

Perovskite (Na0.5K0.5)1−x(LiSb)xNb1−xO3 lead-free piezoceramics

TL;DR: In this paper, the combined effects of lithium and antimony additions resulted in a downward shift in the orthorhombic-tetragonal (TO-T) without significantly reducing TC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced Piezoelectric Property of Barium Titanate Single Crystals with Engineered Domain Configurations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the piezoelectric properties of barium titanate single crystals at room temperature as a function of crystallographic orientation, and showed that electric field exposure below 6 kV/cm resulted in a high d33 of 203 pC/N and a hysteresis-free strain vs electric-field behavior, which suggested the formation of an engineered domain configuration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relaxor based ferroelectric single crystals for electro-mechanical actuators

TL;DR: In this paper, the piezoelectric properties of relaxor based ferroelectric single crystals, such as Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3−PbTiO3 (PZN-PT), were investigated for electromechanical actuators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modified (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 based lead-free piezoelectrics with broad temperature usage range

TL;DR: In this paper, LiSbO3 and CaTiO3-based lead-free materials with orthorhombic to tetragonal polymorphic phase transition (TO-T) were used for actuator and ultrasonic transducer applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transparent ferroelectric crystals with ultrahigh piezoelectricity

TL;DR: This work presents a paradigm for achieving high transparency and piezoelectricity by ferroelectric domain engineering, and is expected to provide a route to a wide range of hybrid device applications, such as medical imaging, self-energy-harvesting touch screens and invisible robotic devices.
