In this paper, Doped alkaline-bismuth-titanate perovskite single crystals have been grown in ferroelectric phases with high piezoelectric actuation.
Abstract
Doped alkaline–bismuth–titanate perovskite single crystals have been grown in ferroelectric phases with high piezoelectric actuation. Rhombohedral-phase Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3–BaTiO3 crystals exhibit up to 0.25% free strain with low hysteresis along the cubic 〈001〉 direction (d33∼450 pC/N). Tetragonal phase crystals exhibit free strains as high as 0.85% with greater hysteresis characteristic of domain switching; low field d33 exceeds 500 pC/N. Strain energy densities exceed those of optimized polycrystalline lead perovskites, and actuation capability is retained at compressive stresses >100 MPa.
