Abstract:

(1-x)(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-xBaTiO3 (abbreviated as NBBT100(1-x)/100x or NBBT100x) solid solution single crystals with x=0, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.20, 1.0 were grown using top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method. Dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of NBBT crystals were investigated as a function of temperature, frequency, composition and crystal orientation. The temperature (Tm) corresponding to dielectric maximum and the depolarization temperature (Td) decrease with increasing x. The <001> oriented NBBT90/10 single crystal shows excellent piezoelectric performance with piezoelectric constant (d33) value about 275pC/N and exhibits relatively smaller coercive field (Ec) of 2.49 kV/mm and dielectric loss tanδ of 2.9 %, indicating a more adaptive engineered domain structure.
