Electric-field-, temperature-, and stress-induced phase transitions in relaxor ferroelectric single crystals

Dragan Damjanovic, Nava Setter, Matthew Davis

Electric-field-induced phase transitions have been evidenced by macroscopic strain measurements at temperatures between 25 degrees C and 100 degrees C in 001-poled (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-xPbTiO(3) [(PMN-xPT);x=0.25,0.305,0.31] and (1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O ...

Piezoelectric anisotropy: Enhanced piezoelectric response along nonpolar directions in perovskite crystals

Dragan Damjanovic, Nava Setter, Marko Budimir, Matthew Davis

This paper discusses the mechanisms that can contribute to the enhanced longitudinal piezoelectric effect along nonpolar directions in perovskite crystals, such as BaTiO3, PbTiO3, KNbO3, Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-PbTiO3 and Pb(Zn1/2Nb2/3)O-3-PbTiO3. Piezoelectric ...

Phase transitions, anisotropy and domain engineering : the piezoelectric properties of relaxor-ferroelectric single crystals

Matthew Davis

Relaxor-ferroelectric single crystals PZN-xPT [(1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3] and PMN-xPT [(1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3] continue to attract much interest due to their anomalously large piezoelectric properties (d33 > 2000 pm/V; k33 > 90%) when poled ("do ...

Electric-field-induced orthorhombic to rhombohedral phase transition in [111](C)-oriented 0.92Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O-3-0.08PbTiO(3)

Dragan Damjanovic, Nava Setter, Matthew Davis

Strain-field measurements and in situ polarized light microscopy have been used to evidence a hysteretic, irreversible electric-field-induced transition to a quasimonodomain rhombohedral phase in 111-oriented, pseudo-orthorhombic PZN-8PT [0.92Pb(Zn1/3 ...
