摘要
Lead-free (K0.25Na0.75)NbO3 (KNN25/75) single crystals with dimensions of empty set30 x 10 mm were successfully grown by a top seeded solution growth technique (TSSG). The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the as-grown crystals possess an orthorhombic perovskite structure. The concentrations of K, Na, and Nb elements in the as-grown crystal were measured by X-ray fluorescence analysis. The dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of KNN25/75 crystals with different orientations, i.e., pseudocubic (100) and (110) ((100)(pc) and (110)(pc)), were investigated. A higher piezoelectric constant d(33) similar to 145 pC N-1 and electromechanical coupling coefficient k(t) similar to 69% were observed along the (100)(pc) orientation compared with d(33) similar to 70 pC N-1 and k(t) similar to 51% along (110)(pc). However, when a bipolar electric field was applied, a two times higher strain value can be achieved in crystals oriented along (110)(pc) than along (100)(pc). These orientation dependent physical properties can be explained in the framework of domain engineering and the switching effect.
