Phase transitions, anisotropy and domain engineering

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 ...

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

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Matthew Davis, Marko Budimir

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 ...

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

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, 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 ...

One-to-one coupling of glacial climate variability in Greenland and Antarctica

Jérôme Chappellaz, Matthew Davis

The recent completion of drilling at Vostok station in East Antarctica has allowed the extension of the ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles. The succession of changes through each climate cycle and ...

Correlation between dielectric anisotropy and positive or zero transverse piezoelectric coefficients in perovskite ferroelectric single crystals

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Matthew Davis

The transverse piezoelectric coefficient (d(31)(star)) has been calculated for tetragonal barium titanate (BT) and lead titanate (PT) cut along nonpolar axes, over a range of temperatures, using the phenomenological Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory. It is ...

Piezoelectric properties of Li- and Ta-modified (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 ceramics

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Matthew Davis, Evelyn Hollenstein

Lead-free, potassium sodium niobate piezoelectric ceramics substituted with lithium (K0.5-x/2,Na0.5-x/2,Li-x)NbO3 or lithium and tantalum (K0.5-x/2,Na0.5-x/2,Li-x)(Nb1-y,Ta-y)O-3 have been synthesized by traditional solid state sintering. The compositions ...
