Abstract
Single crystals of lead-free piezoelectric material x(Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3–yBaTiO3 (NBBT 100x/100y) have been successfully grown by the flux method and the Bridgman method. Using the flux method, crystals having an edge length of 2–8 mm were obtained using Bi2O3 flux with cooling from 1350°C to 800°C at a rate of 3.5°C/h. Using the Bridgman method, comparatively good crystal of 15 mm diameter and 50 mm length was obtained using Bi2O3 flux with the Pt crucible driven down through the heat zone at a speed of 1.0 mm/h. The resulting crystals showed single-phase perovskite structure. Inductively charged plasma (ICP) chemical analysis revealed that the composition of the pulverized powder of these crystals is NBBT 97/3, which is slightly different from the charged composition of NBBT 94/6. One of the single crystals grown by the Bridgman method showed a dielectric constant of 1230 at room temperature and a dielectric constant peak at 313°C.
