Abstract

Single crystals of tungsten doped lead zinc niobate-lead titanate (W:PZN-PT) were grown by high temperature solution growth technique and their properties were investigated. Formation of perovskite phases were confirmed from X-Ray diffraction analysis. Temperature dependent dielectric properties demonstrated an increase in the value of dielectric constant (e’) and a decrease in Curie temperature TC compared to undoped PZN:PT. Enhanced ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties were observed, thus promising them as excellent materials to be used as soft ferroelectrics.
