Abstract
AbstractThe orientation dependence of the electric field induced strain and phase transitions in 0.92(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3–0.06BaTiO3–0.02(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (NBT–6BT–2KNN) single crystals has been investigated. The evolution of Raman spectra with electric field reveals that a tetragonal ferroelectric phase is initially induced at E = 14 kV/cm and completed above E = 25 kV/cm for [001] oriented single crystals. When the electric field is applied along [111] direction, a partial phase transition from pseudocubic to rhombohedral structure is triggered at E = 19 kV/cm, which is higher than that for inducing tetragonal ferroelectric phase along [001] direction. Both field‐induced phase structures and stability of NBT–6BT–2KNN single crystal are strongly associated with the crystallographic orientations. These results provide a better understanding to the field‐induced macroscopic strain in lead‐free NBT‐based ferroelectrics.
