Abstract

The electromechanical properties of rhombohedral single crystals Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)-Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)-PbTiO3 (PMN-PIN-PT) were investigated under hydrostatic pressure from 0.1 to 456 MPa. Due to pressure-induced morphotropic phase boundary moving, the piezoelectric coefficients and electromechanical coupling factors of PMN-PIN-PT crystals were found to decrease by ∼10% and ∼2%, respectively. The mechanical quality factor Q was found to dramatically decrease, because the domain wall motion and friction between vibrator and pressure-transmitting fluid were enhanced under hydrostatic pressure. On the other hand, the pressure induced depolarization and phase transition were not observed in the experimental pressure range.
