DWs results in anomalous behavior in the material compared to the mono domain state. In relaxorferroelectrics such as Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -PbTiO 3 (PMN-PT) or Pb(In 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 -Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -PbTiO 3 (PIN-PMN-PT), manipulating DWs has been shown to achieve excep tional dielectric and piezoelectric proper ties, lending them as excellent candidates for several electromechanical applica tions including sensors, actuators, energy storage, drug delivery, diagnostic imaging, and nondestructive testing. [4][5][6][7][8][9] Among several DW engineering methods to achieve further enhancement, the use of alternating current poling (ACP) to manipulate domains has received con siderable attention due to its convenience and effectiveness. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Studies have shown that up to 40% enhancement in piezo electric coefficient (d 33 ) and 35% enhance ment in free dielectric constants using ACP compared to conventional direct cur rent poling (DCP) methods. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, even though the DW engineeringbased piezoelectric property enhancement is consistent for ACP, a consensus on how the domain size (or DW density) influences the piezoelectric properties is still not reached. Conventional belief in ferro electrics has been that the property enhancement is due to high domain wall density. [17][18][19] Studies by Chang et al., [11] Xu et al., [16] Zhang et al., [13] and Sun et al. [10] on PMN-PT single crystals (SCs) show that the presence of monoclinic phases and finer domain sizes as a result of ACP are responsible for piezoelectric property enhancement, indicating that the con ventional wisdom still holds for relaxorferroelectrics. However, Acting like thermal resistances, ferroelectric domain walls can be manipulated to realize dynamic modulation of thermal conductivity (k), which is essential for developing novel phononic circuits. Despite the interest, little attention has been paid to achieving room-temperature thermal modulation in bulk materials due to challenges in obtaining a high thermal conductivity switching ratio (k high /k low ), particularly in commercially viable materials. Here, room-temperature thermal modulation in 2.5 mm-thick Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -xPbTiO 3 (PMN-xPT) single crystals is demonstrated. With the use of advanced poling conditions, assisted by the systematic study on composition and orientation dependence of PMN-xPT, a range of thermal conductivity switching ratios with a maximum of ≈1.27 is observed. Simultaneous measurements of piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 ) to characterize the poling state, domain wall density using polarized light microscopy (PLM), and birefringence change using quantitative PLM reveal that compared to the unpoled state, the domain wall density at intermediate poling states (0< d 33

[45][46][47][48] In 2021, Sakano and Sato 60) of Tayca Co. Ltd, Japan, disclosed an impressive patent of ACP PMN-PT SCs (BM, 61) and demonstrated that [001]-oriented ACP (5.8 kV cm −1 , 0.1 Hz, and 20 cycles) Mn-doped PIN-PMN-PT SCs could bring property enhancement to both k 31 (L10 × W3 × T1 mm 3 ) and k 33 (L0.75 × W0.75 × T3 mm 3 ) mode SCs, in which the PFM observation showed "2 R"-like "2 M" domain morphology. 62) The elimination of 71°domain walls of ACP SCs was confirmed by PFM and phase-field simulation, which had a high agreement with the study of Qiu et al 50) Liao et al 63) of Ningbo University, China, reported that ACP PSmN-PMN-PT SCs exhibited a desirable optical transmittance, and the domain density was significantly decreased compared with DCP ones.…”

Compared with conventional DC poling (DCP) treatment, a novel technology, AC poling (ACP) treatment was proved in 2014 as a low-cost, time-saving, and smart-process method to significantly enhance properties of relaxor-PbTiO3 (PT) ferroelectric single crystal (SC) transducers. In total, over 35 papers have been reported since 2018 in which researchers achieved piezoelectric coefficient (d 33) > 4000 pC/N and electromechanical coupling factors (k 33) > 96% for the ACP SCs. In this review, we introduce history of the ACP study on relaxor-PT SCs and our research group's ACP study in the past three years. Particularly, we focus on ACP conditions and their mechanisms of binary (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (PMN-PT) and ternary (1-x-y)Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-yPb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (PIN-PMN-PT) SCs near morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). Furthermore, we provide insights for further studies on optimal ACP conditions and the reduction of spurious-mode vibrations (SMV). This work can offer promising prospect and practical value in the high-end ultrasonic imaging probe transducers

“…2,3) Firstly, this increase was believed to be due to a finer and more uniform domain structure inside the SCs, as well as an appearance of a new monoclinic phase. 4,5) In addition, latest studies have also revealed other possible origins: such as an increase in size for 71-degree domains [6][7][8] or a flattening of the free energy 9) leading to an increase of the piezoelectric charge coefficient d 33 . Nevertheless, the actual mechanisms for the enhanced piezoelectric properties are still a point of discussion to this day.…”

Conventional direct current (DC)-poling and three different types of pulse-poling were performed on MnO-added Na0.55K0.45NbO3 (NKN) ceramics. While NKN with DC-poling at 4.0 kV/mm for a poling time (t p) of 100 sec showed a piezoelectric charge coefficient d 33 of 141.3 pC/N, an almost equivalent d 33 (141.3 pC/N) was recorded by pulse-poling in only 10 sec under a unipolar electric field of 4.0 kV/mm, with either triangular, or rectangular waveform. Especially when applying a triangular waveform, d 33 was enhanced remarkably with increasing the number of pulse cycles. In contrast, NKN ceramics poled by alternating current (AC) electric field showed a d 33 of less than 135 pC/N under any condition. Polarization-electric field (P-E) responses, and domain structure observations via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), showed the different poling behaviors for the various poling techniques. These results suggested that the pulse-poling method under unipolar electric field is an efficient poling procedure for NKN ceramics.
