“…For example, the [111] c poled PMN-0.31PT single crystal with Cu electrodes showed a d 15 of 5980 pC/N and k 15 of 97% [187]. Moreover, [011] c poled rhombohedral multidomain single crystals showed large transverse and shear piezoelectric properties (large d 32 , k 32 , d 15 , and k 15 ) [188].…”

In the past decade, domain engineered relaxor-PT ferroelectric single crystals, including (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (PMN-PT), (1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (PZN-PT) and (1-x-y)Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-yPb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (PIN-PMN-PT), with compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) have triggered a revolution in electromechanical devices owing to their giant piezoelectric properties and ultra-high electromechanical coupling factors. Compared to traditional PbZr1-xTixO3 (PZT) ceramics, the piezoelectric coefficient d33 is increased by a factor of 5 and the electromechanical coupling factor k33 is increased from < 70% to > 90%. Many emerging rich physical phenomena, such as charged domain walls, multi-phase coexistence, domain pattern symmetries, etc., have posed challenging fundamental questions for scientists. The superior electromechanical properties of these domain engineered single crystals have prompted the design of a new generation electromechanical devices, including sensors, transducers, actuators and other electromechanical devices, with greatly improved performance. It took less than 7 years from the discovery of larger size PMN-PT single crystals to the commercial production of the high-end ultrasonic imaging probe “PureWave”. The speed of development is unprecedented, and the research collaboration between academia and industrial engineers on this topic is truly intriguing. It is also exciting to see that these relaxor-PT single crystals are being used to replace traditional PZT piezoceramics in many new fields outside of medical imaging. The new ternary PIN-PMN-PT single crystals, particularly the ones with Mn-doping, have laid a solid foundation for innovations in high power acoustic projectors and ultrasonic motors, hinting another revolution in underwater SONARs and miniature actuation devices. This article intends to provide a comprehensive review on the development of relaxor-PT single crystals, spanning material discovery, crystal growth techniques, domain engineering concept, and full-matrix property characterization all the way to device innovations. It outlines a truly encouraging story in materials science in the modern era. All key references are provided and 30 complete sets of material parameters for different types of relaxor-PT single crystals are listed in the Appendix. It is the intension of this review article to serve as a resource for those who are interested in basic research and practical applications of these relaxor-PT single crystals. In addition, possible mechanisms of giant piezoelectric properties in these domain-engineered relaxor-PT systems will be discussed based on contributions from polarization rotation and charged domain walls.

“…However, for piezoelectric materials with 3m symmetry, such as single-domain PMN-PT and lead zinc niobate-lead titanate (PZN-PT), a resonance technique may result in exaggerated values if the shear mode to be measured is coupled with other modes. Peng et al [3] reported a shear electromechanical coupling factor k 15 of around 0.97, but a lower k 24 of 81% for [111]-poled PMN-31%PT. Similarly, using the resonance technique, a very high value of 97% for the effective thickness-shear coupling factor was obtained for PZN-8%PT [4].…”

The shear resonance behavior of rectangularshaped samples of single-domain PZN-PT single crystal samples of 3m symmetry and having three faces parallel to the (111), (112), and (110) crystal planes has been examined. Sample geometries with separable resonance peaks are identified, which give shear properties consistent with 3m symmetry, namely, k15 k24 and d15 d24. Sample geometries with inseparable resonance peaks are also distinguished. The latter sample geometries are not suitable for shear property characterization of piezoelectric single crystals of 3m symmetry as the broad coupled resonance peak often results in inflated k15 and d15 values.

A systematic study of the optimized orientation and temperature dependence of shear-mode piezoelectric properties for ternary Pb͑In 1/2 Nb 1/2 ͒O 3 -Pb͑Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ͒O 3 -PbTiO 3 ͑PIN-PMN-PT or PIMNT͒ piezocrystals was carried out. It was found that ͓111͔-poled samples presented the best shear piezoelectric properties when driving along ͓110͔ ͑the thickness direction͒. The electromechanical coupling coefficient k 15 and piezoelectric coefficient d 15 and g 15 were found to be 96.4%, 5966 pC/N, and 0.047 Vm/N, respectively, for optimum-cut samples with platinum ͑Pt͒ electrode. Besides, the maximum service temperature for shear mode is around 105°C, which is much higher than PMNT single crystals.
