Abstract
Crystallographic engineering, a concept to utilize crystal anisotropy as well as an engineered domain configuration, resulted in significant enhancement in piezoelectric activity for normal ferroelectric BaTiO3 crystals. Electromechanical couplings (k33) to approximately 85% and piezoelectric coefficients (d33) as high as 500 pC/N, higher or comparable to those of lead based ceramics such as PZT and significantly larger than those of tetragonal BaTiO3 crystals (k33 to approximately 65%, d33 to approximately 130 pC/N), were detected from crystallographically engineered orthorhombic BaTiO3 crystals. Orthorhombic BaTiO3 phase could be stabilized by Zr-doping at room temperature and enhanced electromechanical coupling (k33) to approximately 75% was detected also by using crystallographic engineering. Macroscopic symmetry (4 mm) was suggested for 〈001〉 poled rhombohedral (3 m) and orthorhombic (2 mm) crystals, based on the engineered domain configuration.
