Abstract

The large E- field induced strains and electromechanical coupling in PMN-based relaxors have been utilized in actuator and transducer applications. The effect of La3+ modifications on the field-dependent dielectric and piezoelectric properties was investigated for several (1-x)PMN-(x)PT compositions with transition regions near room temperature. The effect of La3+ modifications, increasing the width of the micro-macro polar transition range (ΔT), defined as the difference between the temperature of maximum permittivity (Tmax) and the depolarization temperature(Td), results in a broader temperature range for obtaining large induced electromechanical coupling factors with negligible hysteresis.
