Abstract
This paper explores the templated grain growth and texturing of Pb(Yb1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PYN-PMN-PT) ceramics. A PbO-CuO liquid phase was determined to substantially increase the growth of PYN-PMN-PT on barium titanate template particles. Texturing resulted in an 83% enhancement in strain behavior (754 pm/V) compared with random PYN-PMN-PT ceramics (413 pm/V). The increased Pb(Yb1/2Nb1/2)O3 (PYN) content of textured 21PYN-41PMN-38PT resulted in a high coercive field of 13.9 kV/cm. Residual barium titanate templates reduced the polarization from 33.7 to 26.2 µC/cm2 and slightly decreased the Curie temperature (236-224°C). These results show that textured PYN-PMN-PT is a promising material for high strain and coercive field transducers.
