Abstract

The solid solution of relaxor and lead titanate single crystals have been an excellent choice for electromechanical applications such as energy harvesters, SONARs, transducers, and biomedical equipment. The mechanical quality factor (Qm) plays a crucial role in such applications using high power resonance condition. In this work, 32 mode (011) oriented along thickness direction, Generation-III piezoelectric single crystals based on PMN-PZT [71Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–29PbZrTiO3] have been grown by solid state single crystal growth method. The Mn doping concentration in the crystals were systematically controlled within the range of 0 to 1.0 mol.%. The piezoelectric properties noticeably varied with the Mn doping concentration when the content is over 0.1 mol.%. In order to obtain significant enhancement in Qm in PMN-PZT single crystals, especially, the Mn doping concentration should be higher than 0.7 mol.% (which offers highest figure of merit) for high power resonance applications.
