Abstract

The recent results related to development of the solid state crystal growth process, specially focusing on PMN-PT are presented. The processing parameters such as sintering atmosphere and growth temperature of crystal are discussed. The feasibility of using SSCG for the growth of high T c piezoelectric materials such as BiScO 3-PbTiO 3 will be also presented. The hetero epitaxial nucleation and growth, are examined in 36BiScO 3-64PbTiO 3 ceramics using SrTiO 3 and BaTiO 3 as template materials. The amount of excess PbO is correlated with the growth distance when BaTiO 3 single crystals are used as templates. More than 100 μm of growth was observed at 1150°C after 16 hr heat treatment for this system. When tabular SrTiO 3 particles are used as template materials, elongated grains ∼10 times larger than matrix grains were observed.
