Title: The Contributions of Polar Nanoregions to the Dielectric and Piezoelectric Responses in Domain-Engineered Relaxor-PbTiO₃ Crystals

Abstract

The existence of polar nanoregions is the most important characteristic of relaxor-based ferroelectric materials. Recently, the contributions of polar nanoregions to the shear piezoelectric property of relaxor-PbTiO₃ (PT) crystals are confirmed in a single domain state, accounting for 50%–80% of room temperature values. For electromechanical applications, however, the outstanding longitudinal piezoelectricity in domain-engineered relaxor-PT crystals is of the most significance. In this paper, the contributions of polar nanoregions to the longitudinal properties in [001]-poled Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-0.30PbTiO₃ and [110]-poled Pb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O3-0.15PbTiO₃ (PZN-0.15PT) domain-engineered crystals are studied. Taking the [110]-poled tetragonal PZN-0.15PT crystal as an example, phase-field simulations of the domain structures and the longitudinal dielectric/piezoelectric responses are performed. According to the experimental results and phase-field simulations, the contributions of polar nanoregions (PNRs) to the longitudinal properties of relaxor-PT crystals are successfully explained on the mesoscale, where the PNRs behave as “seeds” to facilitate macroscopic polarization rotation and enhance electric-field-induced strain. The results reveal the importance of local structures to the macroscopic properties, where a modest structural variation on the nanoscale greatly impacts the macroscopic properties.

Using neutron elastic and inelastic scattering and high-energy x-ray diffraction, we present a comparison of 40% Pb(Mg{sub 1/3}Nb{sub 2/3})O{sub 3}-60% PbTiO{sub 3} (PMN-60PT) with pure Pb(Mg{sub 1/3}Nb{sub 2/3})O{sub 3} (PMN) and PbTiO{sub 3} (PT). We measure the structural properties of PMN-60PT to be identical to pure PT, however, the lattice dynamics are exactly that previously found in relaxors PMN and Pb(Zn{sub 1/3}Nb{sub 2/3})O{sub 3} (PZN). PMN-60PT displays a well-defined macroscopic structural transition from a cubic to tetragonal unit cell at 550 K. The diffuse scattering is shown to be weak indicating that the structural distortion is long-range in PMN-60PT andmore »« less

Nanoscopic Study of the Polarization-Strain Coupling in Relaxor Ferroelectric and the Search for New Relaxor Materials for Transducer and Optical Applications

Technical Report Toulouse, J

SUMMARY Relaxor ferroelectrics exhibit a very unusual polarization behavior from which derive unique electrostrictive, piezoelectric and other properties. This behavior and these properties are due to the presence of nanoscale structural and polar order, the polar nanoregions (PNR), which can easily reorient under very modest external electric field, in stark contrast with conventional ferroelectrics. Moreover, when these nanoregions are aligned, their local distortions add up coherently to a macroscopic strain, hence their remarkable electrostrictive and piezoelectric properties. Initially, we demonstrated this effect in KTa1-xNbxO3 (KTN) and were able to identify the local internal symmetry of the PNR in KTN andmore »« less

Giant electromechanical coupling of relaxor ferroelectrics controlled by polar nanoregion vibrations

Journal Article Manley, Michael E. ; Abernathy, Douglas L. ; Sahul, Raffi ; ... - Science Advances

Relaxor-based ferroelectrics are prized for their giant electromechanical coupling and have revolutionized sensor and ultrasound applications. A long-standing challenge for piezoelectric materials has been to understand how these ultrahigh electromechanical responses occur when the polar atomic displacements underlying the response are partially broken into polar nanoregions (PNRs) in relaxor-based ferroelectrics. Given the complex inhomogeneous nanostructure of these materials, it has generally been assumed that this enhanced response must involve complicated interactions. By using neutron scattering measurements of lattice dynamics and local structure, we show that the vibrational modes of the PNRs enable giant coupling by softening the underlying macrodomain polarizationmore »« less

Diffuse Neutron Scattering Study of Relaxor Ferroelectric (1-x)Pb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O_3-xPbTiO₃(PZN-xPT)

Conference La-Orauttapong, D. ; Toulouse, J. ; Ye, Z. -G. ; ...

Diffuse neutron scattering is a valuable tool to obtain information about the size and orientation of the polar nanoregions that are a characteristic feature of relaxor ferroelectrics. In this paper, we present new diffuse scattering results obtained on Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PZN for short) and (1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3(PZN-xPT)single crystals (with x=4.5 and 9%), around various Bragg reflections and along three symmetry directions in the [100]-[011] zone. Diffuse scattering is observed around reflections with mixed indices, (100), (011) and (300), and along transverse and diagonal directions only. No diffuse scattering is found in longitudinal scans. The diffuse scattering peaks can be fitted well with amore »« less
Diffused morphotropic phase boundary in relaxor-PbTiO₃ crystals: High piezoelectricity with improved thermal stability

Journal Article Liu, Gang ; Kong, Lingping ; Hu, Qingyang ; ... - Applied Physics Reviews

Solid solution ferroelectrics are the most widely used piezoelectric material for numerous electromechanical applications, including sensors, actuators, and transducers. A milestone in ferroelectric research is the discovery of the morphotropic phase boundary that was first reported in Pb(Zr_xTi_1–x)O₃, which has been extensively solicited to improve the performance of various solid solution ferroelectrics, including those having the highest piezoelectricity known today. However, due to the inherent correlation between phase transition and thermodynamic imbalance, the efforts of building the phase boundary encounter the challenge that high performance materials are generally accompanied by property instability. In this paper, we report a comprehensive studymore »« less
