摘要
Ba_(0.77)Ca_(0.23)TiO_(3)(BCT)single crystal has been widely studied as a promising lead-free ferroelectric material.In this work,high-quality BCT crystal was successfully grown by the Czochralski(CZ)method.The as-grown crystal is crack-free and shows black coloration.It possesses a high dielectric stability over a wide temperature range,while the dielectric loss is rather small below 90℃.Furthermore,it possesses excellent ferroelectric properties with residual polarization strength(Pr)and coercive field(Ec)of 17.93μC/cm^(2) and 8.47 kV/cm,respectively.Besides,BCT crystal shows large electromechanical coupling factors,with kt,k31,k33 and k15 of 0.535,0.254,0.714 and 0.721,respectively.The piezoelectric coefficients d31,d33 and d15 are measured to be−36.5,130 and 246 pC/N,respectively.
