Piezo-/ferroelectric crystals of a new Pb(Yb 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 -Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -PbTiO 3 ternary solid solution system with the dimensions of 30 × 30 × 12 mm 3 have been grown by the top-seeded solution growth method for the first time. The crystal structure is analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction at various temperature. The composition of the grown crystals is found to be near the ternary morphotropic phase boundary. The Curie temperature T C reaches 205 °C. The piezoelectric coefficient d 33 and the longitudinal electromechanical coupling factor k 33 are found to be 1800 pC/N and 90%, respectively. A remanent polarization Pr of 27.8 μC/cm 2 is displayed with a coercive field E c of about 7 kV/cm. These results show that the PYMNT crystals exhibit a higher T C and a larger coercive field than the binary PMN-PT piezocrystals, making this material a promising candidate for high-power electromechanical transducers that can operate in a wider temperature range.
