To find (001) in-plane orientation for TEM measurement Using a polarizing microscope: For the (110) wafer, the angle between two extinction bits is 71 degrees or 109 degrees, the direction of the 71 degree bisector is the (110) orientation and the direction of the 109 degree angle bisector is the (001) orientation.

 

Frequency constant (Nt) values of PMN-PT single crystal: Nt for PMN-PT (001) is ~2270; Nt for PMN-PT (110) is ~2450.

As a novel kind of piezoelectric materials, relaxor-based ferroelectric single crystals exhibit ultrahigh piezoelectric performances, which surpass largely those of conventional PZTs piezoelectric ceramics. Our company can provide three generations of relaxor-based piezocrystals, i.e. Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (abbreviated as PMN-PT or PMNT), Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (abbreviated as PIN-PMN-PT or PIMNT) and Mn doped Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (abbreviated as Mn:PIN-PMN-PT or Mn:PIMNT) in large scale. High quality, large size and uniform crystals are available, which can satisfy various ultrasonic transducers in medical ultrasonic imaging, nondestructive examination and energy harvesting, solid-state actuators and composites such as magnetoelectric ones. The crystals have also good electro-optic properties and excellent pyroelectric properties, which can find application in the fields of electro-optic modulators in optical communications and pyroelectric devices in infrared detection and so on.

The main performance specifications are presented in the above tables. Various cut-type samples can be offered. Please contact us by email to discuss your requirements.
