Domain Wall Engineering in Lead-Free Piezoelectric Materials and Their Enhanced Piezoelectricities

  • Chapter

Abstract

The engineered domain configurations were induced in barium titanate (BaTiO3) single crystals, and their piezoelectric properties were investigated as a function of the domain size (domain wall density). As a result, it was revealed that the piezoelectric properties were strongly dependent on the domain sizes (domain wall density), i.e., the piezoelectric properties significantly increased with decreasing domain size. The calculated d 31 of the [111]c oriented tetragonal BaTiO3 single-domain crystal was –62 pC/N, while the measured value of the [111]c poled tetragonal BaTiO3 crystal with a domain size of 3 μm was –243.2 pC/N, i.e. an increase of four-fold. When the much finer domain size (below 1 μm) can be induced in the [001]c poled orthorhombic BaTiO3 crystals, the significantly enhanced piezoelectric properties can be expected.
