“…In recent years, some experimental and theoretical investigations about the crystal and domain structure of M phases were reported [26,[39][40][41][42][43][44], which gave us more insight into the M phases. However, up to date, there is still significant debate about the structure of the M phase.…”

The monoclinic (M) phases in high-performance relaxor-based ferroelectric single crystals have been recognized to be a vital structural factor for the outstanding piezoelectric property.However, due to the complexity of the structure in M phases, the understanding about it is still limited. In this work, the local twin domains and tip-voltage-induced domain switching of monoclinic M C phase in Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -0.34PbTiO 3 (PMN-0.34PT) single crystal have been intensively investigated by Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM). By theoretically analyzing the experimental patterns of domain walls on (001) C face, the specific M C twin domains in the initial annealed state of a selected area have been clarified, and the polarization orientation of the M C phase in this sample is determined to be at an angle of 29° to the <001> C directions. In addition, based on the evolution of domains and the motion of domain walls under the step-increased PFM tip DC voltage (V dc ), the switching process and features of different types of M C domain variants are visually revealed.2

“…The large increase of piezoelectricity in relaxor based ferroelectrics could be a critical phenomenon assisted with the elastic stress field and fine structures dominated by the charge-disordered random fields. [26][27][28] The question is what kind of phase structures are there in the MPB systems and how they related with the piezoresponse.…”

Phase morphology and corresponding piezoelectricity in ferroelectric solid solutions were studied by using a phenomenological theory with the consideration of phase coexistence. Results have shown that phases with similar energy potentials can coexist, thus induce interfacial stresses which lead to the formation of adaptive monoclinic phases. A new tetragonal-like monoclinic to rhombohedral-like monoclinic phase transition was predicted in a shear stress state. Enhanced piezoelectricity can be achieved by manipulating the stress state close to a critical stress field. Phase coexistence is universal in ferroelectric solid solutions and may provide a way to optimize ultra-fine structures and proper stress states to achieve ultrahigh piezoelectricity.

“…Relaxor-based single crystals, such as (1− x )Pb (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )- x PbTiO 3 (PMN- x PT), (1− x )Pb(Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )- x PbTiO 3 (PZN- x PT), and (1− x )Pb(Sc 1/3 Nb 2/3 )- x PbTiO 3 (PSN- x PT) have been extensively studied in the past two decades due to their ultrahigh piezoelectric coefficients (>2000 pC/N), electromechanical coupling factors (>0.9), and low loss (<2%) [1–5]. Such giant piezoelectricity has triggered a revolution in many electromechanical devices, including medical ultrasonic imaging transducers, actuators, sonars, accelerometers, etc.…”

The phase-transition sequence of 0.67Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)−0.37PbTiO3 (PMN-0.37PT) single crystals driven by the electric (E) field and temperature is comprehensively studied. Based on the strain-E field loop, polarization-E field loop, and the evolution of domain configurations, the E field along the [011]C induced phase transitions have been confirmed to be as follows: tetragonal (T) → monoclinic (MC) → single domain orthorhombic (O) phase. As the E field decreases, the induced O phase cannot be maintained and transformed to the MC phase, then to the coexistence state of MC and T phases. In addition, the complete sets of dielectric, piezoelectric, and elastic constants for the [011]C-poled domain-engineered PMN-0.37PT single crystal were measured at room temperature, which show high longitudinal dielectric, piezoelectric, and electromechanical properties (ε33T=10 661, d33 = 1052 pC/N, and k33 = 0.766). Our results revealed that the MC phase plays an important role in the high electromechanical properties of this domain-engineered single crystal. The temperature dependence of the domain configuration revealed that the volume fraction of the MC phase decreases with temperature accompanied by the reduction of ε33T, d31, and k31 due to the substantially smaller intrinsic properties of the T phase.
