World's largest Classed piezoelectric single crystal (80 mm in diameter)

Piezoelectric Single Crystal PMN-PT

JFE MINERAL CO.,Ltd. has developed a manufacturing technique for a high-function piezoelectric single crystal material, which features the piezoelectric constant that is more than two and a half times larger than that of conventional products.



Product Properties

Piezoelectric constant (d33) is more than two and a half times larger than the piezoelectric ceramic PZT.
2 Electro-Mecanical (E/M) coupling coefficients (k33) exceeds 90 percent.
3 Acoustic impedance Z33 is lower than that of the piezoelectric ceramic PZT and close to that of the human body.
4 As the case of Mn-Zn Ferrite Single Crystals,PMN-PT single crystals are grown by Melt-Bridgman Method Accodingly.

Applications
 ・Medical ultrasonic probes
 ・Non-destructive testing (NDT) vibrators
 ・Micro actuators
