Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between phase transitions and the high electrostrain and piezoelectric properties of PMN-30PT single crystals, particularly near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB).
- It identifies two types of phase transitions: those dominated by electric field effects and those governed by temperature, with each influencing the electrostrain and piezoelectric constant differently.
- The research reveals that maximum electrostrain occurs at specific electric field-dominated transitions, highlighting the significance of these transitions for enhancing the performance of materials with electrostrictive and piezoelectric properties.
