title: Influence of manganese doping to the full tensor properties of 0.24Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-0.47Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.29PbTiO3single crystals.
abstract: Complete sets of elastic, piezoelectric, dielectric, and electromechanical properties of [001]cand [011]cpoled pure and 0.5 wt. % manganese-doped 0.24Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-0.47Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.29PbTiO3single crystals have been characterized at room temperature. The results indicate that manganese ion substitution in the B-site of perovskite 0.24PIN-0.47PMN-0.29PT single crystals makes the material harder with much higher mechanical quality factorQmand slight decrease in piezoelectric and dielectric constants. The much improvedQmvalue (200-900) makes Mn-doped single crystals more suitable for high-power transducer applications than pure single crystals.
