H. Takeda et al., Effect of (Sr, Ba) substitution in La3Ga5SiO14 and La3M0.5Ga5.5O14 (M = Nb5+, Ta5+) crystals on their synthesis, structure and piezoelectricity, J ALLOY COM, 290(1-2), 1999, pp. 79-84
Alkali-earth ion (Sr, Ba) substituted La3Ga5SiO14, and La(3)M(0.5)G(5.5)O(1
4) (M=Nb5+,Ta5+) compounds were synthesized by solid state reaction. Sr-sub
stituted La3Ta0.5Ga5.5O14 (Sr-LTG) single crystals were grown by the micro-
pulling down and Czochralski techniques. The cation distribution in Sr-LTG
has been determined by X-ray structure analysis. Some piezoelectric propert
ies of Sr-LTG crystal are reported and compared with those of pure La3Ta0.5
Ga5.5O14. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
