A new ordered piezoelectric single-crystal Ca3TaAl3Si2O14 (CTAS) with langasite structure has been successfully grown with the dimensions of 14−18 mm in diameter and 45 mm in length using the Czochralski technique. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) of the single crystal was performed at room temperature. The lattice parameters were calculated. They are a = 8.060 A, c = 4.909 A, V = 276.19 A3. X-ray fluorescence analysis was used to determine the molar ratio of the ions of the crystal. That is 3.049:0.945:2.975:2:13.875 Ca2+:Ta5+:Al3+:Si4+:O2−. High-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) results indicate that CTAS crystals are free of low-angle boundaries. The piezoelectric strain constant d11 measured by quasi-static d33 meter is 5.0 pC/N. The transmittance spectrum shows that the as-grown crystal is transparent in the wavelength range of 200−800 nm and the highest transmittance exceeds 86%.
