Lead-free potassium lithium tantalate niobate single crystals with the composition of K0.95Li0.05Ta1−xNbxO3(abbreviated as KLTN,x= 0.51, 0.60, 0.69, 0.78) were grown using the top-seeded melt growth method. Their piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties in as-grown crystals have been systematically investigated. The phase transitions and Curie temperatures were determined from dielectric and pyroelectric measurements. Piezoelectric coefficients and electromechanical coupling factors in thickness mode, length-extensional mode and longitudinal mode were obtained. The piezoelectric properties are very attractive, e.g. forx= 0.60 composition,kt≈ 70%,k31≈ 70%,k33≈ 77%,d31≈ 230 pC/N,d33≈ 600 pC/N are comparable to the lead-based PZT composition. The polarization versus electric field hysteresis loops show saturated shapes. In short, lead-free niobium-rich KLTN system possesses comparable properties to those in important lead-based piezoelectric material nowadays.
