Abstract
YCa<sub>4</sub>O(BO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> (YCOB) crystal was reported to be a potential material for high temperature piezoelectric sensing applications. In this paper, the full matrix of electro-elastic constants, including dielectric permittivities, elastic constants, and piezoelectric coefficients were determined. The relative dielectric permittivities were measured to be ε<sub>11</sub><sup>T</sup>/ε<sub>0</sub>=9.65, ε<sub>22</sub><sup>T</sup>/ε<sub>0</sub>=11.80, ε <sub>33</sub><sup>T</sup>/ε<sub>0</sub>=9.55, and ε<sub>13</sub> <sup>T</sup>/ε<sub>0</sub>=0.95, respectively. The piezoelectric coefficients were determined to be d<sub>11</sub> = 1.7, d<sub>12</sub> = 3.9, d<sub>13</sub> = -4.2, d<sub>15</sub> = -1.1, d<sub>24</sub> = 4.4, d <sub>26</sub> = 7.9, d<sub>31</sub> = -0.77, d<sub>32</sub> = -2.5, d <sub>33</sub> = 1.4, and d<sub>35</sub> = -5.0 pC N<sup>-1</sup>. In addition, piezoelectric cross-talks of YCOB crystals were investigated, where (XZlw)45°/35° and (YXt)-30° crystal cuts were found to possess pure thickness shear mode, with relatively large effective piezoelectric coefficients, being on the order of d<sub>15</sub> = 8.8 and d<sub>26</sub> = 9.0 pC N<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
