Abstract: Relaxor-based ferroelectric single crystals Pb(Mg₁/₃ Nb₂/₃ )O₃-PbTiO₃ (PMN-PT) have drawn much attention in the ferroelectric field because of their excellent piezoelectric properties and high electromechanical coupling coefficients (d₃₃~2000 pC/N, kt~60%) near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). Ternary Pb(In₁/₂Nb₁/₂)O₃-Pb(Mg₁/₃ Nb₂/₃)O₃-PbTiO₃ (PIN-PMN-PT) single crystals also possess outstanding performance comparable with PMN-PT single crystals, but have higher phase transition temperatures (rhombohedral to tetragonal T[sub rt], and tetragonal to cubic T[sub c]) and larger coercive field Ec. Therefore, these relaxor-based single crystals have been extensively employed for ultrasonic transducer applications. In this paper, an overview of our work and perspectives on using PMN-PT and PIN-PMN-PT single crystals for ultrasonic transducer applications is presented. Various types of single-element ultrasonic transducers, including endoscopic transducers, intravascular transducers, high-frequency and high-temperature transducers fabricated using the PMN-PT and PIN-PMN-PT crystals and their 2-2 and 1-3 composites are reported. Besides, the fabrication and characterization of the array transducers, such as phased array, cylindrical shaped linear array, high-temperature linear array, radial endoscopic array, and annular array, are also addressed.
