  • Patent number: 11155932
    Abstract: A method for producing a piezoelectric single crystal ingot shows small variation in the concentration of PbTiO3 in the growth direction of single crystal. A complete solid solution-type piezoelectric single crystal ingot is produced by using the Bridgman method, including: filling a starting material, wherein a relaxor having a compositional formula Pb(B1, B2)O3 is blended with lead titanate having a composition PbTiO3 to give a preset composition, into a crucible for growth; heating to the melting temperature to give a melted liquid layer; then moving the crucible for growth toward the low temperature side; and thus starting one-direction solidification from the lower part of the crucible to thereby produce a single crystal. During solidification, the feedstock containing the relaxor and lead titanate having a maximum grain size ?3 mm is continuously supplied into the crucible.
