抄録

The electrical properties of a piezoelectric single crystal of calcium aluminate silicate Ca 2 Al 2 SiO 7 (CAS) were studied at elevated temperatures and its applicability to high-temperature pressure sensors was investigated. The CAS bulk single crystal was grown by the Czochralski method. The piezoelectric d 14 and d 36 constants were respectively evaluated as 6.04 and 4.04 pC/N by the resonance and antiresonance method. The temperature dependence of the piezoelectric constant was investigated at temperatures up to 500 °C. The electrical resistivity at 800 °C was on the order of 10 8 Ω·cm along both the crystallographic a - and c -axes. The measurement of direct piezoelectric response at 700 °C demonstrated that the CAS crystal could detect a pseudo-combustion pressure change of an automobile engine. Our observations suggest that CAS crystals are superior candidates for sensing pressure at high temperatures.
