A lead-free single crystal 0.92(Na0.5Bi0.5)TiO3-0.06BaTiO(3)-0.02(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (NBT-6BT-2KNN) with dimension of Phi 35mm x 10mm is grown by a precisely controlled top seeded solution growth method. The < 001 > oriented single crystals have excellent piezoelectric properties with a giant strain of 0.83% at 28 kV/cm. Application of an electric-field >= 14 kV/cm leads to a phase transition from pseudocubic to coexistence of tetragonal and pseudocubic. A strong ferroelectric domain texture occurs during the phase transition. Furthermore, the variation of tetragonal phase fraction agrees well with the macroscopic strain curve, demonstrating that the induced tetragonal phase plays a critical role in the high strain property.
