Popis: Lead magnesium niobate–lead titanate, 0.675Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.325PbTiO3 (PMN–32.5PT) ceramics were textured (grain-oriented) in the 〈001〉-crystallographic direction by the templated grain growth process. The textured PMN–32.5PT ceramics were produced by orienting {001}-SrTiO3 (ST) platelets (∼10 μm in diameter and ∼2-μm thickness) in a submicron PMN–32.5PT matrix. The templated growth of 〈001〉-oriented PMN–32.5PT grains on the ST platelets resulted in textured ceramics with ∼70% Lotgering factor and >98% theoretical density. Unlike most lead-based ceramics, excess PbO was not needed for sintering or grain growth. Based on unipolar stain-field measurements at 0.2 Hz, the textured samples displayed >0.3% strain at 50 kV/cm. Low-field d33-coefficients of >1600 pC/N (
