Abstract: Single crystals of Na$_{1/2}$Bi$_{1/2}$TiO$_3$–KTaO$_3$ (NBT-KT) solid solutions have been grown for the first time. The elemental composition of as-grown single crystals determined by X-ray diffraction corresponds to 0.81 NBT–0.19 KT. Measurements of the temperature dependences of dielectric characteristics showed that the obtained NBT-KT crystals possess clearly pronounced relaxor properties.
