Bulk crystal of 伪-BaTeMo2O9 with dimensions up to 90 脳 38 脳 27 mm3 was grown successfully by a top-seeded solution growth method. In the crystal growth process, a low cooling rate (0.1鈥?.5 掳C/day) and dynamic adjustment of rotating speed were adopted in order to stabilize the metastable growth and improve the crystal quality. The crystal facets {002}, {010}, {201虆}, {111} are in good accordance with the predicted growth morphology based on the Bravais鈥揊riedel and Donnay鈥揌arker method. The complete sets of the dielectric, elastic, and piezoelectric constants of the 伪-BaTeMo2O9 crystals have been determined by means of the resonant technique and impedance analysis at room temperature. The results show that the 伪-BaTeMo2O9 crystal possesses much smaller piezoelectric constants (d31 = 鈭?.8 pm/V, d15 = 4.9 pm/V, and d31 = 0.3 pm/V) than that of 尾-BaTeMo2O9. In addition, the structural distortions and dipole moments of 伪-BaTeMo2O9 and 尾-BaTeMo2O9 were analyzed and calculated to explain the obvious differences upon the properties between the two crystals.
