Paraelectric K 0.99 Li 0.01 Ta 1− x Nb x O 3 ( x   =  0.38, 0.39, 0.40) lead‐free single crystals have been grown by the top‐seeded solution growth method. All the crystals have Curie temperature ( T c ) close to room temperature (RT), and possess large relative dielectric constants near T c . A scanning Michelson interferometer was used to investigate the electrostrictive (ES) behavior of the crystals. The crystals show pure ES characteristics and large electrosrictive coefficients. The ES coefficient Q 11 of K 0.99 Li 0.01 Ta 0.60 Nb 0.40 O 3 reaches as high as 0.12 m 4 /C 2 , about six times of the value of Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ceramics.
