A procedure is presented for growing single crystals of (Pb x Sr 1‐x )TiO 3 by passing solvent zones through poly‐crystalline rods of the same composition (THM). The solvent zone composition for homogeneous solid solution growth was chosen from the pseudoquaternary system 2PbO: 1B 2 O 3 ‐2SrO:1B 2 O 3 ‐PbTiO 3 ‐SrTiO 3 . Crystals with compositions throughout the complete range of PbTiO 3 ‐SrTiOs solid solutions were grown. Emphasis was placed on crystal compositions near (Pb 0.25 Sr 0.78 ) TiO 3 which have Curie temperatures just below room temperature. The dielectric constants, Curie temperatures, and optical properties of these single crystals are presented. Nonlinear dielectric and electrooptic behaviors are also demonstrated.
