Abstract
There is provided a lead-free piezoelectric material having a satisfactory piezoelectric constant and mechanical quality factor in the range of device operating temperatures (from −30° C. to 50° C.). The piezoelectric material contains a main constituent containing a perovskite-type metal oxide expressed by the general formula (BaCa)(TiZr)O, where x, y and a satisfy the 0.030≤x<0.090, 0.030≤y≤0.080, and 0.9860≤a≤1.0200. The material also contains 0.040 to 0.500 part by weight of Mn, 0.042 to 0.850 part by weight of Bi, 0 to 0.028 part by weight of Li, 0.001 to 4.000 part by weight of a third sub-constituent including at least one of Si and B, and 0.001 to 4.000 parts by weight of Cu, each in terms of element relative to 100 parts by weight of the metal oxide.
