Abstract
A piezoelectric ceramic comprising at least two kinds of ceramic domains that are different from each other either in composition or in piezoelectric characteristics. It is made possible to produce a piezoelectric ceramic with better piezoelectric characteristics than that composed of a single kind of ceramic domain by having the compositions or the piezoelectric characteristics of each ceramic domain properly selected. For example, it is possible to obtain a piezoelectric ceramic of an extremely small rate of change in resonance frequency in response to a change in temperature by having a ceramic domain with a positive rate of change in resonance frequency in response to a change in temperature and the one with a negative rate of change in resonance frequency in response to a change in temperature combined.
