Abstract
In a (001) pole figure of the active material particles, where a plane parallel to the substrate is defined as the equatorial plane, a Lotgering factor f(001) of an A plane and a Lotgering factor f(001) of a B plane satisfy both Expressions (1) and (2) below, the A plane being an equatorial cross section perpendicular to a line that connects the center of the (001) pole figure and a first point of maximum XRD intensity of peaks attributed to (001) planes at the outer periphery of the equatorial plane, the B plane being an equatorial cross section perpendicular to a line that connects the center of the (001) pole figure and a second point of minimum XRD intensity of peaks attributed to the (001) planes at the outer periphery of the equatorial plane:(001)>0.3   Expression (1)(001)−(001)<1.0   Expression (2).
