Abstract

Novel Bi-layer Perovskite ferroelectrics constituted of BiO intermediate layers (17) and pseudo-Perovskite layers (18) stacked alternately are disclosed. The Bi-layer Perovskite ferroelectrics have such a crystal structure which has a fundamental skeleton composed of each intermediate layer (17) consisting of one BiO plane and each pseudo-Perovskite structure (18) consisting of Pb(Zr, Ti)O.sub.3. Since the intermediate layer (17) is constituted of the BiO layer, the ferroelectrics are more excellent in ferroelectric characteristics and thermodynamic stability than known Perovskite ferroelectrics comprising a Bi.sub.2 O.sub.2 layer.
