Abstract
An electric-field-inducible deformable porcelain material is provided, comprising a main component BaTiO3, with 0.05 to 2 wt % of at least one selected from Mn, Cu and Co in terms of a metal added thereto. The crystal phase in the porcelain is a single perovskite phase, and the value of the transversal electric-field-inducible deformation is 300×10−6 or more in the field strength of 2000 V/mm. It is presumed that the amount of the rotating 90° domain becomes greater, and the electric-field-induced deformation due to this is increased. Thus, a sufficient displacement amount as a piezoelectric material is obtained.
