Abstract

Provided are a piezoelectric thin film including a lead-free ferroelectric material and exhibiting high piezoelectric performance comparable to that of lead zirconate titanate (PZT), and a method of manufacturing the piezoelectric thin film. The piezoelectric thin film of the present invention includes: a LaNiO3 film having a (001) orientation; an interface layer having a (001) orientation and composed of a compound represented by a chemical formula ABO3 (where A is represented by (Bi,Na)1-xCx (0≦x≦1), B is Ti or TiZr, and C is an alkali metal other than Na); and a (Bi,Na,Ba)TiO3 film having a (001) orientation. The LaNiO3 film, the interface layer, and the (Bi,Na,Ba)TiO3 film are laminated in this order.
