    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a (Li, Na, K)(Nb, Ta)O 3 -based piezoelectric/electrostrictive ceramic composition whose electric-field-induced strain is large when applied with a high electric field. SOLUTION: The raw material powders of the (Li, Na, K)(Nb, Ta)O 3 -based piezoelectric/electrostrictive ceramic composition are produced by such steps that a first step to calcine the powders of mixed basic raw materials using a calcination profile at the maximum temperature of 600°C or higher and 800°C or lower in air atmosphere, a second step to pulverize obtained powders in the first step so as to be a BET specific surface area of 5 m 2 /g or more and 15 m 2 /g or less, a third step to calcine obtained powders in the second step using a calcination profile at the maximum temperature of 650°C or higher and 900°C or lower and a fourth step to pulverize obtained powders in the third step so as to be a BET specific surface area of 10 m 2 /g or less.
