摘要:
A lower electrode is formed on a silica glass substrate or a stainless substrate. Through a sputtering process, a thin film of aluminum nitride and/or zinc oxide is formed on the lower substrate so that the degree of dipole-orientation becomes 55% or more, and thereby a piezoelectric thin film is formed. And an upper electrode is formed on the piezoelectric thin film.A piezoelectric device has a piezoelectric layer made of aluminum nitride and/or zinc oxide. Aluminum nitride and zinc oxide with a crystal structure have inborn piezoelectric characteristics because their crystal structures are not symmetrical, they do not have Curie temperature unlike ferroelectrics, and in aluminum nitride and zinc oxide, magnetic transition does not occur even at high temperature, so that they never lose piezoelectric characteristics until crystal melts or sublimates.

The present invention is a method for producing swellable or nonswellable fluorine mica at a relatively lower temperature by heating a powdery mixture comprising 10 to 35% by weight of an alkali silicofluoride as the main component optionally together with an alkali fluoride and the balance of talc. This fluorine mica is used for pigments, etc.

The present invention has an objective to provide a high performance piezoelectric element in which is formed an aluminum nitride thin film free from hillocks, cracks, and peeling which exhibits superhigh c-axis orientation, by forming a bottom electrode from a W layer with no intervening adhesive layer on a glass or other cheap substrate. The piezoelectric element of the present invention is a piezoelectric element using a superhigh-oriented aluminum nitride thin film characterized in that the piezoelectric element is free from hillocks, cracks, and peeling and includes a stack structure in which a bottom electrode, a piezoelectric body thin film, and a top electrode are sequentially formed on a substrate; the bottom electrode is made of an oriented W layer of which a (111) plane of W is parallel to a surface of the substrate; and the piezoelectric body thin film is formed of a c-axis-oriented aluminum nitride thin film having a rocking curve full width half maximum (RCFWHM) not exceeding 2.5°.

A spherical crystalline metal oxide particle is produced by introducing a metal ion-containing solution, which has been atomized, into an atmosphere that is kept at 1000° C. or more and under oxidizing condition, in order to concurrently dry and sinter the metal ion-containing solution. Moreover, As an apparatus for producing the particle, an apparatus is used, which is structured by connecting: (A) a heating apparatus for concurrently drying and sintering an atomized particulate, the heating apparatus (4) including multi channel atomizing apparatus (3) having a function of atomizing a metal ion-containing solution, and a function of sorting a size of the thus atomized particulate; and (B) an electrostatic particle collecting apparatus (5) for electrostatically collecting the particle that is thus produced by (A) and has a predetermined size. With this arrangement, it is possible to provide a method and an apparatus capable of obtaining a highly crystalline spherical particle of a metal oxide safely and easily.

Ultra-fine hollow glass spheres suitable as a filler in light-weight composite materials for building use and the like can be prepared from a fine powder of volcanic glass even when the starting powder has a particle size as fine as 20 .mu.m or smaller. The inventive method comprises an acid-leaching treatment of the starting powder using hydrochloric or sulfuric acid under hydrothermal conditions at 150.degree.-200.degree. C. to modify the chemical composition in the surface layer of the particles and a subsequent heat treatment of the acid-treated particles at a specified high temperature to effect expansion by the water vapor produced from the structural water in the softened particles. By virtue of the modified composition in the surface layer and in contrast to the prior art method without the acid treatment, a good balance can be obtained between the rate of water vapor release and softening of the particles even when the particle size is extremely small to facilitate expansion of the particles.

According to the present invention, a thin film made of a wurtzite structure compound is manufactured by a reactive sputtering using a metal material as a target, and a nitrogen gas or an oxygen gas as a reactive gas. By optimizing film-forming conditions when manufacturing the film, it is possible to obtain a wurtzite thin film whose polarization directions of crystal grains are aligned in a uniform direction. According to a laminate of the present invention, a first wurtzite crystalline layer made of a wurtzite crystalline structure compound is formed in advance between a substrate and a functional material layer that is a ground. Thus, it is possible to improve the crystallinity and crystalline orientation of a second wurtzite crystalline layer formed on the functional material layer.
