    Abstract: A piezoelectric element includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a thin piezoelectric layer. The thin piezoelectric layer is provided between the first electrode and the first electrode, and is formed of a perovskite type compound oxide which contains potassium, sodium, and niobium. In the piezoelectric layer, in an X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by θ−2θ measurement, peaks derived from a (002) plane and a (200) plane are provided in a range in which 2θ is from 45° to 47°, a peak position of the peak on a high angle side among the peaks satisfies 46.0°≤2θ≤46.5°, and a difference of 2θ between the peak on the high angle side and the peak on a low angle side is greater than 0.60°.

    Abstract: Provided is a liquid discharge head that includes a nozzle plate provided with a nozzle hole that discharges a liquid, a silicon substrate provided with a pressure generating chamber that communicates with the nozzle hole, a vibration plate provided on the silicon substrate, and a piezoelectric element that is provided on the vibration plate and changes a volume of the pressure generating chamber. The piezoelectric element includes a piezoelectric layer including a composite oxide of a perovskite structure containing lead, zirconium, and titanium. A difference between a peak position derived from a (100) surface of the piezoelectric layer and a peak position derived from a (220) surface of the silicon substrate in an X-ray diffraction of the piezoelectric layer is less than 25.00°.

    Abstract: Provided is a piezoelectric element including a first electrode provided above a substrate, a piezoelectric layer provided above the first electrode, containing potassium, sodium, and niobium, and having a perovskite structure, and a second electrode provided above the piezoelectric layer. In a case where the piezoelectric layer is divided into two portions at a center thereof in a thickness direction, the piezoelectric layer includes a first portion on the first electrode side and a second portion on the second electrode side. The piezoelectric layer includes line defects. A density of the line defects in the second portion is higher than a density of the line defects in the first portion.

    Abstract: There is provided a piezoelectric element which includes a first electrode, a piezoelectric layer which is formed on the first electrode by using a solution method, and is formed from a compound oxide having a perovskite structure in which potassium, sodium, and niobium are provided, and a second electrode which is provided on the piezoelectric layer. A cross-sectional SEM image of the piezoelectric layer is captured at a magnification of 100,000. When evaluation is performed under a condition in which a measured value in a transverse direction is set to 1,273 nm, two or more voids are included in the piezoelectric layer, a difference between the maximum value and the minimum value among diameters of the voids to be largest in a film thickness direction is equal to or smaller than 14 nm, and the maximum value is equal to or smaller than 24 nm.
