There is disclosed a piezoelectric/electrostrictive body in which a polarization direction of a domain indicates reversible conversion in an electric field and a strain ratio increases, a manufacturing method of the same, and a piezoelectric/electrostrictive element. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive body includes a matrix phase represented by a composition formula ABO3, and an additional, material phase included in the matrix phase, having at least a crystal structure of tetragonal system, represented by a composition formula ABO3 and having a composition different from that of the matrix phase. For example, an alkali-niobate-based material of the tetragonal system, BaTiO3, PZT, PbTiO3, or (Bi0.5, Na0.5)TiO3 is added as an additional material forming the additional material phase to an alkali-niobate-based matrix material forming the matrix phase to form the piezoelectric/electrostrictive body. An amount of the additional material to be added has a volume ratio of 5 vol % or more and 30 vol % or less (5 vol % or more and 45 vol % or less in a case where an additional material having a composition to which Mn has been added is used) with respect to the matrix material.

Provided is a piezoelectric-film-type electron emitter of high durability exhibiting suppressed reduction in electron emission quantity, which reduction would otherwise occur with repeated use of the electron emitter. The electron emitter includes a substrate, a lower electrode, an emitter layer, and an upper electrode. The upper electrode has a plurality of openings, and an emitter section located on the top surface of the emitter layer is exposed through the openings to a reduced-pressure atmosphere. The electron emitter is configured so that when a pulse drive voltage Va is applied between the lower electrode and the upper electrode, electrons are accumulated on the emitter section, and then the electrons are emitted toward the reduced-pressure atmosphere. The emitter layer contains a primary component (i.e., a ferroelectric composition) and an additional component. The additional component contains a transition metal oxide of high oxidation number which can serve as an oxidizing agent by being converted into an oxide of the transition metal of lower oxidation number.

The piezoelectric/electrostrictive body is represented by a composition formula ABO3 (A includes at least one element selected from the group consisting of Li, Na and K, and B includes at least one element selected from the group consisting of Nb, Ta, Sb and Mn), and the body is formed so that a main phase is a tetragonal system, and the orientation degree of a (001) face after a polarization treatment is smaller than that of a (100) face, in a plane vertical to the applying direction of an electric field applied so as to perform the polarization treatment. The present inventive piezoelectric/electrostrictive body has a ratio between a diffraction peak intensity I001 of the (001) face and a diffraction peak intensity I100 of the (100) face of I001/I100≦1, in an X-ray diffraction pattern in the same plane after the polarization treatment.
