    摘要: A multilayer piezoelectric element includes a ceramic base body, a pair of external electrodes, multiple internal electrodes, and surface electrodes. The ceramic base body is formed by a piezoelectric ceramic. The pair of external electrodes cover a pair of end faces. The multiple internal electrodes are stacked inside the ceramic base body along a thickness direction crossing at right angles with a longitudinal direction, and connected alternately to the pair of external electrodes in the thickness direction. The surface electrodes are provided on a pair of principal faces, respectively, and are each connected to the external electrode different from the one to which the internal electrode adjacent in the thickness direction is connected. The pair of external electrodes have a higher porosity than the surface electrodes.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a multilayer piezoelectric element includes a multilayer piezoelectric body and multiple internal electrodes. The multilayer piezoelectric body has a pair of principal faces in a first-axis direction, a pair of end faces in a second-axis direction crossing at right angles with the first-axis direction and defining the longitudinal direction, and a pair of side faces in a third-axis direction crossing at right angles with the first-axis direction and second-axis direction. The multiple internal electrodes are placed inside the multilayer piezoelectric body and stacked in the first-axis direction. Among the multiple internal electrodes, a center internal electrode placed at the center part of the multilayer piezoelectric body is such that its first cross-sectional shape, as viewed from the third-axis direction, has undulations greater than the undulations of the second cross-sectional shape of the center internal electrode as viewed from the second-axis direction.
