Abstract: A positive electrode and a negative electrode are formed on both main surfaces of a solid electrolyte. Preferably, the solid electrolyte is a thin film body with a thickness of less than or equal to 200 ?m, and contains an ion conductive compound such as Li ions. The positive electrode and the negative electrode contain an ion conductive substance, for example Li2O, which contains an ion conductive element such as Li, in a range of less than 50 vol % (not including 0 vol %), preferably 1 to 35 vol %.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an all-solid-state capacitor which has a high capacitance, is excellent in frequency characteristics, and can be made compact. An all-solid-state capacitor of the disclosure includes an inorganic solid electrolyte, and a pair of current collectors disposed so as to hold the inorganic solid electrolyte in between, the inorganic solid electrolyte having a main crystal phase of perovskite crystal structure that is expressed by a general formula, ABO3. A-site elements include two different elements, namely Li and M which is at least one of elements in Group 2 of the Periodic Table of Elements, and B-site elements include two different elements, namely Ti and M? which is at least one of elements in Group 5 of the Periodic Table of Elements.

Abstract: To provide a capacitor capable of having a larger capacity than a case where only a solid electrolyte is simply used as a dielectric material of the capacitor. The capacitor (1) includes a solid electrolytic body (3) and a plurality of electrodes (5, 7) which is formed on the solid electrolytic body (3) and disposed opposite to each other with the solid electrolytic body (3) interposed therebetween, and the solid electrolytic body (3) includes an oxide-based lithium ion conductive solid electrolyte as a base material and contains oxide particles formed of a part of elements configuring the base material.

In the solid-state ion capacitor, the particle number in the thickness direction of the solid electrolyte sandwiched between the electrodes was at least 1 and the average particle number was 80 or less. Further, the solid electrolyte includes particles with D10˜D90 in the particle diameters of particle size distribution of 0.5 ?m or more and 100 ?m or less.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a piezoelectric material that endures high temperatures, the resources of raw materials of which are abundant, and that is stably suppliable. Disclosed is a piezoelectric element, including: a piezoelectric member having a surface for receiving external stress and a side surface that is perpendicular to the surface for receiving external stress; and at least one pair of a first electrode and a second electrode that are placed on the side surface, the first electrode being provided so as to separate from the second electrode. The piezoelectric member is preferably cut out from a piezoelectric material that includes gehlenite (Ca2Al2SiO7) in a predetermined crystal orientation. The piezoelectric member utilizes a transverse piezoelectric effect, and is preferably a (XYt) 45°-cut piece. The electrodes are preferably provided on surfaces that are parallel to the YZ plane.

Abstract: All-solid-state capacitor includes an inorganic solid electrolyte, and a pair of current collectors disposed so that the inorganic solid electrolyte is interposed therebetween. In the all-solid-state capacitor, the inorganic solid electrolyte has a polycrystalline structure composed of crystal particles and crystal grain boundaries formed between the crystal particles. In a first crystal particle included in the crystal particles, a domain located near the crystal grain boundaries is larger in size than a domain located near the center.
