Abstract:
1. A piezoelectric film element, having on a substrate, at least a lower electrode, a lead-free piezoelectric film, and an upper electrode, wherein at least the lower electrode out of the lower electrode and the upper electrode has a crystal structure of a cubic crystal system, a tetragonal crystal system, an orthorhombic crystal system, a hexagonal crystal system, a monoclinic crystal system, a triclinic crystal system, a trigonal crystal system, or has a composition in which one of these crystals exists or two or more of them coexist, and crystal axes of the crystal structure are preferentially oriented to a specific axis smaller than or equal to two axes of these crystals, and a ratio c/a′ is set in a range of 0.992 or more and 0.999 or less, which is the ratio of a crystal lattice spacing c in a direction of a normal line to the substrate surface, with respect to a crystal lattice spacing a′ whose inclination angle from the substrate surface is in a range of 10° or more and 30° or less.
