The contents by weight ratio of lanthanum oxide, gallium oxide, and
silicon oxide, which are components, in the longitudinal cross-section
and transverse cross-section of the straight part, excluding the shoulder
part, of a Langasite single crystal ingot grown by pulling-up Langasite
is within a range of .+-.0.05% with respect to the target amounts at all
measured locations, and because of having a superior homogeneity in the
content of components over the entire ingot, when used, for example, in a
piezoelectric device such as an surface acoustic wave filter, has
properties for industrial application that contribute to the
stabilization of characteristics as well as reducing the costs.
