A potassium niobate deposited body in accordance with an embodiment of the
invention includes an R-plane sapphire substrate, and a potassium niobate
layer or a potassium niobate solid solution layer formed above the
R-plane sapphire substrate, wherein the potassium niobate layer or the
potassium niobate solid solution layer epitaxially grows in a (100)
orientation in a pseudo cubic system expression, and the potassium
niobate layer or the potassium niobate solid solution layer has a (100)
plane that tilts with a [11-20] direction vector as a rotation axis with
respect to an R-plane (1-102) of the R-plane sapphire substrate.
