Abstract

A layered body includes: a substrate; and an oxide portion positioned on the substrate. An oxide that constitutes the oxide portion contains at least two or more rare-earth elements: silicon; and oxygen. The oxide that is contained in the oxide portion exhibits a diffraction peak derived from a (004) plane at a position of 2θ=51.9°±0.9° in an X-ray diffraction pattern, and has an apatite crystal structure. The ratio of linear expansion coefficient of the oxide that constitutes the oxide portion in an a-axis direction relative to linear expansion coefficient of the substrate is 0.15 or more and 1.45 or less.

Claims (34)

1 . A layered body comprising:

a substrate; and

an oxide portion containing an oxide and positioned on the substrate,

wherein the oxide that is contained in the oxide portion contains: at least two or more rare-earth elements; silicon; and oxygen,

the oxide that is contained in the oxide portion exhibits a diffraction peak derived from a (004) plane at a position of 2θ=51.9°±0.9° in an X-ray diffraction pattern, and has an apatite crystal structure, and

a ratio of linear expansion coefficient of the oxide that is contained in the oxide portion in an a-axis direction relative to linear expansion coefficient of the substrate is 0.15 or more and 1.45 or less.

2 . The layered body according to claim 1 ,

wherein the substrate contains silicon.

3 . The layered body according to claim 2 ,
