Dielectric material and multilayer ceramic electronic device

Abstract

A dielectric material includes a main component, a first subcomponent, a second subcomponent, and a third subcomponent. The main component includes barium titanate. The first subcomponent includes zirconium of 2 mol or more and 10 mol or less with respect to 100 mol of titanium of the dielectric material, so that a molar ratio of barium to a sum of titanium and zirconium in the dielectric material is more than 0.90 and less than 0.98. The second subcomponent includes gadolinium of 0.5 mol or more and 2 mol or less with respect to 100 mol of titanium in the dielectric material. The third subcomponent includes 0.01 mol or more and 2 mol or less of manganese with respect to 100 mol of titanium in the dielectric material.
