Original Abstract Submitted

An acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric material layer, and an IDT electrode on the piezoelectric material layer and including first electrode fingers and second electrode fingers arranged periodically. The electrode fingers each include at least one electrode layer including at least one of Nb, Pd, or Ni. A sum of thicknesses of the at least one electrode layer, calculated assuming that the electrode layer(s) includes Mo and based on a density ratio between the electrode layer(s) and Mo, is at least about 10% of a spatial period of the electrode fingers.
