Abstract: A powder which is composed of particles that are mainly composed of calcium titanate having a perovskite crystal structure, and primary particles of which have a generally spherical shape and an average particle diameter within the range of from 20 nm to 100 nm (inclusive). This powder is produced by a method which comprises: the production of calcium titanate by subjecting a mixed liquid that contains a sugar, an alkali, a water-soluble compound containing calcium, and a compound which is obtained by deflocculating a hydrolysis poroduct of a titanium compound with use of a monobasic acid to a high-pressure liquid-phase reaction that includes heating to a temperature of from 100° C. to 270° C. (inclusive),; and a subsequent calcium removal treatment.

Abstract: In a rotary electric machine, for ensuring a cooling air flow between a rotor iron core and a stator iron core without enlarging a rotor, a separation preventing device is provided at a position between adjacent slots so as to correspond to each other at a shrink-fitting position where a retaining ring is shrink-fitted to a rotor iron core. Since a separation preventing position of the retaining ring is located at the shrink-fitting position, it is possible to reduce a length of the retaining ring itself so as not to be adjacent to the end portion of the stator iron core. Accordingly, a gap between the rotor iron core and the stator iron core does not reduce. As a result, it is possible to ensure a cooling air flow between the rotor iron core and the stator iron core without enlarging the rotor.
