Patent number: 7333261Abstract: A of producing a magnetic garnet material of which the light absorption characteristics worsen little even though it is produced through LPE. The crucible for LPE is formed of a material containing Au. The amount of Au to be taken in single crystal formed in an Au crucible is smaller than that of Pt to be taken therein formed in a Pt crucible. As compared with Pt, the influence of Au on magnetic garnet film that increases the insertion loss in the film is small.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2006Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Atsushi Ohido, Tamotsu Sugawara, Kazuhito Yamasawa, Shinichiro Kakei, Kazuya Shimakawa, Katsunori Hosoya

Patent number: 7311854Abstract: A ferrite sintered body is composed of an oxide containing, as metal element, at least Fe and Zn and at least one selected from Ni, Cu and Mn. This sintered body contain Fe of 42 to 50 mol % in terms of Fe2O3, and Zn of 15 to 35 mol % in terms of ZnO.
