Abstract: This hot-deformed R—Fe—B magnet for a variable-magnetic-force motor is an R2—Fe14—B (R is at least one rare earth element selected from among Nd, La, Ce, and Y)-based hot-deformed magnet, including, in atom %, 12.2% or more and 14.5% or less of R2(Nd1-x-y-zLaxCeyYz), where (0.0?x?0.2, 0.0?y+z?0.3), 5% or more and 6.5% or less of B, 0.0% or more and 5.0 or less of Co, and 0.0% or more and 1.0 or less of Ga, with the balance being made up of Fe and inevitable impurities.

Abstract: [Object] To provide a thermoelectric body that can be deposited on any substrate, which is not limited to a single crystal bulk material or an epitaxially grown thin film, and is capable of exhibiting high coercive force and residual magnetization with respect to in-plane magnetization. [Solving Means] A thermoelectric body that is a magnetic film for use in a thermoelectric generation element utilizing an anomalous Nernst effect, characterized by having an easy axis of magnetization in an in-plane direction and an amorphous structure. Favorably, the thermoelectric body is characterized in that SmpCo100-p (0<p?50) or Smp(FeqCo100-q)100-p (0<p?50, 0?q?100) is included.

Abstract: An R-T-B based permanent magnet powder, which has been made by an HDDR process and which has an average crystal grain size of 0.1 ?m to 1 ?m and a crystal grain aspect ratio (ratio of the major axis size to the minor axis size) of 2 or less, is provided (Step (A)). R is a rare-earth element, of which at least 95 at % is Nd and/or Pr, and T is either Fe alone or Fe partially replaced with Co and/or Ni and is a transition metal element, of which at least 50 at % is Fe. Meanwhile, an R?—Cu based alloy powder, which is made up of R? and Cu, which accounts for 2 at % to 50 at % of the alloy powder, is also provided (Step (B)). R? is a rare-earth element, of which at least 90 at % is Nd and/or Pr but which includes neither Dy nor Tb. The R-T-B based permanent magnet powder and the R?—Cu based alloy powder are mixed together to obtain a mixed powder (Step (C)). And then the mixed powder is subjected to a heat treatment process at a temperature of 500° C. to 900° C.
