  • Patent number: 11488773
    Abstract: When manufacturing a magnetic body whose primary component is Ni—Zn ferrite, an iron oxide powder whose Mn content is 0.20 to 0.85 percent by mass is used as a raw material powder, or, in addition to using an iron oxide powder whose Mn content is 0.20 percent by mass or higher as a raw material powder, a mol ratio of Ni to Zn (Ni/Zn) in the ferrite material is determined based on the Mn content in the iron oxide powder and the raw material powders are compounded in such a way that the mol ratio is achieved. The magnetic body does not contain any additives as essential components other than the primary components of the Ni—Zn ferrite material. A coil component using the magnetic body has excellent direct-current superimposition property and magnetic permeability.

  • Patent number: 6064551
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high quality magnetoresistance effect type magnetic head having an increased reproduction output and capable of applying a uniform bias magnetic field to a magnetoresistance effect layer without increasing an impedance. The magnetoresistance effect type magnetic head according to the present invention includes: a magnetic layer 11 magnetized approximately in a vertical direction to a plane 14 opposing to a magnetic recording medium; a non-magnetic insulation layer 12 formed on the magnetic layer 11; and a magnetoresistance effect layer 13 formed on the non-magnetic insulation layer 12 and exhibiting the magnetoresistance effect. In the longitudinal type magnetoresistance effect type magnetic head according to the present, the detection current supplied to a magnetoresistance element is prevented from flowing into a hard magnetic film to lower the head reproduction output.
