Abstract: A linear vibration actuator includes: a mover having a plurality of magnets linearly arrayed in the vibration direction; a guide portion holding the mover to be allowed to linearly move in the vibration direction; a plurality of planar coils wound in a flat plate shape on a flat surface facing the mover; a pair of first biasing magnets respectively arranged at both ends of the mover in the vibration direction; and a pair of second biasing magnets that are respectively arranged facing the pair of first biasing magnets, and respectively have the same polarities as those of the pair of first biasing magnets to bias the mover in the vibration direction.

Abstract: To provide an SmCo-based rare earth sintered magnet having a small diameter and a multipolar magnetized magnetic structure and having a high coercive force and a high magnetization rate. The outer shape of an SmCo-based rare earth sintered magnet having a coercive force HCJ (kOe) at a room temperature (° C.) of 7.5 (kOe)<HCJ?27 (kOe) is formed into any one of a cylindrical shape, a ring-like shape, a columnar shape, and a disk-like shape. Multi-pole magnetization is performed on the SmCo-based rare earth sintered magnet so as to satisfy (diameter D/the number of poles p) (mm)<(4/?) (mm) (p is an even number equal to or greater than 4), and the magnetization rate is set to 80(%) or more.

Abstract: Provided is a gallium oxide single crystal and a gallium oxide single crystal substrate that can improve the luminous efficiency. In a gallium oxide single crystal 13, the dislocation density is less than or equal to 3.5×106/cm2. The gallium oxide single crystal 13 is manufactured by the EFG method. Further, the seed touch temperature in the EFG method is greater than or equal to 1930 degrees centigrade and less than or equal to 1950 degrees centigrade. A neck part 13a of the gallium oxide single crystal 13 is less than or equal to 0.8 mm. A gallium oxide single crystal substrate 21 is made of the gallium oxide single crystal 13.

Abstract: [Object] Disclosed is a highly sensitive piezoelectric/magnetostrictive composite magnetic sensor which has a simple structure and thus can be downsized easily. [Solving Means] Film(s) of magnetostrictive material, which is composed of an Fe alloy containing Pd, Ga, Co and the like, is(are) formed and integrated on at least one surface of a piezoelectric ceramic substrate by a sputtering method. When the magnetostrictive material is deformed by an external magnetic field, a stress is applied to the piezoelectric material that is integrated with the magnetostrictive material. The voltage generated by the change in the polarization within the piezoelectric material, said change being caused by the stress, is sensed as an output of the magnetic sensor.
