Patent number: 8335037Abstract: [Problem] When a nonreciprocal device operating at 100 GHz to 300 GHz is to be realized by using a conventional magnetic material of garnet-type ferrite or spinel-type ferrite, a huge permanent magnet is required and, therefore, it is very difficult to achieve a millimeter-wave band nonreciprocal device for practical use. [Solving means] To solve this problem, there is provided a millimeter-wave band nonreciprocal device composed of a magnetic material represented by a formula ?-MxFe2-xO3 (0<x<2), wherein M is at least one of elements In, Ga, Al, Sc, Cr, Sm, Yb, Ce, Ru, Rh, Ti, Co, Ni, Mn, Zn, Zr, and Y and the magnetic material having ?-phase hematite as a principal phase exhibits strong coercive force and anisotropic magnetic field at room temperature. Dimensions of a magnetic circuit containing a permanent magnet for operations of the nonreciprocal device can be made remarkably small and, by optimum design, the use of the magnetic circuit can be made unnecessary.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2008Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignees: The University of Tokyo, Dowa Electronics Materials Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigeru Takeda, Shin-Ichi Ohkoshi
