Abstract: A permanent magnet motor includes: a rotor and a stator; and a plurality of permanent magnets placed on either the rotor or the stator. Each permanent magnet is an R—Fe—B based rare-earth sintered magnet including a light rare-earth element RL (at least one of Nd and Pr) as a major rare-earth element R, and partially includes a high coercivity portion in which a heavy rare-earth element RH (at least one element selected from the group consisting of Dy, Ho and Tb) is diffused in a relatively higher concentration than in the other portion.

Abstract: There is provided a magnetic field control method and a magnetic field generator which are capable of moving a local maximum point of magnetic field intensity on a predetermined plane easily to any given point within a predetermined area on the predetermined plane. A magnetic field generator 10 includes a pair of permanent magnets 16a, 16b provided axially of a predetermined axis A, with a gap G in between. The permanent magnet 16a is formed on a drive unit 14a in such a way that a center region 30a of a first main surface 26a is off the predetermined axis A. The permanent magnet 16b is formed on a drive unit 14b in such a way that a center region 30b of a first main surface 26b is off the predetermined axis A. The permanent magnet 16a revolves on a path R1 as a rotating member 24a rotates. The permanent magnet 16b revolves on a path R2 as a rotating member 24b rotates.

Abstract: The organozirconium composite of the present invention has a decomposition temperature which is near the respective decomposition temperatures of an organolead compound and an organotitanium compound. The raw material solution can precisely control the composition of a PZT thin film over a broad temperature range. The raw material solution is less likely to react an organolead compound even when mixed with the organolead compound. The present invention provides a raw material solution which is less likely to cause vapor phase cracking.
