Abstract: Disclosed are a soft magnetic alloy and a wireless charging apparatus including the soft magnetic alloy. The soft magnetic alloy has a chemical formula expressed as Fe100-x-yCuxBy (wherein x ranges from 0.1 at % to 1.7 at % and y ranges from 2.3 at % to 9.6 at %). Without adding any expensive alloying element, only iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and boron (B) are used to obtain a nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy that has a low coercive force and a high saturation magnetic flux density. The nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy is applied to a wireless power transmitter and a wireless power receiver. Thereby, it is possible to make a shield member thin and increase a power transmission capacity. The soft magnetic alloy is easily processed into a flake form. The soft magnetic alloy processed in this way is applied to the shield member. Thereby, it is possible to increase permeability in a surface direction.

Abstract: A R-T-B based permanent magnet which not only has equivalent magnetic properties as the existing Nd—Fe—B based permanent magnet as well as light mass but also can be suitably used as a magnet for field system of a permanent magnet synchronous rotating machine.

A ratio of a residual magnetic flux density and a saturation magnetic flux density of the magnetic material is greater in a direction that the material is magnetized than in a direction the material is not magnetized.

Abstract: A rare-earth element including a magnet body containing a rare-earth element, and a protective layer formed on a surface of the magnet body. The protective layer may include a first layer covering the magnet body and containing a rare-earth element, and a second layer covering the first layer and containing substantially no rare-earth element. Another protective layer in accordance may include an inner protective layer and an outer protective layer successively from the magnet body side. The outer protective layer is any of an oxide layer, a resin layer, a metal salt layer, and a layer containing an organic-inorganic hybrid compound.

Abstract: This sintered R-T-B based rare-earth magnet includes: R2Fe14B type compound crystal grains, including a light rare-earth element RL (which includes at least one of Nd and Pr) as a major rare-earth element R, as main phases; and a heavy rare-earth element RH (which includes at least one of Dy and Tb). Before its surface region is removed, the sintered R-T-B based rare-earth magnet has no layer including the rare-earth element R at a high concentration in that surface region. The sintered R-T-B based rare-earth magnet has a portion in which coercivity decreases gradually from its surface region toward its core portion. The difference in the amount of TRE between a portion of the sintered R-T-B based rare-earth magnet that reaches a depth of 500 ?m as measured from its surface region toward its core portion and the core portion of the sintered R-T-B based rare-earth magnet is 0.1 through 1.0.
