  • Patent number: 6569346
    Abstract: A ferrite with a high permeability and a high dielectric constant is introduced. Raw material powders, such as TiO2, Fe2O3 and the oxide of Mn, Ni, Cu, Mg, Li or Zn is prepared and combined in the proportion Tix(MFe2O4+2x/y)y, where x+y=1 and 0<×<1. M is any one of a mixture of metals selected from Mn, Ni, Cu, and Zn. The ratio between x and y can be adjusted according to practical needs to obtain ferrites with different permeabilities and dielectric constants. The ferrite can simultaneously be a magnetic material and a dielectric material in an electronic element. This can avoid the possible drawbacks due to sintering of two different materials in the prior art.

The object is attained by a hexagonal ferrite magnet comprising A, R, and Fe, wherein A represents at least one element selected from among Sr, Ba, and Ca, and R represents an element capable of assuming a valence of +3 or +4 and having an ionic radius of at least 1.00 angstrom, and n/N is up to 0.35 provided that N is the total number of crystal grains and n is the number of crystal grains having stacking faults.

  • Patent number: 6217790
    Abstract: A BALUN transformer core material contains a Z-type hexagonal system ferrite having an in-plane anisotropy and a high magnetic permeability and such a high resonance frequency as to be in excess of a Snake's limiting line, and therefore, in the BALUN transformer core material, the frequency properties of the magnetic permeability are extremely good. A BALUN transformer core obtained by pressing and sintering this BALUN transformer core material has a high initial magnetic permeability and specific resistance. Moreover, a BALUN transformer obtained by applying a winding to the BALUN transformer core is provided with superior properties which are not poorer as compared with a BALUN transformer constituted of a conventional spinel ferrite, and it is a BALUN transformer having high properties which can be used in a high-frequency band of 300 MHz or more.

  • Patent number: 6210598
    Abstract: A Mn—Zn ferrite having large electrical resistance, which can withstand use in high frequency region exceeding 1 MHz, is provided. The Mn—Zn ferrite comprises the following basic components: 44.0 to 50.0 mol % Fe2O3, 4.0 to 26.5 mol % ZnO, 0.1 to 8.0 mol % at least one member selected from the group consisting of TiO2 and SnO2, and the remainder being MnO. By the addition of TiO2 and SnO2, even if the material is sintered in air, electrical resistance of 103 times that of the conventional Mn—Zn ferrite can be obtained, and high initial permeability of 300 to 400 as estimated can be secured even at high frequency of 5 MHz.

  • Patent number: 6210596
    Abstract: A magnetic ceramic composition containing ferrite serving as a primary component and a sintering aid. The composition can be sintered at low temperature. The sintering aid contains about 2-45 mol % Li2O; about 5-40 mol % RO, with R being at least one of Ba, Sr, Ca, and Mg; and about 30-70 mol % (Ti, Si)O2 with SiO2 accounting for at least about 15 mol %. The resultant composition provides inductor elements in which migration of inner conductors is suppressed, and insulation deterioration and increase of direct-current resistance is restrained.

  • Patent number: 6200493
    Abstract: There is disclosed an MnMgCuZn ferrite material which contains ranges of 46.5 to 50.4 mol % of iron oxide, 10.5 to 22.0 mol % of magnesium oxide, 22.5 to 25.0 mol % of zinc oxide, 6.0 to 16.0 mol % of copper oxide, and 0.1 to 3.5 mol % of manganese oxide. Advantages of an MnMgCuZn ferrite material that resistivity is relatively high and material cost is low are utilized to realize a superior MnMgCuZn ferrite material which is much smaller in magnetic loss than conventional materials of the same series and which has a sufficient saturated magnetic flux density.
