Abstract: A method of producing a single crystal of the composition M3NbGa3Si2O14 (where M is an alkaline earth metal) comprising growing in a lattice direction inclined at an angle of 50.8 to 90 degrees from a [001] axis. The single crystal obtained in this way may be suitably used as a component of a resonator, filter, or other various piezoelectric elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing multi-purpose magnetized and sintered ceramics, comprising the steps of adding water to a mixture of Maek-Ban Stone and soft sericite, stirring and maturing at a room temperature, sintering, and irradiating with a magnetic field. The ceramics obtained by the present invention produce various effects such as keeping food fresh, deodorization and purification.

Abstract: Since the radio wave absorbent of the present invention has the main component of a magnesium-zinc system ferrite material containing 45 to 50 mol % of iron oxide, 7 to 19.7 mol % of magnesium oxide, 24 to 28.5 mol % of zinc oxide, 4 to 16 mol % of copper oxide, and 0.1 to 6 mol % of manganese oxide, a matching thickness is less than 8 mm, and the total weight of the radio wave absorbent for use in the inner wall of a radio wave dark room or the outer wall of a building or the like is remarkably reduced as compared with the radio wave absorbent obtained by sintering the conventional magnesium-zinc system ferrite material. Moreover, since the radio wave absorbent can be obtained by sintering the material at a relatively low sintering temperature of about 950 to 1150° C., the manufacture cost can be reduced relative to the radio wave absorbent obtained by sintering the conventional nickel-zinc system ferrite material.

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.

Abstract: Methods of preparing ferrite powders for use in microwave elements such as isolators, circulators, phase shifters and transmission line elements. In one method separate precipitations of metal dicarboxylate salts such as oxalates or malonates are mixed with a ferrous dicarboxylate. This is followed by mixing and calcining of the precipitated dicarboxylates to form the ferrite powder. In another method metal acetates in a solution of concentrated acetic acidare mixed with iron powder to form a solution which is mixed with malonic acid. The resulting mixed metal malonates are processed into a powder which is calcined to obtain the ferrite. To form a lithium ferrite, lithium carbonate is added to prepared powders prior to the calcining step.
