    α-FeOOH particles have been produced by the aging of amorphous ferric oxyhydroxide colloidal solution. The effects of addition of ions: OH-, Cl-, CO32-, PO43- and Co2+, on the process of formation and morphology of α-FeOOH particles have been clarified.
    (1) The mechanism of formation of α-FeOOH crystal particles is considered as the dissolution-recrystallization process. The formation reaction of a-FeOOH crystal particles from the amorphous ferric oxyhydroxide can be expressed by a rate equation of the first order reaction.
    (2) Since OH- and Cl- ions are selectively adsorptive to the side face parallel to c axis of α-FeOOH particles, the crystal growth of the side face is depressed.
    (3) Since CO32- ion is not selectively adsorptive to the specific crystal plane, but is adsorbed on each plane of the a, b and c crystal planes homogeneously, the crystal growth of those planes is depressed. The recrystallization process of Fe(OH)4- ion is shifted from the surface reaction control to the diffusion control with increasing CO32- and Cl- ion concentrations.
    (4) The asterisk type particles were produced in the limited narrow region of PO43- ion concentration. An asterisk type particle is heterogeneously junctioned particle of an α-Fe2O3 and several α-FeOOH crystals.

    Most carrier cores for electrophotography are made from Cu-Zn or Ni-Zn ferrites. But in recent years, environmental experts are now warning that carriers, when placed in waste disposal sites after use, may be contaminating underground water. The experts explain that the nickel, copper, zinc and other hazardous heavy-metal ions disperse from the thrown-away soft ferrite carriers into the soil at waste disposal sites when exposed to acid rain; even if a waste disposal site has a concrete casing that seals itself off from the surrounding soil, heavy-metal ions can infiltrate into underground drinking water through cracks in the concrete. As a result, the use of these materials has been restricted by environmental regulations in many countries. In answer, we have succeeded in developing clean carrier cores that meet the environmental regulations of all countries. These clean carriers can be divided into magnetite and clean ferrites, both of which are produced by FDK's original production techniques. In particular, clean ferrites are new composite magnetic materials that can be designed to suit our customers' specific needs. We are hopeful that clean ferrites will become the main material of electrophotographic carrier cores in the near future.

    In 1980, multilayer chip inductors were developed by thick film and co-firing technologies using low temperature sintered NiCuZn ferrites and Ag. The NiCuZn ferrites have been known as the only ones that can be sintered below the melting point of Ag, and have been used as the material of multilayer ferrite chip components. Since NiCuZn ferrites have a large magnetostriction, these ferrites are comparatively sensitive against stress, and therefore magnetic properties are easily deteriorated or changed by the stress. In this study, therefore, MgCuZn ferrites are chosen as a useful material for the multilayer ferrite chip components, because the magnetostriction (λ ?? ) of these ferrites is normally less than that of NiCuZn ferrites. MgCuZn ferrites, however, is generally sintered over 1000°C, so the investigations to sinter MgCuZn ferrites at the low temperature were performed.

    It was reported that electromagnetic properties of the multilayer chip ferrite components are influenced by the internal stresses and the diffusion of Ag buried in ferrite. As the magnetostriction of MgCuZn ferrites is lower than that of NiCuZn ferrites, it was expected that the multilayer chip inductor using MgCuZn ferrite would obtain higher magnetic properties than that using NiCuZn ferrite. Therefore MgCuZn ferrites with the low sintering temperature have been developed as the materials for the multilayer chip ferrite components. Under a compressive stress, the change in permeability of low temperature sintering MgCuZn ferrite was lower than that of low temperature sintering NiCuZn ferrite. Moreover, one might expected that the multilayer chip inductor using low temperature sintering MgCuZn ferrite would show a higher inductance than the chip using low temperature sintering NiCuZn ferrite. It is thought that low temperature sintering MgCuZn ferrite has the high potentialities of useful materials in the multilayer chip ferrite components, not only the multilayer chip inductors but also the multilayer LC and EMI chip filter components.

    As is known, the magnetic properties of ferrites are liable to be influenced by external stress. In this paper we describe our study of the effects of chemical composition and microstructure on the stress sensitivity of initial permeability of NiMgCuZn ferrites. When the external stress is applied to the ferrites, the reducing of the initial permeability due to the deficiency of Fe2O3 is observed. Furthermore, a finely dispersed grain size in microcrystalline structure is highly effective in stabilizing of initial permeability. As the compressive stress is applied parallel to the magnetic field, the maximum initial permeability of NiCuZn ferrite can be observed at 4 MPa. On the other hand, that of MgCuZn ferrite is observed at around 0 MPa. It seems possible to stabilize the initial permeability against the external stress by a further increase in composition ratio of NiO/(NiO + MgO).

    The bending strength of sintered ferrites has been studied for MgCuZn-, NiCuZn-, and MnZn-ferrites. It has been found that residual carbon content affects bending strength of these sintered ferrites. The sintered ferrites containing much residual carbon lower the bending strength. It is considered that PVA, which is added when the ferrite powder is granulated, remains as residual carbon in sintered ferrite after sintering. Control of the residual carbon content of sintered ferrite is one of the most important factors for obtaining high performance ferrite.

    Mn content dependence on the resistivity and on the reliability of NiCuZn ferrites were investigated to obtain highly reliable NiCuZn ferrites for multilayer chip components. The resistivity drastically increased by Mn addition and the obtained high resistivity was maintained even at high temperature. From the result of complex impedance analysis, it was found that the increase of resistivity might be controlled by the intra-grain resistivity. The result of high temperature life test indicated that Mn addition can be improved on the reliability of NiCuZn ferrites.

    Single phase of magnetite and nickelous ions substituted magnetite were respectively synthesized by bubbling oxygen into the ferrous and nickelous hydroxide suspension below 60°C. Single phase of magnetite was obtained at 20°C by setting the oxygen bubbling rate to 50 cm3min-1. The single phase of nickelous ions substituted magnetite (molar ratio of Ni-to-Fe =1: 9) was obtained by oxidation of the reaction solution under oxygen flow rate = 10cm3min-1 at 20°C. Because of the high solubility of oxygen, a low oxygen bubbling rate was necessary for the synthesis of spinel ferrite. The effect of addition of nickelous ions in the reaction solution on the formation of spinel phase was investigated. The formation of nickelous ions substituted magnetite was enhanced with a decrease in the oxygen bubbling rate. Nickelous ions inhibited the dissolution of hydroxide precipitate and forced the formation of δ-FeO(OH)-like phase.

    A microstructure of YIG sintered ferrites are examined for the starting contents of Fe2O3 for its fabrications. For the higher Fe2O3 content in YIG single-phase range, the densification starts at the lower temperatures, then the grain growth is accelerated at high temperatures. In air atmosphere, it can occur at the lower temperatures, as compared with in oxygen atmosphere. As a result, many pores can be observed in YIG ferrites with high Fe2O3 contents sintered in air atmosphere. Further a small amount of Fe2+ ions is detected in sintered YIG ferrites, that is slightly large for the higher Fe2O3 content, or/and the lower oxygen partial pressure or/and the longer sintering time. Eventually the grain growth behavior of YIG ferrites can be considered to be closely related to the formation of ferrous ions in them.

    Sr-ferrite sintered magnets were prepared by the spark plasma sintering method. This method brought the densification of Sr-ferrite at relatively low processing temperature and a remarkable short processing time. From the comparison of the magnetic properties of Sr-ferrite magnets produced by spark plasma sintering method with those by the usual ceramics method, a larger magnetization and a larger coercivity were easily and simultaneously obtained in the spark plasma sintering process. It was likely that such improvement in magnetic properties might be attributed to the densification with effective suppression of the ferrite grain growth by the spark plasma sintering method.

    We have prepared high-quality epitaxial films of SrFeO3 by the pulsed laser deposition and a subsequent ozone oxidation. Mossbauer spectroscopy and resistance measurements revealed the good oxygen stoichiometry of the films. The resistivity of 500 Å-thick SrFeO3(001) film grown on the LSAT(001) substrate was by a factor of 4 lower than that of polycrystalline sample treated under high oxygen pressure of 500 atm. A positive sign of the Hall coefficient in the paramagnetic temperature range strongly supports the picture that the conduction carriers are oxygen holes. The temperature dependence of the resistivity showed a change of the curvature at around 110K, corresponding to the phase transition from the paramagnetic state to the screw-spin type antiferromagnetic one.

    The objective of this study is mainly to elucidate the effect of sulfuric acid corrosion on DC/AC magnetic properties of 434L-type PM stainless steels with Si of 1 and 2 wt%. DC/AC magnetic measurements were experimentally carried out before and after the boiling test in 5% of sulfuric acid, together with the radial crushing strength test. Finally, these data were numerated in terms of degradation ratio (ΔX/X).
    The result obtained were summarized as follows:
    (1) As for sintered and HIPed materials, corrosive weight loss (ΔW) wholly decreased with the rise of sintered density (ρ) except for the passivative region of p=7-7.5 Mg/m3, though there is a little difference of ΔW in the addition of Si 1 to 2wt%.
    (2) DC magnetic properties, especially magnetic induction (B) was linearly degraded with the rise of ΔW, where ΔB/B was extrapolated to nearly zero when satisfying ΔW=0.
    (3) As an example experiment of maximum permeability (μm), Δμm/μm was extensively scattered in the region of 0.1-0.3 though μm almost bears no correlation to ΔW.
    (4) The fraction of specific permeability (μa), typical of AC magnetic properties, Δμa/μa also had more extensively scattered at higher frequency -100 kHz.
    (5) Radially crushed strength (σ) shows the degradation ratio of as much as 0.6 regardless of weight loss, probably because of being sensitive to surface conditions.

    Observation was made in this study with the change of the magnetization using earthworms as specimen animals for the test. Therefore an earthworm which was dehydrated to be cut down into 3 portions, i.e. the head, body, and tail was measured by VSM. It is revealed from this observation that very little magnetization was found in the head, and the values of the magnetization are made greater in the order of the body and tail. The magnetite (Fe3O4) however taken up hereby was 1g/m2-50g/m2 in amount, respectively. Furthermore by keeping the magnetite in the individual containers, the behavior of the earthworms dependent on whether the magnetite is in existence or not was observed.
    Meanwhile with the earthworms fed by the earth baits having the magnetization of 0.020 T and 0.033 T, the values of the magnetization of such earthworms are greater than those of the earthworms fed by the normal baits with respect to either portion of the head, body, and tails. Furthermore with the earthworms dropping at that time, the value of the magnetization is considerably great. This might stem from the reason that the earthworms themselves magnetization values are closely related with the magnetization of the soil. Meanwhile measurement of the pH values made it clear that the earth baits and droppings were alkaline, and it is made plain from this that as the magnetization value was made greater, an increasing tendency was noted with the alkalinity.
