Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a sintered magnet that is an R-T-B based sintered magnet having a region having a concentration of at least one heavy rare earth element decreasing from the surface toward the inside, in which the at least one heavy rare earth element includes at least either of Tb or Dy, R includes Nd, T includes Fe, Co, and Cu, there is a grain boundary phase containing at least either of Tb or Dy and Nd between two main phase particles, and a value obtained by subtracting a half value width of a concentration distribution curve of Cu from a half value width of a concentration distribution curve of Tb or Dy in a part including the grain boundary phase is from 10 to 20 nm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A sintered magnet, wherein the sintered magnet is an R-T-B based sintered magnet having a region having a concentration of at least one heavy rare earth element decreasing from the surface toward the inside, wherein the at least one heavy rare earth element includes at least either of Tb or Dy, R includes Nd, T includes Fe, Co, and Cu, there is a grain boundary phase containing at least either of Tb or Dy and Nd between two main phase particles, and a value obtained by subtracting a half value width of a concentration distribution curve of Cu from a half value width of a concentration distribution curve of Tb or Dy in a part including the grain boundary phase is from 10 to 20 nm.
