Abstract

Abstract An anisotropic rare earth magnet material is provided by a sputtering technique. The material has structural and magnetic anisotropy. Its composition is represented essentially by the following formula: wherein R means at least one of rare earth metal elements of Y and the lanthanide series of La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu or a combination of Hf and at least one of the foregoing rare earth metal elements, M denotes Co or a combination of Co and at least one of Fe, Cu, Zr, Ti, Al and B, a is not greaterthan 0.05 (a ≦ 0.05), and b ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 (b = 0.1-0.5).
