A magnetic recording medium essentially composed of a substrate and a ferromagnetic thin film deposited on the surface of the substrate is provided herein. This ferromagnetic film is such as to have a minimum of 400 Oe of coercive force and composed mainly of an iron carbide. According to this construction, the magnetic characteristics are greatly improved.

A glaze resistor composition composed of magnesium silicide, molybdenum disilicide, tantalum disilicide and glass frit, and if necessary, manganese disilicide and/or aluminum oxide. Due to the use of magnesium silicide, glaze resistors having stable resistivities in a wide resistivity range can be obtained. Due to the use of manganese disilicide, the temperature coefficient of resistivity can be shifted to the positive side, and due to the use of aluminum oxide, the resistivity can be increased and made more stable. This invention also provides a method of making a glaze resistor using two heating steps, in which aluminum oxide is mixed in the starting powder mixture to be subjected to the first heating step, so as to enhance the effect of the aluminum oxide addition.

A method for detecting the presence of a reducing material in a gas phase which involves heating a gas sensor, which has, as a major part, a partially dehydrated iron hydroxide having electrodes applied thereto, to a temperature less than 500.degree. C and bringing the gas sensor in contact with the gas phase of the reducing material or a gaseous mixture containing the reducing material. The gas sensor can be easily fabricated, and when exposed to a reducing material it undergoes a rapid decrease in electric resistance.
