Abstract
The present invention provides a rare earth based magnet that inhibits the high temperature demagnetization rate even when less or no heavy rare earth elements such as Dy, Tb and the like than before are used. The rare earth based magnet according to the present invention is a sintered magnet which includes RTB crystal grains as main phase and grain boundary phases between the RTB crystal grains. when evaluating the cross-sectional area distribution of the main phase crystal grains by histogram in any cross-section of the rare earth based magnet, the crystal grains with large particle size and the crystal grains with small particle size are controlled so that the cross-sectional area distribution becomes the one which respectively has at least one peak at two sides of the average value of the cross-sectional area.
