Abstract
An e-type iron-based oxide magnetic particle powder has narrow particle size distribution and has a low content of fine particles which do not contribute to magnetic recording characteristics. As a result, a narrow coercive force distribution is achieved and the powder is suitable for increasing recording density of a magnetic recording medium. The powder containing substituting metal elements can be obtained by: adding an alkali to an aqueous solution containing trivalent iron ions and ions of the metals for partially substituting Fe sites to neutralize the aqueous solution to a pH of 1.5 to 2.5; then adding a hydroxycarboxylic acid; further adding the alkali to neutralize the aqueous solution to a pH of 8.0 to 9.0; washing with water a precipitation of an iron oxyhydroxide containing the substituting metal elements produced; and coating the iron oxyhydroxide containing the substituting metal elements with a silicon oxide and heating the resultant.
