Abstract
The present invention provides an oxide magnetic material, which includes a primary phase of a hexagonal ferrite containing metallic elements Ca, R, Fe and M, where M represents at least one element selected from the group including Co, Ni and Zn, and R represents at least one element selected from the group including Bi and rare earth elements including Y, with La being essentially included in R; wherein the proportions of the metallic elements Ca, R, Fe and M with respect to the total amount of the metallic elements are from 1 to 13 atomic % for Ca, from 0.05 to 10 atomic % for R, from 80 to 95 atomic % for Fe, and from 1 to 7 atomic % for M. The present invention also provides ferrite particles, a bonded magnet, a sintered magnet, a process for producing them, and a magnetic recording medium, which contain the oxide magnetic material.
