The sintered magnet includes a grain boundary region T1, a shell layer region T2 and an R.sub.2Fe.sub.14B grain region T3; at 10 μm to 60 μm from a surface of the sintered magnet toward a center thereof, an area ratio of the shell layer region T2 to the R.sub.2Fe.sub.14B grain region T3 is 0.1 to 0.3, and a thickness of the shell layer region T2 is 0.5 μm to 1.2 μm; and an average coating percent of the shell layer region T2 on the R.sub.2Fe.sub.14B grain region T3 is 80% or more. In the present invention, by optimizing a preparation process and a microstructure of a traditional rare earth permanent magnet, diffusion efficiency of heavy rare earth in the magnet is improved, such that coercivity of the magnet is greatly improved, and manufacturing cost is reduced.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a new magnetic material which exhibits high magnetic stability and excellent oxidation resistance and which can achieve both significantly higher saturation magnetization and lower coercive force than a conventional ferrite-based magnetic material by using a magnetic material obtained by nanodispersing α-(Fe,M) phases and M component-enriched phases (here, the M component is at least one component selected from among Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Cu, Zn and Si); and a method for producing same. This magnetic material powder exhibits high moldability, and is such that α-(Fe, M) phases and M-enriched phases are nanodispersed by chemically reducing M-ferrite nanoparticles, which are obtained by means of wet synthesis, in hydrogen and utilizing phase separation by means of a disproportionation reaction while simultaneously carrying out grain growth. Furthermore, a solid magnetic material is obtained by sintering this powder.

A magnetic sheet is used as a noise reduction member for a cable. The magnetic sheet has a width of 5 mm to 15 mm. The magnetic sheet has a magnetic layer and a protective layer. The magnetic layer comprises soft-magnetic particles and a binder. Each of the soft-magnetic particles has a flat shape. A content of the soft-magnetic particles in the magnetic layer is from 35 vol % to 40 vol % with respect to the overall volume of the magnetic layer. The binder is made of polyacrylic rubber or of mixture of polyacrylic rubber and nitrile rubber. The binder binds the soft-magnetic particles to each other. A content of the binder in the magnetic layer is from 35 vol % to 65 vol % with respect to the overall volume of the magnetic layer. The protective layer reinforces the magnetic layer.
