Flaky magnetic metal particles of embodiments each have a flat surface and a magnetic metal phase containing iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and silicon (Si). An amount of Co is from 0.001 at % to 80 at % with respect to the total amount of Fe and Co. An amount of Si is from 0.001 at % to 30 at % with respect to the total amount of the magnetic metal phase. The flaky magnetic metal particles have an average thickness of from 10 nm to 100 ?m. An average value of the ratio of the average length in the flat surface with respect to a thickness in each of the flaky magnetic metal particles is from 5 to 10,000. The flaky magnetic metal particles have the difference in coercivity on the basis of direction within the flat surface.

Disclosed are an electromagnetic induction device and a method for manufacturing the same. The device comprises a magnetic cover (110) and at least one set of coils (120). The magnetic cover (110) consists of two or more magnetic units (111), and a closed magnetic flux loop can be formed within each magnetic unit (111). The magnetic units (111) are joined together to form a substantially closed integrated body having at least one cavity (112) therein, and dividing surfaces between the magnetic units (111) are disposed substantially along the magnetic flux loop without interrupting the magnetic flux loop. The coils (120) are placed in the cavity (112) formed by the magnetic cover (110), electrodes of the coils (120) are led out of the magnetic cover (110), and the magnetic flux loop in the magnetic cover (110) is formed after energization of the coils (120). The electromagnetic induction device of the present invention can substantially close coils, preventing magnetic flux leakage to a maximum extent. Further, since dividing surfaces between magnetic units are disposed along a magnetic flux loop, no air gap is generated in the magnetic flux loop, thereby effectively decreasing magnetic resistance.

The soft magnetic material of embodiments includes flattened magnetic metal particles including at least one magnetic metal selected from iron (Fe), cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni), each of the flattened magnetic metal particles having a thickness of from 10 nm to 100 m, an aspect ratio of from 5 to 10,000, and a lattice strain of from 0.01% to 10%, and being oriented with magnetic anisotropy in one direction within aligned flattened surface; and an interposed phase existing between the flattened magnetic metal particles and including at least one of oxygen (O), carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and fluorine (F).
