The invention aims to provide a ferrite magnet having a high remanence and a high coercivity which are unachievable with prior art hexagonal ferrite magnets, by realizing a hexagonal ferrite whose saturation magnetization and magnetic anisotropy are both high; a ferrite magnet having a high remanence and a high coercivity as well as significantly improved temperature properties of coercivity and experiencing a minimized drop of coercivity even in a low temperature range; a ferrite magnet having a high remanence and a high coercivity using relatively coarse ferrite particles with a particle diameter in excess of 1 mu m; and a magnetic recording medium having a high remanence and thermal stability. To achieve these objects, an oxide magnetic material comprising a primary phase of ferrite with a hexagonal structure and having a composition containing A, R, Fe, and M wherein A is at least one element selected from Sr, Ba, Ca and Pb, with Sr being essentially contained in A, R is at least one element selected from Bi and rare earth elements inclusive of Y, with La being essentially contained in R, and M is Co or Co and Zn, the proportions in total of the respective elements relative to the quantity of the entire metal elements are A: 1-13 at%, R: 0.05-10 at%, Fe: 80-95 at%, and M: 0.1-5 at% is used to construct ferrite particles, sintered magnets, bonded magnets and magnetic recording media. |
