Abstract

A magnetic material is expressed by a composition formula: (R 1-x Z x ) a M b T c , and includes a main phase having a ThMn 12 crystal structure. In the ThMn 12 crystal structure, when an amount of the element Z occupying 2a site is Z 2a atomic percent, an amount of the element Z occupying 8i site is Z 8i atomic percent, an amount of the element Z occupying 8j site is Z 8j atomic percent, and an amount of the element Z occupying 8f site is Z 8f atomic percent, Z 2a , Z 8i , Z 8j , and Z 8f satisfy (Z 8i +Z 8j +Z 8f )/(Z 2a +Z 8i +Z 8j +Z 8f )<0.1.
