Abstract From the Canadian patent

This invention provides a ferromagnetic material Fe60M x N y where M is at least one element selected from Al, Ga In, and T1, N is at least one element selected from P As, Sb and Bi, x has a , range of 1 ~ x ~ 39 and x + y = 40 and excluding Fe60Ga x AS y. A preferred ferromagnetic material is Fe60Ga x As y preferably , when x has a range of 3 ~ x ~ 37 more prefer-, ably when x has a range of 20 ~ x ~ 37 and even more preferably when x has a range of 30 < x ~ 37. Typically, ferromagnetic materials of this type can be homogenised by annealing or melt spinning. Melt spun Fe60Ga x As y can show Curie Temperatures (T c) of about 470 °C and saturation magnetisations of about 89 emu/g. …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 5, 1991 and granted August 21, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 5, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 5, 2013.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
