    摘要: A thermoelectric element comprises a first layer of a p-type iron silicide, and a second layer of an n-type iron silicide. The first and second layers are joined together to form a pn junction therebetween. An insulating layer of an oxide is interposed between the first and second layers at portions thereof other than the pn junction. The oxide forming the insulating layer consists essentially of 38.0-50% by weight SiO.sub.2, 0.1-10.0% by weight B.sub.2 O.sub.3, and the balance of MgO and inevitable impurities. In manufacturing the thermoelectric element, one of a powder of the p-type iron silicide and a powder of the n-type iron silicide, a powder of the insulating layer-forming oxide, which may be in the form of a sheet, and the other of the powder of the p-type iron silicide and the powder of the n-type iron silicide are charged into a hot pressing mold in the mentioned order, whereby a laminated body is formed within the mold. The laminated body is hot pressed into a sintered body, which is then heated treated in the atmosphere.

    摘要: A novel composite target material that is composed of a rare earth metal and a transition metal (iron-group metal) and which is used in the formation of a thin magnetooptical recording film by sputtering is disclosed. Also disclosed is a process for producing such composite target material.The process comprises the steps of providing a rare earth metal and an iron-group transition metal as separate entities, mixing these metals without alloying, and hot-forming the mixture at a temperature lower than the eutectic point of the system of metallic components in the mixture, thereby forming an intermetallic compound at the interface between the rare earth metal and the transition metal while causing said metals to be bonded together.The target material produced by this process contains 30-50 wt % of the rare earth metal, with the balance being made of the iron-group transition metal and incidental impurities. The structure of the target material is also characterized by the presence of an intermetallic compound phase at the interface between the particles of the rare earth metal and those of the transition metal. This composite target material has sufficiently high density, high strength, high deflective strength and good resistance to thermal shock to permit rotation and inversion during sputtering procedures without cracking. Furthermore, the oxygen content of this target material is no higher than 0.3 wt %. Therefore, a perpendicular magnetization film suitable for use in magnetooptical recording can be readily formed by sputtering the target material of the present invention. As a further advantage, the film deposition rate that can be achieved with this target material is significantly fast in comparison with the conventional alloy target material.
