PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED : To provide a softmagnetic material having a satisfactory grindability and a high saturation magnetization, and to provide a electromagnetic wave absorbing material using it.
SOLUTION : The softmagnetic material is expressed by a composition formula RxXyAzM100-x-y-z(The R is at least one kind of element selected from a rare earth element including Y. The X is at least one kind of element selected from Ti, V, Zr, Nb, Hf, or Ta. The A is at least one kind of element selected from B, C, or Si. The M is at least one kind of element selected from Fe or Co. The x, y, and z are respectively in the range of 0
