Abstract

Spherical magnetic iron oxide particles for a magnetic toner comprise: PA1 Fe.sup.2+ -containing iron oxide particles having an average particle diameter of 0.05 to 0.30 .mu.m, PA1 containing 1.7 to 4.5 atm % of silicon, calculated as Si, based on Fe and not more than 0.35 wt % of sulfur based on the total weight of said Fe.sup.2+ -containing iron oxide particles, and PA1 having a sphericity .phi. (.phi.=l/w) of 0.8 to 1.0, and a coercive force (Hc) and the average particle diameter (d .mu.m) which satisfy the following relationship: EQU 147-322.7.times.d.ltoreq.Hc.sub.(10 kOe) .ltoreq.207-322.7.times.d.
