Abstract

In one embodiment, a permanent magnet has a composition represented by (Sm1-xRx)(FepMqCurCo1-p-q-r)z, where R is at least one element selected from Nd and Pr, M is at least one element selected from Ti, Zr and Hf, and 0.22≦p≦0.45, 0.005≦q≦0.05, 0.01 ≦r≦0.1, 0.05≦x<0.5, and 7≦z≦9. The permanent magnet includes a Th2Zn17 crystal phase as a main phase, and a ratio of diffraction peak intensity I(113) from a (113) plane of the Th2Zn17 crystal phase in powder X-ray diffraction to diffraction peak intensity I(300) from a (300) plane in powder X-ray diffraction is in a range of 0.9≦I(113)/I(300)≦1.7.
