The amounts of the components of the two groups in the solid soln. are given by the mathematical equation: ((j) sigma (i = 1)) xi multiplied by Tci = TcM; where Xi = molar fraction of the 'i'th component; Tci = Curie point of the 'i'th component; and TcM = Curie point of the solid soln. (50 - 100 deg.C). USE - E.g. as a printing roller surface layer for information storage in electrostatic printing processes. ADVANTAGE - The material has high remanent polarisation combined with appearance of surface charges, easy polarisability esp. at 50 Hz (Pr is greater than 13muC / cm2 at 50 Hz), an almost rectangular hysteresis loop, a h igh insulation resistance of more than 1010 ohm cm, low variation of coupling factor and a coercive field strength of less than 200 V / mm.de608666620patent1995-19521187
