Abstract
Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) nanoparticles were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion route. Prepared samples were sintered at 950 and 1100 °C with Fe3+/Ba2+ = 12 and 20 mol ratio. The formation mechanism of barium hexaferrite was investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses. In addition, the effect of temperature and Fe3+/Ba2+ mole ratio on BaFe12O19 formation and magnetic properties, and the effect of increasing the Fe3+/Ba2+ upon gel ignition and subsequent phase development were investigated. Finally the magnetic behavior was monitored with VSM. DSC studies showed that pure barium hexaferrite phase was formed from maghemite (γ-Fe2O3), without the formation of hematite (α-Fe2O3). Also, XRD results confirmed the formation of barium hexaferrite phase in non stoichiometric Fe/Ba ratio. VSM results showed that the saturation magnetization was decreased and coercivity increased with decreasing the grain size.
