Abstract

A series of M-Type barium hexaferrites with the general composition BaFe12-2xMoxZnxO19 were synthesized at 1100°C by a simple wet chemical mixture route. The properties of the prepared samples were examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The diffraction patterns for all samples were found to agree well with the standard pattern of BaFe12O19 hexaferrite with no extraneous diffraction peaks. The products formed as well crystallized hexagonal platelet-like particles while the EDS measurements revealed the stoichiometric cationic ratios of the prepared samples. The spectral variations elucidated by Mössbauer spectroscopy were utilized to determine the different cation preferential site occupations as a function of x. Finally, the saturation magnetizations, magnetic anisotropies, and the anisotropy fields, determined from the magnetic measurements, showed consistency with the relative subspectral Mössbauer intensities and the single ion model for the anisotropy constant.
