Abstract

This is first report on Pr–Cu double-substituted M-type Ba–Sr hexaferrites with nominal compositions Ba0.3Sr0.7−xPrxFe12.0−xCuxO19 (x = 0.00–0.35) fabricated by the solid-state reaction route. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Hysteresis graph meter were used to characterize the synthesized M-type Ba–Sr hexaferrites. XRD results show that the hexaferrites with x ≤ 0.21 exhibited single M-type phase, while the hexaferrites with x ≥ 0.28 exhibited the M-type phase and impurity phases. FE-SEM images proposed that all particles with hexagonal platelet-like shape were homogeneously dispersed. The remanence (Br) first increased with Pr–Cu content (x) from 0.00 to 0.14, and then decreased when x ≥ 0.14. The intrinsic coercivity (Hcj) and magnetic induction coercivity (Hcb) first decreased with x from 0.00 to 0.14, and then increased when x ≥ 0.14. Maximum energy product [(BH)max] reached the maximum value at x = 0.14.
