Abstract

Nanosize pure and metal substituted barium hexaferrites BaMFe11O19 (M=Fe, Co, Ni and Al) were prepared through aerosol route. The particle size of as-obtained samples were found to be ∼15nm through TEM, which increases up to 100–130nm after annealing at 1000°C. The saturation magnetization for all the samples after annealing at 1000°C lies in the range 45.7–59.8emu/g. In case of Co substituted barium hexaferrite, the saturation magnetization is maximum and coercivity is minimum. Room temperature Mössbauer spectra of BaFe12O19 exhibited a doublet suggesting super paramagnetic nature, however, after annealing at 1000°C this doublet gets converted into four magnetic sextets, which are typical of bulk barium hexaferrite.
