Abstract
Hexagonal ultradispersed ferrites were obtained in a high energy planetary mill by mechanochemical treatment. Their structural characteristics — average size and internal stress — were studied. Fundamental magnetic characteristics — saturation magnetization and effective fields of crystal anisotropy — were examined in pulse magnetic fields with the law of approach to saturation, as well as by ferromagnetic resonance technique in the 26–53 GHz frequency range. It was demonstrated that size reduction of powders to a few tens of nanometers influenced significantly the effective anisotropy field. A model accounting for anisotropy contribution from the disturbed subsurface layer and magnetoelastic interactions was suggested. Mechanical activation was shown to be an alternative to chemical substitution for magnetic anisotropy control.
