Abstract

AbstractPbFe11CrO19 polycrystalline samples were prepared by the chemical coprecipitation method. X‐ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy confirm the formation of the M‐type hexagonal structure. Time dependence of the magnetization was recorded on the demagnetization curve of the hysteresis loop. It is well described by a simple logarithmic law but also non‐logarithmic behavior was detected. A two‐peak dependence of the viscosity coefficient S with the applied field was encountered. Considering reversible susceptibility measurements and a M(H) curve at constant dM/dt in the irreversible susceptibility determination, the calculated activation volume as a function of the applied field shows two well defined zones. The zones observed in the activation volumes are related to the two local maxima that the total susceptibility exhibits. It points to the fact that the viscosity study is sensible enough to characterize this system, encountering two apparent activation volumes. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
