Abstract

Barium hexaferrite (BaFe{sub 12}O{sub 19}) particles have been prepared by the decomposition of an organometallic salt. The properties of the ferrite particles have been investigated by x-ray diffractometry, Moessbauer spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and magnetic measurements. The size of the particles produced lie between 0.1 and 0.5 {mu}m. To form the hexaferrite the decomposition product must be heated to > 620{degree}C. Typical values of the saturation magnetization, coercivity, and remanence ratio of the hexaferrite particles are 333 kA{center dot}m{sup {minus}1} (63 emu/g{sup {minus}1}), 320 kA{center dot}m{sup {minus}1} (4 kOe), and 0.49, respectively.
