Abstract
Phase purity, particle size and its distribution contributes a lot to the physical properties of M-type hexa-ferrites. These parameters are strongly influenced by the variation in synthesis parameters. In the present work, effect of synthesis parameters such as molar ratio (Fe/Sr) and volume rate of addition of precipitating agent on M-type hexa-ferrite (SrFe12O19) prepared by co-precipitation method have been investigated systematically. The molar ratio (Fe/Sr) in SrFe12O19 was varied as 12, 11, 10, 09, and 08. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that molar ratio does not affect the phase purity. X-ray diffraction analysis of the samples prepared with different volume rate of addition of precipitating agent indicated that phase purity and micro-structural properties of SrFe12O19 are greatly influenced by the above synthesis parameter. High volume rate of addition of precipitating agent resulted in high phase purity, smaller particle size, and narrow particle size distribution.
