Abstract
In the present work, composites of (x)SrFe12O19(SrM)/(1-x) Ba2Co2Fe12O22(Co2Y) [where x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4] were prepared by physical mixing method. The effect of exchange coupling between SrM and Co2Y phases on composites structural, morphological, and magnetic properties has been investigated. XRD patterns confirmed the co-existence of SrM and Co2Y phases with the presence of a secondary Co2Z phase. Smooth hysteresis loops without kink confirmed that SrM and Co2Y phases in composites are exchange-coupled and signify cooperative magnetic switching among M and Y phase spins. A linear increase in magnetization was observed with an increase in M-phase. On the other hand, a decrease in coercivity was observed due to strong intervening coupling between the phases. A single peak in the switching field distribution curve (SFD) of composites also confirm strong coupling between M and Y phases.
