Abstract

Barium Hexagonal ferrite (BaFe12O19) was synthesized by a two step process, first by high-energy ball milling and then sintering the milled powder subsequently at 950°C. The phase formation and morphology studies were carried out using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy (HRSEM) respectively. XRD results clearly show the phase purity and the good crystalline nature of BaFe12O19. The mean particle size was found to be 80 nm from the SEM image. The magnetic properties such as saturation magnetization and coercive field were calculated from the magnetization curve, which was obtained using Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). A possible relation between the magnetic hysteresis curve and the microstructure of the sintered sample has been investigated.
