Abstract
Magnetoplumbite-type crystalline powders with SrAl 12− x Cr x O 19 composition were synthesized in the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 4.4 by two different solid state reactions in air. The limited substitution of Al by trivalent Cr is accompanied by the appearance of a sesquioxide Al 2− y Cr y O 3 solid solution and a new cubic phase with composition 3Al 2O 3 · SrCrO 4. These results are compared with those obtained in the synthesis of Sr(Fe,Cr) 12O 19 and Sr(Al,Fe) 12O 19 solid solutions. Finally, the cation distribution of Al and Cr in the system Sr(Al,Cr) 12O 19(Al,Cr) 2O 3 was obtained from X-ray diffraction profile analysis. The cationic distribution suggests that the solid solution range depends more on the crystal chemistry of the substitution than on the starting compounds used in the synthesis.
