Abstract

Nano crystalline barium hexaferrite, BaFe 12 O 19, were synthesized from mixture of barium acetate and iron oxide by conventional mixed oxide ceramic method. The mixture of precursors together with a 3wt% salt-catalyst (ammonium and sodium chlorides) was intensively milled by high energy ball mill for 10 hr. The influence of addition of catalyst on the synthesis process has been studied by XRD, SEM, DTA/TG and TEM techniques. Analysis of the XRD patterns indicates that salt-catalysts can strongly alter the morphology and phase composition of ball milled powder particles. Sample with 3wt% NH 4 Cl after milling for 10 hr and annealing at 900°C for 1 hr exhibited single phase barium hexaferrite with mean crystallite size of 20 nm.
