Abstract

An investigation of the synthesis of BaFe12O19 powders by the organic acid precursor method is reported by acidic and neutral media. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) are utilized to study the effect of organic precursor type and annealing temperature on the crystal structure, crystallite size, microstructure and magnetic properties of the formed powders. The XRD analysis showed that the crystalline BaFe12O19 phase was obtained at 1200 °C for 2 h using different carboxylic acids in acidic medium. However, pure BaFe12O19 was achieved at low annealing temperature 1000 °C in neutral medium. SEM micrographs showed that the particles were strongly influenced by type of carboxylic acid and the annealing temperature. VSM study indicated that the saturation magnetization was increased with increasing annealing temperature to 1200 °C as the result of formation of single barium hexaferrites phase. High saturation magnetization (M s =66.5 emu/g) was achieved for the formed powders in neutral medium using tartaric acid as organic precursor. Wide coercivities of the formed powders (H c =259–5114 Oe) were obtained.
