Samples of Barium Hexaferrite doped with Titanium BaFe12−xTixO19 with (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) were synthesized by the sol–gel auto-combustion technique. The powdered samples were divided into two parts, one sintered at 850 °C and another sintered 1000 °C for 1 h and samples were characterized by different experimental techniques. The XRD patterns confirmed the presence of M-type hexaferrite phase. The sizes of the crystallites were calculated by the Scherer equation, and the sizes were in the range of 27–42 nm. Using the hysteresis loops, the saturation magnetization Ms, remanence (Mr), the relative ratio (Mr/Ms), and the coercivity (Hc) were calculated. The study showed that the saturation magnetization (Ms) and remanence (Mr) decreased with increasing titanium concentration and were in the range from 44.65–17.17 emu/g and 23.1–7.7 emu/g, respectively. The coercivity (Hc) ranged between 0.583 and 4.51 (kOe). The magnetic properties of these Barium Hexaferrite doped with Titanium indicated that they could be used in the recording equipment and permanent magnets.

Background: Rare earth materials are known for its salient electrical insulation properties with high values of electrical resistivity. It is expected that the substitution of rare earth ions into spinel ferrites could significantly alter its magnetic properties. In this work, the effect of the addition of Samarium ions on the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of Ni0.5Zn0.5SmxFe2-xO4 (x=0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10) synthesized using sol-gel auto combustion technique was investigated. Methods: A series of Samarium-substituted Ni-Zn ferrite nanoparticles (Ni0.5Zn0.5SmxFe2-xO4 where x=0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10) were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion technique. Structural, morphological and magnetic properties of the samples were examined through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) measurements. Results: XRD patterns revealed single-phased samples with spinel cubic structure up to x= 0.04. The average crystallite size of the samples varied in the range of 41.8 – 85.6 nm. The prepared samples exhibited agglomerated particles with larger grain size observed in Sm-substituted Ni-Zn ferrite as compared to the unsubstituted sample. The prepared samples exhibited typical soft magnetic behavior as evidenced by the small coercivity field. The magnetic saturation, Ms values decreased as the Sm3+ concentration increases. Conclusion: The substituted Ni-Zn ferrites form agglomerated particles inching towards more uniform microstructure with each increase in Sm3+ substitution. The saturation magnetization of substituted samples decreases with the increase of samarium ion concentration. The decrease in saturation magnetization can be explained based on weak super exchange interaction between A and B sites. The difference in magnetic properties between the samples despite the slight difference in Sm3+ concentrations suggests that the properties of the NiZnFe2O4 can be ‘tuned’, depending on the present need, through the substitution of Fe3+ with rare earth ions.

The copper (Cu) substitution in barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) crystals from the sol-gel auto-combustion synthesis is demonstrated as a cost-effective pathway to achieve alterable magnetic properties. Subsequent heat treatments at 450 °C and 1050 °C result in irregularly shaped nanoparticles characterized as the M-type BaFe12O19 with the secondary phase of hematite (α-Fe2O3). Despite the mixed phase, the substantial coercivity of 2626 Oe and magnetization as high as 74.8 emu/g are obtained in this undoped ferrite. The copper (Cu) doing strongly affects morphology and magnetic properties of BaFe12−xCuxO19 (x = 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5). The majority of particles become microrods for x = 0.1 and microplates in the case of x = 0.3 and 0.5. The coercivity and magnetization tend to reduce as Cu2+ increasingly substitutes Fe3+. From these findings, magnetic properties for various applications in microwave absorbers, recording media, electrodes, and permanent magnets can be tailored by the partial substitution in hexaferrite crystals.

The BaCuxFe12-xO19 and BaAlxFe12-xO19 (x = 0.0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2) materials were prepared via sol-gel auto combustion technique. Further, the X-ray diffraction patterns suggested the formation of single phase hexagonal structure. This work is aimed to study the effect of diamagnetic and paramagnetic elements on magnetic characteristics of BaFe12O19. The results established that in the case of diamagnetic (Cu) substitution, the saturation magnetization was increased and decreased alternatively. Furthermore, it was noticed that the coercivity values of all doped samples were lower than those of undoped samples. But the replacement of Fe3+ with paramagnetic (Al) element led to a decrease in saturation magnetization and to a significant increase in the coercive field.

In the present study, a series of Cu substituted M type Barium hexagonal ferrite BaCuxFe12-xO19 (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) has been synthesized using a Sol- gel auto combustion method. The aim of the present work was to investigate the effects of Cu/Fe ratio on the crystallography and dielectric properties. The XRD studies reveal a formation of the single phase BaFe12O19 at the initial level and mixed phase of S, M and Y hexaferrite at the higher level of copper substitution. The dielectric measurements were carried out at room temperature in a frequency range of 20 Hz to 2MHz. the dielectric constant is found to decrease with the increase of frequency for all the compositions.

Barium hexaferrite nanoparticles are attractive for modern data storage and microwave devices due to their unique properties. Single phase synthesis of barium hexaferrite using sol–gel auto-combustion route was optimized by varying sintering temperature and time. X-ray diffraction confirmed single phase hexagonal crystal structure of the sample sintered at 1100[Formula: see text]C for 2 h. Crystallite size, as determined using Scherrer’s formula, was increased with the increase in sintering temperature while the porosity remained nearly unchanged. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) revealed that grain size was increased from nanometers to micrometers by rising the sintering temperature and the shape of particles was platelet-like hexagonal at 900[Formula: see text]C. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) exhibited that saturation magnetization and coercivity increased with the increase of sintering temperature. Maximum saturation magnetization and coercivity values were 36.80 emu/g and 5365 Oe, respectively, for the sample sintered at 1100[Formula: see text]C for 2 h.

Barium hexaferrite BaFe12O19 (BHF) is one of the great importance as permanent magnets, particularly for recording magnetic in microwave devices. Nanocrystalline BHF powders were prepared by sol gel auto combustion method in citric acid – metal nitrates system. Hence the mole ratios of Ba2+/Fe3+ were varied at 1:12; 1:11.5 and 1:11 and with pH of 7 in all cases using amonia solution. For final formation of nanocrystalline BHF, heating process was done at 850oC for 10 hours in all mol ratios of Ba2+/Fe3+. The nanocrystallite size was calculated from broadening X Ray Diffraction (XRD) peaks using Scherrer formula. XRD data shows that BHF of ratio 1:12 has the same diffraction pattern with the ratio of 1:11 especially at higher value of 2 θ. Diffraction pattern of BHF with the ratio of 1:11.5 was fitting in exactly to the standard searching match and the highest value of best Figure of Merit (FoM) is 90% with the crystallite size of 22 nm. The best FoM and crystallite size for ratio of 1:12 and 1: 11 are 88% and 56 nm respectively. The diffraction peaks of BHF with the ratio of 1:12 and 1:11 are in the right side from of 1:11.5 since the amount of impurity of both is higher (12%) than of BHF with the ratio of 1:11.5 (10%).

Solution–processing methods were investigated as viable alternatives to produce the polymer-bonded barium hexaferrite (BaM). BaM powders were first synthesized by using the sol-gel auto-combustion method. While the ignition period in two synthesis batches varied, the morphology of hexagonal microplates and nanorods, as well as magnetic properties, were reproduced. To prepare magnetic polymer composites, these BaM powders were then incorporated into the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) matrix with a weight ratio of 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40 by using the solution casting method. Magnetizations were linearly decreased with a reduction in ferrite loading. Compared to the BaM loose powders and pressed pellet, both remanent and saturation magnetizations were lower and gave rise to comparable values of the squareness. The squareness around 0.5 of BaM samples and their composites revealed the isotropic alignment. Interestingly, the coercivity was significantly increased from 1727–1776 Oe in loose BaM powders to 1874–2052 Oe for the BaM-ABS composites. These composites have potential to be implemented in the additive manufacturing of rare-earth-free magnets.
