Morphology control of hexagonal strontium ferrite micro/nano-crystals

M-Type Barium Hexagonal Ferrite Films

Width-controlled M-type hexagonal strontium ferrite (SrFe12O19) nanoribbons with high saturation magnetization and superior coercivity synthesized by electrospinning

Width-controlled M-type hexagonal SrFe12O19 nanoribbons were synthesized for the first time via polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) sol assisted electrospinning followed by heat treatment in air, and their chemical composition, microstructure and magnetic performance were investigated. Results demonstrated that as-obtained SrFe12O19 nanoribbons were well-crystallized with high purity. Each nanoribbon wa...

Textured Growth of Strontium Ferrite Thin Films by Sputtering

Atomic scale design and control of cation distribution in hexagonal ferrite.

Using a novel alternating target laser ablation deposition technique, Mn cations were placed in specific interstitial sites of BaFe12O19 thin films as opposed to being distributed throughout the unit cell as in conventional bulk materials. The distribution of Mn cations has been confirmed experimentally and predicted theoretically. As a result of site selection, the saturation magnetization inc...

Realization of hexagonal barium ferrite thick films on Si substrates

Hexagonal barium ferrite thick films (50–200μm) have been deposited on Si and Al2O3/Si substrates using a screen printing technique. X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy and magnetometry were used to characterize and correlate the ferrite films’ microstructure and magnetic properties. The experiments indicated that an Al2O3 underlayer was effective in preventing silicon diffusion ...
