Barium ferrite thin films with perpendicular c-axis orientation and small grain size ~about 300 Å! were successfully fabricated with careful control of sputtering conditions. The c-axis orientation of barium ferrite thin films is most sensitive to the oxygen partial pressure during deposition. All samples with oxygen gas during deposition have a random c-axis texture, as indicated by existence ...

Barium ions enter chromaffin cells via voltage-sensitive calcium channels, although the intracellular site of barium action is distinct from that of calcium. The entry of barium primarily through voltage-sensitive channels was indicated by experiments showing inhibition of 133Ba2+ uptake by blockers of voltage-dependent calcium channels. In addition, 133Ba2+ uptake was stimulated by 50 mM KCl b...

A nonlinear microwave phase shifter based on ferrite-ferroelectric composite material has been studied for the first time. The ferrite-ferroelectric composite is fabricated in the form of bilayer consisted of yttrium iron garnet and barium strontium titanate. A principle of operation of the device is based on the linear and nonlinear control of the phase shift of the hybrid spinelectromagnetic ...

The structural transformation of substituted hexagonal ferrite powders BaFetoCoTiO~s prepared by mechanical milling, was investigated as a fimction of grinding time by means of MOssbauer spectrometry and static magnetic measurements. A spin reorientation is clearly evidenced from the temperature dependence of the hyperfine parameters and of the initial magnetic permeability on the powder mechan...

Ba ferrite materials with porous microstructures were prepared from a natural cedar wood template in order to investigate new electromagnetic shielding materials. The wood templates were infiltrated with barium nitrate and iron nitrate solutions (molar ratio = 1:12) and dried to form ferrite gel, then, they were sintered in air at a temperature between 800 °C and 1400 °C. The 1-dimensional poro...

BaCo(2)Sn(4)O(11) is isotypic with R-ferrite, BaTi(2)Fe(4)O(11). The Co atoms fully occupy trigonal-bipyramidal sites () and are disordered with Sn atoms in octa-hedral sites (.2/m symmetry), as represented in the formula BaCoSn(2)(Co(0.34)Sn(0.66))(4)O(11). Ba atoms are situated in a 12-fold coordinated site ( symmetry).

The static, dynamic and attenuation properties of Co2Z barium ferrites and Co2Z composites have been studied. The results showed that both static and dynamic magnetic properties are significantly different for large particles and nanoparticles. As compared to large particles, Co2Z nanoparticles have a small saturation magnetization Ms , large coercivity Hc , small permeability μ0 and μ ′′ max, ...

The response of the structure of the M-type barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) to mechanical action through high-energy milling and its impact on the magnetic behaviour of the ferrite are investigated. Due to the ability of the (57)Fe Mössbauer spectroscopic technique to probe the environment of the Fe nuclei, a valuable insight on a local atomic scale into the mechanically induced changes in the h...
