Abstract

Remarkable electrical properties in the hard magnetic materials M hexaferrites have been reported in recent years. To evidence these properties, synthesis processes involving heat treatments at high temperatures (1300 °C) in an oxygen atmosphere have usually been necessary. In this work, using the chemical coprecipitation route, SrFe12O19 hexaferrite powders were synthesized with different Sr/Fe stoichiometric ratios (1/12, 1/11, 1/10.8). These powders were thermally treated between 830 and 1005 °C in air. In correspondence with the nanometric particle sizes of the synthesized powders, high values of saturation magnetization, Ms (~ 72 emu g−1), and a maximum coercive field, iHc of 5.9 kOe, were obtained for SrM 1/10.8. The samples with a ratio of 1/10.8 treated at 1005 °C for 2 h in air did not reveal spurious phases, so electrical loops at low fields were performed, which showed an incipient electrical ordering. To favor this aspect, the powders were reheated at 1100 °C for 2 h in air. The polarization vs electrical field curves showed remanent polarization and coercivity values comparable to those previously reported for heat treatments at more elevated temperatures in the presence of oxygen.
