Abstract
Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) ceramics were obtained by combination of polyol-synthesized precursors subsequently consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at a low temperature (800 ∘C). X-ray powder diffraction studies showed the influence of the experimental parameters to produce a virtually single- or multiphase material. The room temperature magnetic properties exhibited interesting variety of properties, including exchange coupling (spring magnet) between hexaferrite and other magnetic phases. The saturation magnetization and coercive field, at room temperature, are in the 34–70 emu/g and 4.1–5.0 kOe ranges, respectively. The combination of strong coercive field and magnetization resulted in a maximum energy product [(BH)max] = 10.9 kJ/m3 for the sample with the highest BaFe12O19 content.
