Abstract
Barium ferrite has been prepared by a novel non-conventional preparation method known as the “liquid mix” technique which involves the preparation of citrates of the metals concerned. The decomposition of the citrates indicated a gradual transition from an amorphous material to a crystalline phase leading to the formation of barium ferrite at 600° C as indicated by the X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer measurements. Submicrometre-sized particles of the ferrite could be obtained directly on decomposition of the citrates, thus avoiding the milling or grinding operations normally employed to reduce the particles to the size required for obtaining good magnetic properties. The best properties (coercivity and remanence) were obtained for the ferrite sintered around 990° C.
