Abstract
A novel composed W-type hexaferrite Ba1−x La x Co2Fe16O27 was rapidly synthesized via a sol–gel self-combustion reaction. The effects of lanthanum ions on the oxidation state of iron ions and cobalt ions in hexaferrite were explored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The changes of the Fe 2p X-ray absorption spectra indicated that the nonequivalent substitution can lead to the transition Fe3+→ Fe2+ in Ba1−x La x Co2Fe16O27. However, the oxidation state of cobalt ions was maintained as Co2+. Moreover, the effects of La content on the phase composition, structural parameters, morphology, and static magnetic properties were also investigated in detail by using the X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results indicated that the structural parameters decreased regularly with increasing the La content, and the magnetic properties were enhanced after substitution, which is beneficial for their application in various electrical devices employed for industrial and military applications.
