Effect of the neodymium doping on the magnetic and structural properties of the Sr-hexaferrite obtained by the Pechini method

In this work, neodymium (Nd3+) doped strontium hexaferrite was obtained using the sol–gel based Pechini method. The cation distribution modified by doping with different amounts of Nd3+ ions when 0.0 ? x 0.4 according to chemical expression Sr1-xNdxFe12O19 powders were sintered at 1100 °C for 1 h. influence analyzed, and magnetic structural properties have been associated fabrication crystalline phases, structure, particle morphology samples determined X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission microscopy. addition, measured room temperature a vibrating sample magnetometer an applied field up 20 kOe. Moreover, magnetization coercivity values are influenced content. results showed that sol-gel method allows limited solubility on structure.
