We identify contributions to the valence band of the nanosized BaFe12−2xCoxTixO19 barium ferrite particles, from the cobalt and titanium dopants. Resonant photoemission results show that cobalt and titanium dopants strongly hybridize with the barium ferrite matrix. Fano resonances are identifi ed in the valence band region, at the Ba (5s), Ti (3p) and Co (3p) thresholds, and there are signifi c...

Recent studies of ceramics of formula Ba2LnFeNb4O15 (Ln = rare earth) with the “tetragonal tungsten bronze” (TTB) structure have correlated their room temperature multiferroics properties to the occurrence of barium ferrite parasitic phases. This work presents the elaboration of Ba2LaFeNb4O15 and Ba2EuFeNb4O15 composite samples with an excess of hematite in the TTB nominal composition. The infl...

Ferromagnetic nanomaterials are of particular interest, because at nanoscale a crystallite can exhibit a single magnetic domain. These nanomaterials therefore exhibit different magnetic properties as compared to bulk. Recently, barium ferrite has gained importance due to its potential use in magnetic recording and in microwave devices. Barium ferrite nanoparticles are prepared by the citrate pr...

Hexagonal barium ferrite thick films (50–200μm) have been deposited on Si and Al2O3/Si substrates using a screen printing technique. X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy and magnetometry were used to characterize and correlate the ferrite films’ microstructure and magnetic properties. The experiments indicated that an Al2O3 underlayer was effective in preventing silicon diffusion ...

The effects of stoichiometry factor on the magnetic and structural properties of perpendicular barium ferrite thin films with composition of BaO (Fe2O3) were systematically investigated. Within the range 2 2 6, the -axis for barium ferrite thin films can be oriented perpendicularly by the use of Pt underlayer and with optimized processing conditions. Perpendicular -axis orientation becomes wors...

Barium ferrite thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy have been prepared on heated (001) sapphire substrates by laser ablation deposition in an oxygen atmosphere using a KrF excimer laser. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal highly oriented films of the magnetoplumbite phase with a c-axis angular spread of 1.8”. Scanning electron micrographs reveal that these films are polycrystalline ...

Magnetic properties of nanocomposite materials obtained by dispersing barium ferrite nanoparticles within polystyrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, in the temperature range, 300 to 500 K are reported. The temperature dependence of the magnetization at saturation, averaged uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and coercive field of thick films are analyzed. A "matrix effect" was noticed w...
