Abstract
A number of solid solutions based on BaFe12-xTixO19 M-type barium hexaferrite doped with titanium cations up to x = 2.00 were obtained
using conventional ceramic technology. The phase composition, crystal
structure and unit cell parameters were refined by the Rietveld method using powder X-ray diffraction data up to T = 900 K. It was found that
all the compositions have a magnetoplumbite structure satisfactorily
described by P6(3)/mmc space group (No. 194). With increasing
temperature and doping concentration, the unit cell parameters increase
almost monotonically. The minimum volume of V similar to 696.72 angstrom(3) was determined for the composition with x = 1.00 at T = 100
K, while the maximum value of V similar to 714.00 angstrom(3) is observed for the composition with x = 2.00 at T = 900 K. The mechanism
of occupation nonequivalent crystallographic positions with titanium
cations is established. The spin-glass component of the magnetic phase
state is fixed. The T-dif temperature of the difference between the
ZFC-FC curves decreases with an increase in the concentration of
titanium cations and the magnetic field from similar to 237.2 K to
similar to 44.5 K, while the T-inf inflection temperature of the ZFC
curve increases from similar to 21.0 K to similar to 23.8 K. With an
increase in the doping concentration, both the D-av average and D-max
maximum clusters grow up to similar to 100 nm. As the magnetic field
increases above the critical value, the spin-glass component disappears.
For compositions with x > 1.00, the magnetization is not saturated in
fields up to 6 T. Along with the formation of the spin-glass component,
doping with titanium cations for barium hexaferrite lowers the T-C Curie
temperature down to T similar to 600 K. The M-s spontaneous and M-r
remanent magnetizations, as well as the B-c coercivity, decrease with
increasing doping concentration almost monotonically, while the latter has an inflection point at x = 1.00. The minimum values of spontaneous
and remanent magnetization, as well as coercivity, are observed for the composition with x = 2.00 and amount to M-s similar to 17.7 emu/g, M-r
similar to 1.9 emu/g, and B-c similar to 3.9 x 10(-3) T, respectively.
An interpretation of the magnetic state of the doped BaFe12-xTixO19
barium hexaferrite is given taking into account the mechanism of
occupation nonequivalent crystallographic positions with titanium
cations. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
