Abstract
Nanocrystalline particles of barium hexaferrite were synthesized by a solgel combustion route using nitratecitrate gels prepared from metal nitrates and citric acid solutions under various Fe/Ba molar ratios of 10 11 and 12 Sodium hydroxide was used as a pHadjusting agent The results revealed that the formation temperature of barium hexaferrite is influenced by Fe/Ba molar ratio the Fe/Ba molar ratio of 12 is more favorable For sample synthesized with a Fe/Ba molar ratio of 12 barium hexaferrite started to form at 800 °C and fully formed at 1000 °C The results also showed that the coercivity of the samples decreases as the Fe/Ba molar ratio increases from 10 to 12 whilst the saturation magnetization increases
