Magnetic and microstructural properties of the Ti-doped Barium hexaferrite

A study of the magnetic and microstructural properties of the M-type Ti⁴⁺-doped Barium hexaferrite according to the stoichiometric formulation BaFe_{(12−(4/3)x)}Ti_xO₁₉ with x=0, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0, has been reported. The XRD and magnetic analysis show a variation of the host lattice parameters and a decrease in the values of remnant magnetization and magnetic anisotropy with Ti⁴⁺ content. The behavior of magnetic properties of materials is explained by the combined effect of the coherent rotation of the magnetic domains and the replacements of Fe³⁺ by Ti⁴⁺ ions in the octahedral and tetrahedral sites.
