Abstract

Co-Ti substituted M-type barium hexaferrite BaFe12-2xCoxTixO19 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) thick films were prepared by screen printing method. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of single phase BaFe12O19 (BaM). The preferential site occupation of Co2+ and Ti4+ ion for Fe3+ ion at five different crystallographic sites (12k, 4f1, 4f2, 2a, and 2b) was measured by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The analyses showed Co-Ti ions preferentially occupy 2b and 4f2 sites which were responsible for drastic decrease in magnetocrystalline anisotropy field (Ha). Magnetization (M) value found to be higher for x = 0.5. The coercivity (Hc) dropped dramatically, recording a reduction of about 95% at x = 1.0, attributed to decreased in Ha. SEM micrographs of Co-Ti substituted films revealed hexagonal grain structure. The magnetic properties of Co-Ti substituted BaM, suggests a possible candidate for microwave applications.
