Abstract
Thermal initiation of a mix of metal superoxide (MO2, M = Sr, Ba), iro n and iron powder in air induces a self propagating reaction with velo city 0.5 mm s(-1) and the formation of predominantly MFe12O19. Heating the mixture to 1150 degrees C for 2 h produces pure crystalline MFe12 O19. The ferrites were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction (Riet veld analysis), FTIR, VSM magnetism, EDAX/SEM, electron probe analysis and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The ferrites showed good purity, coercivi ty, remanence and hysteresis loops compared to commercial samples. Pre paration of ferrite solid solutions MxM'yFe12O19 (M = Sr, Ba, Pb) was investigated.
