Barium ferrite BaFe12O19 and its substituted derivatives BaFe9.6Co0.8Ti0.8M
0.8O19 (M = Cu,Zn,Cr,AI,Sn,Sb) have been prepared from chemical coprecipita
ted carbonate precursor Powders of the samples show a hexagonal fine platel
et structure and a narrow particle size distribution. Hysteresis loop measu
rements prove that the coercivity suitable for magnetic recording can be ob
tained in this new Co-Ti-M series. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. ALI right
