Barium Hexaferrite Single Crystal Growth Using PbO and Na₂O Based Flux

Abstract:

Barium hexaferriteBaFe₁₂O₁₉single crystals hexagonal platelet shape and sizes of up to 8 mm were grown of lead oxide and sodium oxide based fluxes at 1260 °C. The unit cell parameters of single crystals grown using different fluxes is in good agreement with literature data. Substitution of Ba by Pb was detected, but with only negligible influence on unit cell parameters and Curie temperature.
