    Abstract

    The structural and magnetic behaviour of BaFe12O19 subjected to milling in vacuum for 1000 h has been investigated by x-ray powder diffraction and Mössbauer effect spectroscopy techniques. Pronounced structural disorder is obtained along with partial decomposition of BaFe12O19 to α-Fe2O3 and evidence for superparamagnetic relaxation effects due to the fine particles produced on milling. Restoration of the fully crystallised BaFe12O19 structure on annealing at 1000°C is accompanied by a six fold enhancement in the magnetic coercivity. This behaviour is linked with the fine crystallites.
