Abstract
The structural developments in nanostructural Zn- and Ba-ferrites obtained by wet and dry ball milling are discussed. Commercially available powders of ZnFe2O4, and BaFe12O19 were used as starting materials. The initial powder particles had typical size distribution in the range 0.5-50 μm. The structure of the products were identified using a Philips diffractometer employing Co Kα radiation. Changes in the particle size are the most obvious feature of milling. It is generally the case that for dry milling in vacuum or low-pressure conditions, the initial rapid fragmentation to sub-micron particles is followed by a slight increase in particle size up to approximately 2 μm with extended milling.
