Abstract
The effects of dry-milling BaFe12O19 in air for periods of 190, 360, 590, 690 and 1000 h have been investigated by X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer effect measurements. The sizes of the BaFe12O19 particles decrease on milling, as expected, although a partial decomposition of BaFe12O19 to α-Fe2O3 is found to take place on extended milling (1000 h). The room temperature Mössbauer spectra are consistent with superparamagnetic relaxation associated with the fine BaFe12O19 and α-Fe2O3 particles. The X-ray diffraction patterns of all the milled samples exhibit features indicative of a disordered structural state, consistent with the nanoscale particles and a nanostructured state.
