Impact of Chromium doped on the Magnetic and Structural Properties of Barium Ferrite (BaFe12-xCrxO19) synthesized by Co-precipitation Method

Abstract

Barium ferrite is commonly utilized due to its exceptional characteristics as a magnetic recording material with high density. The co-precipitation process will be used in this study to produce the chromium doped barium ferrite at various ratios. This is done to increase the material's permeability and prevent magnetic loss. Samples of chromium-doped barium ferrite in varying ratios (1–5 %) are subjected to a 6-hour sintering process at 1000°C, followed by an X-ray powder diffraction study. According to the analysis, the measured values are in agreement with the conventional parameters (a=b=5.864 Å and c=23.099 Å), confirming that the samples are part of the hexagonal system. X-ray beams are used to evaluate the sample's binding energy and obtain XPS spectra. Magnetic saturation, magnetic remanance and coercivity are measured by the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). From UV analysis, the measured band gap value for pure barium ferrite is 2.944 eV.
