Samples of polycrystalline yttrium-iron garnet synthesized using radiation-thermal sintering and ceramic processing have been studied by the Mössbauer spectroscopy method. The best decomposition of the Mössbauer spectroscopy spectra of the research objects, which is a simulation of the experimental spectrum with five sextets, has been selected. An additional fifth sextet is caused by Fe3+ ions, which are surrounded by oxygen vacancies leading to distortion of Fe-tetrahedra, which is reflected in an increase in the quadrupole splitting of Fe3+. An increase in the density of s-electrons on Fe ions in distorted tetrahedra has been found, resulting in a decrease in the isomeric chemical shift δ of Fe ions to a value close to the δ value for Fe4+ ions. It has been shown that the optimal crystal structure is realized in Y3Fe5O12 polycrystals when they are sintered for 40–60 min in the temperature range of 1350–1400°C by the radiation-thermal sintering method.

Temperature dependences of the effective magnetic anisotropy field and ferromagnetic resonance linewidth in samples of isotropic and anisotropic hexaferrite SrFe11.2Al0.1Si0.15Ca0.15O19 and anisotropic hexaferrite BaFe10.4Al1.4Si0.15Mn0.1O19, obtained by ceramic technology with wet blanks pressed in the magnetic field of 10 kOe, were studied in the frequency range from 25 to 67 GHz. The studies were carried out at temperatures from 25 to 85°C. The change in the magnetic anisotropy in this temperature range was found to be 9.8 Oe/°C for barium hexaferrite and 4.2 Oe/°C for strontium hexaferrite; the change in the ferromagnetic resonance linewidth was 12.2 Oe/°C for barium hexaferrite and 10–12.3 Oe/°C for strontium hexaferrite.

The Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS) method was used to study polycrystalline iron yttrium garnet (YIG) samples synthesized by radiation thermal sintering (RTS) technology and by standard ceramic technology (CT). The best option for decomposing the MS spectra of the objects of study was selected, which is a model of the experimental spectrum with five sextets. An additional fifth sextet is caused by Fe3 + ions, surrounded by oxygen vacancies which lead to distortion of the Fe tetrahedra which reflected by an increase in the quadrupole splitting of Fe3+. An increase in the density of s-electrons on Fe ions in distorted tetrahedra lead to a decrease in the isomeric chemical shift δ of Fe ions up to a values closed to the δ value for Fe4+ ions. It was shown that the optimal crystalline structure realizes for Y3Fe5O12 polycrystals upon sintering by RTS method in the temperature range of 1350–1400 ° C for a time from 40 to 60 min.

In the work in the frequency range 25 – 67 GHz the temperature changes of the effective magnetic anisotropy field and ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of the samples isotropic and anisotropic hexaferrite SrFe11.2Al0.1Si0.15Ca0.15O19 and anisotropic hexaferrite BaFe10.4Al1.4Si0.15Mn0.1O19 were studied. The samples obtained by ceramic technology with the pressing of the raw blanks in a magnetic field of 10 kOe. The studies were carried out in the temperature range+25 – +85 ºC. It was found that in the specified temperature range, the change in magnetic anisotropy is 9.8 Oe/ºC for barium hexaferrite and 4.2 Oe/ºC for strontium hexaferrite, and the change in ferromagnetic resonance linewidth is 12.2 Oe/ºC for barium hexaferrite and 10 – 12.3 Oe/ºC for strontium hexaferrite.

The work is purely metrological in nature. The developed methods for measuring the effective magnetic anisotropy field HAeff and the line width of ferromagnetic resonance ∆H of magnetically-axis hexagonal ferrites in the working frequency range of the microwave range of electromagnetic waves are presented. Methods allow to determine HAeff in the ranges of 10—23 kOe and 28—40 kOe and ΔН in the range of 0.5÷5 kOe. The first technique (measurement technique in free space in the three-millimeter wavelength range) is implemented in the frequency range 78.33—118.1 GHz. The second technique (the technique using the microstrip transmission line) is implemented in the frequency range from 25 to 67 GHz. Testing of the methods on polycrystalline samples of hexagonal barium and strontium ferrites (both nominal composition and complex ones) with a high degree of magnetic texture, comparison of measurement results with results obtained using standard measurement techniques on spherical samples showed their high accuracy and reliability.

This article discusses the influence of substitution with Al3+ ions on the field of the effective magnetic anisotropy HAeff and the degree of magnetic texture f of anisotropic polycrystalline hexagonal ferrites of barium and strontium. Sample batches are produced by ceramic technology, the texture is formed by compaction in a magnetic field. The preparation of test objects is described in detail. Batches of barium hexaferrites with an ion concentration of Al3+ 0.9, 1.4, 2.5, and 2.6 f.u. and batches of strontium hexaferrites with a concentration of 0.1 f.u. are synthesized. It is demonstrated that the applied procedure makes it possible to obtain barium and strontium hexaferrites with HAeff = 19–35 kE and f = 80–83%. The mentioned values of HAeff and f are sufficient for the production of substrates for microstrip UHV devices of the millimeter wave band. For the first time, it is detected that the degree of the magnetic texture of polycrystalline barium hexaferrites increases with the concentration of Al3+ ions; in addition, a moderate magnetic texture (5.5–5.8%) is observed in isotropic strontium hexaferrites. The experimental results are discussed. The formation mechanism of the magnetic texture in the considered hexaferrites during synthesis is proposed.

In this work the crystal structure and texture of isotropic and anisotropic polycrystalline hexagonal ferrites BaFe 12 O 19 obtained by the method of radiation-thermal sintering (RTS) is studied using X-ray diffraction and X-ray phase analysis. Crude blanks of both isotropic and anisotropic hexaferrites are obtained by the standard method of ceramic technology from the same raw material (Fe 2 O 3 and BaCO 3 of the analytical grade brand) and on the same equipment with the only difference being that the anisotropic blanks were pressed in the magnetic field H = 10 kOe. For sintering raw billets, a linear electron accelerator ILU-6 (electron energy E e = 2.5 MeV) is used (Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences). The samples are sintered in air for one hour at 1200, 1250, 1300, and 1350°C. It is shown for the first time that high-quality single-phase isotropic and anisotropic hexaferrites BaFe 12 O 19 can be obtained from raw blanks of a ferritized charge using the RTS technology. The properties of the crystal structure and texture of the obtained objects of the research are described. It is established for the first time that the dependence of the pref.orient.o1 predominant orientation of the crystal texture parameter on the degree of the magnetic texture f in polycrystalline hexagonal barium ferrites of type M is described by the expression pref.orient.o1 = –0.005 f + 0.6886.

Using polyelectrolytes, ecologically safe film elements from hexaferrites have been designed for the first time with water slurry casting instead of existing processes with the use of organic solvent binders. The use of polyelectrolyte substances as binders has made it possible to reduce the energy consumption of drying by 20–30% during the process of film casting.

The effects of the base composition and dopants on the saturation magnetization and coercivity of hexaferrites BaAl x Fe 12– x O 19 , SrAl x Fe 12– x O 19 , BaGa x Fe 12– x O 19 , SrGa x Fe 12– x O 19 , BaSc x Fe 12– x O 19 and SrSc x Fe 12– x O 19 have been studied. Isomorphic substitutions of Al 2 O 3 , Ga 2 O 3 , and Sc 2 O 3 for Fe 2 O 3 in barium and strontium ferrites are found to increase coercivity due to increasing crystallographic anisotropy constant and to reduce the saturation magnetization value. Processes controlling microstructure formation, specifically recrystallization processes, are shown to have a noticeable effect on the level of properties of the ferrites under study with the use of dopants. The most efficient dopants are boron, calcium, and silicon oxides, which provide the formation of relatively fine-grained structures. The increased coercivity upon doping with these dopants is also due to the formation of grain-boundary interlayers of a nonmagnetic glassy phase and the associated efficient retardation of moving domain walls.

We analyze the effect of duration of dry crushing of strontium hexaferrite powders (manufactured at joint-stock corporation Olkon) in a vibratory mill on the degree of disaggregation of powders and on the properties of articles on their basis. It is shown that an increase in the vibrational frequency of the vibromill from 25 to 50 Hz with the amplitude of vibrations maintained in the limits 3–4 mm makes it possible to reduce by 5 times the crushing time ensuring complete disaggregation of powders. An increase in the impact energy of balls with increasing vibrational frequency activates the powders due to microdistortions appearing in the crystal lattice. An increase in the degree of disaggregation of powders leads to sintering and formation of a dense fine-grain microstructure ensuring an increase in the maximal energy product (BH)max of magnets by 15–20%.
