Effect of heat treatment on the structural and microstructural properties of the Co2-Y hexaferrites

The effect of heat treatment on the structural and micro-structural properties of the Co2-Y (Ba2Co2Fe12O22) was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and the Rietveld refinement. The samples were synthesized using high-energy ball milling technique. Phase identification and Rietveld refinement of the samples confirmed the presence of a single Y-type phase that is consistent with reported patterns. Analysis of the lattice constants obtained using the Rietveld refinement confirmed the presence of inner distortion, which was responsible for increasing the lattice constants. However, after the heat treatment, the lattice constants were in good agreement with the reported pattern. The structural analysis using quadratic elongation revealed distortions in the crystal structure. The structural analysis revealed some differences in the cation-anion distances in some sites, while in other sites, these distances remained the same. The use of the Rietveld refinement to obtain micro-structural information about the size and the strain was reported. Heat treatment induced diffusion between crystal domains leading to an increase in crystallite size.
