Abstract
A new stearic acid gel method has been shown to be suitable for preparing BaFe12O19 nanostructured powders with narrow particle size distribution. Each state of the synthetic process was followed by use of DTA, TG, IR and X-ray analysis. The particle size and morphology were determined by transmission electron microscopy. The chemical composition of these particles was consistent with that of the stoichiometric bulk material analyzed by ion emission spectroscopy. Using this method, smaller, uniform-size and high purity BaFe12O19 nanocrystals could be easily obtained.
