Off-stoichiometric NiZn ferrite was obtained by hydrothermal process and compacted in torus form under different pressures. Two samples A1 and A2-cobalt doped (0.5 %) were sintered at 1573 K in air atmosphere during 3 h. The magnetic properties were studied by vibrating sample magnetometry, Mössbauer spectroscopy and complex impedanciometry. X-ray diffraction and Hg porosimetry were used in order to determine the average grain size and the type of packing in the samples. Both samples exhibited superparamagnetic behavior in the hysteresis loop. This effect does not agree with Mössbauer results, which were fitted using Normos, a commercial computer program. All samples parameters were compared.

Pós de titanato de bário foram produzidos por síntese hidrotérmica, a 220°C, por 20h, na forma estequiométrica pura e dopada com concentrações de lantânio entre 0,2 e 1,0mol%. Os pós foram caracterizados por difração de raios X e, em seguida, prensados a 3000kgf, na forma de pastilhas. As pastilhas foram sinterizadas ao ar a 1250ºC por 5h e caracterizadas por difração de raios X, microscopia eletrônica de varredura e impedanciometria complexa
Barium titanate powders were produced by hydrothermal synthesis, at 220ºC, for 20 hours, in stoichiometric composition and doped with lantanum varying from 0.2 to 1.0mol%.The powders were characterized by x-ray diffraction and then pressed at 3,000 kgf to form discs. The discs were sinterized on air at 1250ºC for 5 hours and characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and complex impedanciometr

Pós finos de titanato de bário, na composição BaTiO3, foram produzidos por síntese hidrotérmica entre 140°C e 220°C, com tempos variando entre 4 e 20h, com o enchimento crítico das autoclaves. Foram empregadas, na mistura, proporções Ba/Ti de 1,02 e 2,00. Desses pós foram produzidas peças cerâmicas sinterizadas a 1180°C, 1250°C e 1320°C com patamares de 2,5h e taxa de aquecimento de 1°C/min. As densidades das pastilhas cerâmicas de titanato de bário foram determinadas e correlacionadas à temperatura de sinterização. As microestruturas das peças sinterizadas foram observadas por microscopia eletrônica de varredura.
Fine barium titanium oxide powders were produced by the hydrothermal process in temperatures between 140 and 220°C, and times between 4 and 20 hours, for the critical filling of the autoclaves, and Ba/Ti ratios in the mixture of 1.02 and 2.00. The powders were pressed and sintered at 1180, 1250 and 1320°C for 2,5h and a heating rate of 1°C/min. The densities of the sintered bodies were measured and related to the sintering conditions. Microstructures of the ceramic samples were examined by SEM
