Coercivity and interactions in coprecipitated and ceramic SrFe12O19 (Sr‐M) hexaferrite samples were studied using remanence curves and magnetic viscosity in addition to microstructural considerations by means of SEM analysis. Following a magnetic viscosity formalism, the activation volume was obtained and interactions were evaluated using the ΔM technique. Even for a coprecipitated sample with a high coercive field (Hc = 6100 Oe), the experimental activation volume indicates a non‐coherent mechanism for magnetization reversal and demagnetizing‐like interactions were found in this isotropic sample with large aspect ratio particles; also demagnetizing‐like interactions were found for a thermally treated coprecipitated sample and a ceramic sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
