Acicular T-Fe20 particles surface coated with barium ferrite fBF) have been prepared by reacting acicular U-FeOOH and the surface adsorbed Ba++ at 810 to 89OoC followed by reduction-oxidation. has a diameter of 100 to 2 0 0 nm and aspecz ratio of 3 to 8, a coercivity of 330 to 3600 Oe, a saturation and residual magnetization of 47 to 70 and 23 to 34 emulg, respectively, by controlling the Ba++ concentration and heat treatment temperatures. They have an extremely low temperature coefficient of coercivity of -0.07 to -0.1 %/OC. These particles are potentially useful for high density recording purposes.The BF coated r-Fe20
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.
