“…In addition, many research groups have investigated barium ferrite as microwave absorbers 6)- 8) and magnetic recording media 9) by modifying its anisotropy. The control of its magnetic property is achieved by the replacement of Fe 3+ ions by Al 3+ 10)-13) , Cr 3+ 13)-15) ions or pairs of (Me 2+ Mt 4+ ) ions such as (Co 2+ Ti 4+ ) 16,17) , (Zn 2+ Ti 4+ ) 18), 19) , (Mn 2+ Ti 4+ ) 6), 20) , (Ni 2+ Sn 4+ ) 21) , (Co 2+ Sn 4+ ) 22) , (Co 2+ Zr 4+ ) 23), 24) , where the Me and Mt represent divalent and tetravalent cations, respectively. The substitution effect on anisotropy is so significant that even the hard magnetic property of BaFe12O19 was changed to soft magnetic by substitution of (Co 2+ Zn 2+ )Ti 4+ for Fe 3+ 25) .…”
