The magnetic properties of SrFe12O19 (SFO) hard hexaferrites are governed by the complex relation to its microstructure, determining their relevance for permanent magnets´ applications. A set of SFO nanoparticles obtained by sol–gel self-combustion synthesis was selected for an in-depth structural X-Rays powder diffraction (XRPD)...

Sol-gel synthesis was used in order to obtain nanocrystallites of the SrFe12O19 (SFO) hexaferrite in an efficient and reliable way. By optimizing the initial synthetic conditions, we were able to control the size of the nanoparticles (NPs), at lower annealing temperature. The x-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and...

The vibrational properties of monoclinic dirutile-type CoTeO4 (space group P21/c) were investigated by means of Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopy on stoichiometric single crystals and theoretical density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Experimental in situ investigations under pressure and temperature variations up to 10.1 GPa and 750...

High-quality crystals of CoTeO4 were grown by application of chemical vapor transport reactions in closed silica ampoules, starting from polycrystalline material in a temperature gradient 640 °C → 580 °C with TeCl4 as transport agent. Crystal structure analysis of CoTeO4 from single crystal X-ray data revealed a dirutile-type structure with...
