Effects of nonmagnetic indium ion substitution on magnetic properties of M-type strontium hexaferrites SrFe12-xInxO19 (x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1) have been studied by crystallographic and magnetic measurements. Samples were prepared by citric auto-combustion method. Rietveld analysis of X-ray diffraction profiles showed that the samples were single phase with the space group P63/mmc and lattice constants a and c increased linearly with In3+ content. Mossbauer spectra showed that In3+ mainly replaced Fe3+ ions in 4f(2) sites and that 12k subspectra split into two distinct components 12k(1) and 12k(2). Analysis of hysteresis curves showed that while the coercive force and the magnetic anisotropy constant decreased thru the whole doping range x, the saturation magnetization first increased until x=0.5 and decreased thereafter. This behavior was explained by the existence of two competing interactions in terms of nonmagnetic indium substitution. (c) 2020 Author(s).
