Popis: Barium hexaferrite and hexaaluminate are of hexagonal symmetry (P63mmc) with a structure respectively of magnetoplumbite (MP) and s-alumina (s) type. The BaAlxFe12−xO19 phases (BAF) have been synthesized by solid state reactions at high temperatures (1350°C – 1500°C). The X-ray powder diffraction patterns are close to those of a MP or s structure type but for 4 < x < 8 they also exhibit some extralines. These new lines can be interpreted as 001, 1 = 2n+1 which are “forbidden” reflexions in the P63/mmc space group. Their intensities are particularly strong for BaAl6Fe6O19 (x = 6) and decrease apart from this composition. The a unit cell constant shows a linear decrease with increasing x, whereas the c vs. x curve presents a marked inflection point for intermediate x values. The c/a ratios show that for x ≤ 4 the structure should be of MP-type while compounds with x ≥ 9 would adopt the s structure. For the intermediate compositions, corresponding to the appearance of the extra lines, a new structural type appears. Models are proposed to describe these new phases.
