Popis: We studied the phase stability of Ce-substituted magnetoplumbite-type Sr ferrite under various oxygen pressures. We have successfully obtained Ce-substituted samples as revealed from X-ray diffraction and wavelength dispersion X-ray analyses. The solubility limit of Ce in Sr1- x Ce x Fe12O19 was estimated to be $x = 0.24$ at ambient pressure, which is reduced to 0.05–0.10 under higher oxygen pressures. The variation of the $c$ -axis against $x$ and the reduction of the solubility by increasing oxygen pressure suggests that the valence of Ce is not 4+ but 3+. The solubility limit of Ce is dominated not only by the ionic radius but also by the valence instability of Ce.
