Giant coercivity of dense nanostructured spark plasma sintered barium hexaferrite
Résumé
Due to the limited rare-earth elements resources, ferrite magnets need to be improved drastically. Ideally, for a true hard magnet, the coercive field should be larger than the saturation magnetization, which is not yet realized for ferrites. Thus, an alternative can be found in making very fine grain ferrite magnets, but it is usually impossible to get small grains and dense material together. In this paper, it is shown that the spark plasma sintering method is able to produce approximately 80% of dense material with crystallites smaller than 100 nm. The as-prepared bulk sintered anisotropic magnets exhibits coercive field of 0.5 T which is approximately 60% of the theoretical limit and only a few percentage below that of loose nanopowders. As a result, the magnets behave nearly ideal (−1.18 slope in the BH plane second quadrant) and the energy product reaches 8.8 kJ m−3, the highest value achieved in the isotropic ferrite magnet to our knowledge.
